Physical therapy is a health profession that aims to prevent, diagnose, and treat problems with movement and body function. It uses a variety of techniques, including exercises, massage, manual therapies, equipment, and advanced technologies, to help patients recover from injuries, illnesses, or physical disorders.

 

Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic massage technique that aims to stimulate lymphatic circulation and promote the elimination of waste and toxins accumulated in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and nodes that transports lymphatic fluid, which contains waste and toxins, out of the body.

Lymphatic drainage consists of gentle massage movements. These gentle, rhythmic movements aim to stimulate the lymphatic vessels and help lymphatic fluid circulate more efficiently, thereby reducing lymphatic congestion.

It may be accompanied by compression or bandages to maintain the effect of drainage and stabilize and reduce congestion.
