Lymphatic drainage

Pregnancy

Manual lymphatic drainage is very popular with pregnant women!

There are many benefits to manual lymphatic drainage during pregnancy and after childbirth:

– from the 4th month and after childbirth, draining the abdomen helps prevent stretch marks.

– in the last trimester of pregnancy, the baby’s size obstructs the natural return of lymph. Water builds up in the feet, ankles, legs and pelvis.

This water retention can be painful, which is why manual lymphatic drainage is recommended from the first signs of oedema.

Drainage sessions can relieve the feeling of heavy legs and other discomfort linked to water retention.

After childbirth, breast engorgement and mastitis can be relieved by breast drainage.

Menopausal symptoms

Menopause is a time of great change in a woman’s life.

The gradual decrease in sex hormones produced by the ovaries can cause more or less troublesome symptoms:

  • Hot flushes
  • Changes in the menstrual cycle
  • Sleep disorders
  • Mood disorders
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Weight gain
  • Water retention…

I offer manual lymphatic drainage sessions to reduce your symptoms and help make this period more pleasant.

Painful periods

When the uterine lining is not shed properly, it causes painful inflammation as well as bleeding.

The body compensates to avoid haemorrhage by secreting more prostaglandins, which are involved in contracting the uterus.

Manual lymphatic drainage helps decongest the uterus and lower abdomen and rebalance blood flow.

Over the cycles, this feeling of discomfort and pain may lessen. Please note that sessions always take place outside the period.

For this condition, I offer lymphatic drainage of the abdomen and pelvis, which can also be combined with leg drainage if needed.
