Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is an
original hands-on method of lymphatic drainage developed
by Bruno Chikly, MD, of France. Created out of his award-winning
research on the lymphatic system, LDT takes traditional
lymph drainage techniques and adds a level of precision
consistent with recent scientific discoveries.
Using exacting anatomical science and
distinctive manual processes, LDT enables practitioners
to detect the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality
of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. From there they
can use their hands to perform Manual Lymphatic Mapping
(MLM) of the vessels to assess overall circulation and determine
the best alternate pathways for draining body-fluid stagnations.
Therapists work with flat hands, using
all the fingers to simulate gentle, specific wave-like movements.
These subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial
fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of
the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is shown
that when these actions are accomplished, the results can
be:
- Reduction
in edemas (swelling) and lymphedemas of various origins
- Detoxification
of the body
- Regeneration
of tissue, including burns, wounds and wrinkles
- Anti-aging
effects
- Relief
of numerous chronic and subacute inflammations, including
sinusitis, bronchitis and otitis
- Relief
of chronic pain
- Reduction
in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
- Antispastic
actions to relieve conditions such as muscle hypertonus
and some forms of constipation
- Deep relaxation
to aid insomnia, stress, loss of vitality and loss of
memory
- Alleviation
of adiposis and cellulite tissue
