Treatment process
Lymphatic drainage is carried out by a specially trained physiotherapist. The technique involves gentle, rhythmic movements that stimulate lymph flow. The therapist uses light touch and special grips to move the lymph toward the lymph nodes, where it is cleaned and purified. The treatment usually takes place in a relaxing and calm environment.
