Frequently Asked Questions
Lymphatic drainage massage is a type of therapeutic massage that uses manual techniques to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid. It aids in relieving swelling and the treatment of health conditions, such as edema, lipedema, lymphedema, abdominal bloating, fibromyalgia, and arthritis.
Keep in mind that a specially trained massage therapist should perform a lymphatic drainage massage. The massage therapist employs a range of light movements with no massage oil or lotion, following a specific pressure, direction, rhythm and sequence.
The main focus of lymphatic drainage massage is to promote the lymph fluid flowing easily through the tissues and lymph nodes.
• Increase in lymph production
• Increase of the lymph angiomotoricity, stimulation of smooth musculature of lymph vessels
• Reverse of lymph flow
• Increase in venous return
• Soothing
• Analgesic
When trying lymphatic drainage massage, you may encounter one of the four following types:
• Vodder: A technique based on different hand motions, depending on the part of the body which is being treated.
• Foldi: Based on the Vodder technique, additionally incorporates circular hand motions and moments of relaxation during the treatment.
• Casley-Smith: This method includes circular hand movements with the side part of the hand.
• Leduc: It uses particular hand motions to “collect” lymph fluid before redirecting it into the large lymphatic system.
All the techniques for lymphatic drainage massage have the same base, to apply gentle hand motions that stretch the skin towards the direction of the lymphatic flow.

For this reason, our treatment is tailor made session by session. All what we do is based on your needs, the way your body responds and the evolution you have.
What we do to tailor your treatment:
• First, the professional should observe what your body needs.
• Then, evaluate the condition of your recovery process on each session.
• The professional will determine when to alternate between MLD and the Ballancer Pro®
