Lymphatic Drainage Massage Sydney

Welcome to Therapy Works. We provide lymphatic drainage in our integrated health clinic, located at Suite 3b/367 Barrenjoey Rd Newport NSW 2106. Lymphatic drainage may be beneficial for most people, with or without a lymph condition. That’s because it helps stimulate your immune and circulatory systems, boosting your immunity.

About Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle, rhythmical treatment rather than a massage, which improves the activity of the lymph vessels by mild mechanical stretches on the wall of the lymph collectors. LDT re-routes the lymph flow around blocked areas into more centrally located lymph vessels or gently clears the congestion of the lymph vessels and nodes that eventually drain into the venous system.

Through LDT the lymph system is stimulated, promoting a strong flow ensuring efficient removal of wastes.  If the lymph system is sluggish, toxins hang around in the body creating more potential for inflammation and therefore illness and weakness to invading virus’ and bacteria.

Lymphatic drainage therapy has a positive effect on the following conditions:

Stimulation of the lymphatic system

Lymphoedema

Oedema during pregnancy

Fluid retention – puffy ankles, legs, eyes, and abdomen

Scar tissue – improvement of lymph flow, softens and improves elasticity of the tissue

Post surgical – mastectomy of cosmetics

After glandular fever

Sports injuries

Arthritis and rheumatism

Assistance for migraine, headaches, and MS

Constipation and digestive disorders

Sinusitis and hay fever

Hormonal imbalance

Recurring infections – colds, flu, ear or chest

Skin disorders – acne, scleroderma, eczema and psoriasis

General health and well being

Reduction of the pain associated with endometriosis

Sedating effect on the central nervous system – promoting relaxation and reduction of stress

What is the Lymph System?

The lymphatic system is a system of vessels along side the blood vessels in the body. The vessels carry lymph fluid which is responsible for eliminating toxins and bacteria from the body; continually flushed out by feeding back into the circulatory system and being processed through the kidney and liver.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle, rhythmical treatment rather than a massage, which improves the activity of the lymph vessels by mild mechanical stretches on the wall of the lymph collectors. LDT re-routes the lymph flow around blocked areas into more centrally located lymph vessels or gently clears the congestion of the lymph vessels and nodes that eventually drain into the venous system.Through LDT the lymph system is stimulated, promoting a strong flow ensuring efficient removal of wastes.  If the lymph system is sluggish, toxins hang around in the body creating more potential for inflammation and therefore illness and weakness to invading virus’ and bacteria.

Oedema and Lymphodema

In an acute injury where inflammation is present e.g. sprain or burn and there is an excess of fluid present the lymph system can be overloaded, and swelling occurs (Oedema).  However this swelling is usually temporary, because the tissues heal and the blood vessels no longer leak excessively.

In this situation the lymphatics are essentially normal.  However if the lymphatic system is blocked or damaged due to surgery, radiation, or too few vessels, protein amino acids continue to enter the tissues from the blood capillaries in the normal way and a build up occurs in the tissues where the lymphatics should be draining.  The accumulation of protein in the tissues causes excess fluid to enter them and the tissues to swell (lymphoedema).  The excess protein also acts as a stimulus for chronic inflammation.

One of the results of this is the formation of much excess fibrous tissue.  Chronic inflammation causes more blood capillaries to form and dilate.  This makes the limb feel hot.  This heat combined with the stagnant protein provides a perfect site for bacterial growth.

  • Malignancies
