Lymphatic drainage massage, developed by Dr. Emil Vodder and his wife Estrid in 1936, focuses on the lymphatic system to maintain proper blood circulation, fluid balance, and immune function. Various approaches include Vodder, Foldi, Cadley-Smith, and Leduc techniques. Sessions typically begin with deep diaphragmatic breathing to open lymphatic pathways. The pressure used is gentler than in traditional massage, employing four main strokes - stationary circles, scoop technique, pump technique, and rotary technique. Lymphatic drainage massage benefits conditions like post-operative breast cancer surgery, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Lipedema, and Chronic Venous Insufficiency.
