Lymphatic Bowen Massage: What’s All The Fuss About?
Have you heard about the latest trend in the health and wellbeing world? Yes. It is changing daily, but there is one hot topic right now, and everyone wants a piece of the action. Lymphatic massage is at the top of everyone’s ‘must-have’ treatment list, and it is obvious why. Of course, I am biased, but there are many reasons why I chose to offer this treatment, and I am so excited that it is now receiving the recognition it deserves. I am sure many of you are still scratching your heads, unsure what it means and whether it is a beneficial treatment. So, let’s take a look…
What is your lymphatic drainage system?
In a nutshell, the lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. It is one of your body’s most essential and powerful systems for a properly functioning immune system, good organ health, vitality, and movement. One of its primary roles is to help us fight infection. If it is not working correctly, it can trigger unexplained aches, pains and swellings, not to mention reduced sleep and concentration levels.
The lymphatic system primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, similar to the circulatory system's veins and capillaries. The vessels are connected to lymph nodes, where the lymph is filtered and returned back into your circulatory system. During this filtering process, the lymph nodes remove any damaged cells - so you can see the importance. Our bodies have about 600 lymph nodes and keeping them all working as they should is essential. That’s where lymphatic massage can help. Ok, biology lesson over!
What is lymphatic Bowen massage?
Lymphatic Bowen massage is amazing! It is a specialised form of therapeutic massage often used for detoxification and helping to boost the immune system. Clients find it useful for all types of swelling, fluid retention, inflammation and sinus problems…the list is endless, which is why it is so popular.
This massage therapy technique uses very light pressure to encourage drainage of the lymph fluid that accumulates after trauma to the lymphatic system. The gentle, rhythmic movements of the massage follow the direction of lymph flow. The therapist sends leaked lymphatic fluid toward nearby lymph nodes; the nodes then empty it into the bloodstream. Celebrities – and us ‘normal’ people alike – love it because aside from all the fantastic health benefits, the whole process is excellent for decreasing excess fluid in our bodies and reducing general bloating. Does it cause weight loss? No. But does it feel good, are you left feeling relaxed? Absolutely!
Without proper care and attention, our bodies cannot keep up with the toxins and stressors that modern life throws at us. Lymphatic Bowen massage helps our bodies cope with the daily challenges we all face, something everyone needs and deserves.
Post-op benefits…
With the increased knowledge of the benefits of lymphatic massage post-op, doctors frequently recommend it - if not insist on it - as part of a patient's recovery. It can help speed up healing by reducing post-surgical swelling, particularly after procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks. Along with the reduction in swelling, massage can also improve the appearance of scar tissue and generally makes a patient feel amazing; this is a massive part of any recovery process.
A lymphatic Bowen massage treatment pre-op and post-op can promote detoxification, reduce fluid retention, help accelerate healing, and could, for many, help minimise pain, bruising and scarring. I could go on, but I think it’s obvious why more and more people are turning to it to aid recovery.
But Is It For You...?
Now can you see why lymphatic massage has become the next big thing? Not only has it got 101 health benefit for all of us who don’t have health complications, but doctors also recommend it following surgery; it says a lot when the experts start insisting on it! There is a benefit for anyone and everyone.
If you are wondering whether lymphatic Bowen massage could benefit you, then it’s a no-brainer.
