Lymphatic Massage Therapy in Saddle River, NJ

Lymphatic massage uses gentle, rhythmic pressure to move the fluid within the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins and waste products from the body. Additionally, this type of manual therapy is sometimes referred to as a lymphatic drainage massage.
 
The lymphatic system plays an essential role in supporting the immune system. By improving lymph flow, this approach stimulates the body’s natural ability to fight off illnesses, making it a beneficial practice during cold and flu seasons or for individuals with weakened immune systems.
 
In addition, lymphatic massage can reduce swelling and fluid retention. This makes this approach highly beneficial for those with lymphedema, a condition commonly experienced after surgical procedures and cancer treatments. Lymphatic massage also promotes relaxation and stress reduction. The gentle strokes and calming nature of the therapy can improve your sleep quality, lower your stress levels, and enhance your overall wellness.

During your lymphatic massage, the specialist will massage your body in a particular sequence. The process will involve stretching, gliding, compression, and cupping motions to activate the main lymph drains in the neck, armpits, and groin. During your lymphatic massage, you can relax while the practitioner uses light, rhythmic movements to stimulate the flow of lymph.
 
At the Functional Medicine Center of New Jersey, we use a PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) bed to enhance the benefits of lymphatic drainage massage. PEMF therapy supports immune function by inducing relaxation and clearing trapped lymph from the body.

Lymphatic massage therapy can benefit individuals with Tick Borne Illnesses, Mold/Mycotoxin Illnesses, and autoimmune conditions by:

• Improving immunity
• Reducing swelling which eases discomfort
lowering inflammation which helps with joint and muscle pain
• Inducing a parasympathetic response which aids in rest and healing
• Reducing Herxheimer reactions. Patients develop this flu-like response when the bacteria like Borrellia burgdorferi (Lyme disease) die off during treatment with herbs, antibiotics or SOT.

Lymphatic massages has been shown to be beneficial in relieving post-operative edema, and jet lag and may play a role in reducing cardiovascular disease.

In addition, lymphatic massage is a great way to boost your wellness, even if you don’t have an underlying health problem like Lyme disease or post-operative edema. For athletes, it aids in easing muscle soreness and boosting circulation after intense workouts. If you are looking to detoxify or simply enhance your overall wellness, lymphatic massage is a wonderful addition to your health routine.

After your lymphatic massage, it usually takes about 24 to 48 hours for the beneficial effects to become noticeable; however, each patient’s response may vary slightly. The benefits you will experience after your treatment will depend on your unique goals for lymphatic drainage. For instance, if you receive lymphatic drainage to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and experience relaxation, you may feel the effects right after your session.
 
For conditions like lymphedema or chronic pain, it might take a couple of sessions to see the desired results. Your body will start to feel lighter, and you may notice reduced puffiness and improved energy levels as the lymphatic system clears out toxins.
