Wellness and relaxation treatments have become increasingly popular in recent years, looking for natural alternatives to surgical or invasive cosmetic treatments. Lymphatic Drainage and Wood Therapy aids in removing excess water retention but also offers fantastic skin benefits, helping to improve the texture and appearance of your skin.
Understanding The Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is part of the body’s immune and circulatory system. It consists of a network of pipes or tubes, lymph glands and tissues spread throughout the body. The lymph fluid is collected in the various parts of the body and is then filtered and removed. The muscle contraction and movement of muscles are all helping to move the fluid of the lymphatic system. If the lymphatic system gets blocked and fluid gets trapped in the body tissues, it causes swelling and water retention. By manually stimulating the lymphatic system, you can support the body’s natural drainage process.
How Wood Therapy Works
The unique design and shape of each tool, means that the practitioner can utilise it on a variety of areas on the body. The majority of clients describe the treatment to be gentle yet stimulating, helping to increase circulation as well as aid lymphatic drainage. It is also a very comfortable treatment, which can be performed to a light or deep pressure. The use of wooden massage tools makes it a very natural treatment. Wood Therapy has been used for many years within the body massage industry, as well as for body contouring, and is becoming increasingly more popular as it provides a unique and diverse approach.
The practitioner uses a variety of massage strokes and movements, whilst using the wooden tools to apply pressure on the muscles and soft tissues of the body. The wooden tools are carefully designed to enable the practitioner to work comfortably on all areas of the body, adapting the treatment to suit each individual.
Why People Find The Treatment So Relaxing
Lymphatic Drainage and Wood Therapy is a relaxing treatment that allows the body to work in its own way to release tension and toxins from the body and leave you feeling fully relaxed and rejuvenated. The treatment is designed to allow you to relax and switch off from the stresses of daily life whilst also providing other health benefits.
What Are The Potential Benefits?
Both of these treatments have many different benefits. The benefits will depend on your individual circumstances but there are a few reasons why Lymphatic Drainage and Wood Therapy are so popular with our clients. Temporary water retention is a problem for many women, who find that they have puffy areas on their body. By increasing the flow of your lymphatic system we can work to ease this problem.
This is also one of the reasons why your skin will feel smooth to touch after having the treatment. Many of our clients also have Lymphatic Drainage and Wood Therapy as part of a body contouring package, it can also aid in weight loss. It’s important to remember that the contouring treatment is designed to work in conjunction with diet and exercise to give you the best results possible. As long as you continue to eat healthily, exercise regularly and receive regular treatments then you will start to see results.
What Happens After a Session?
Lymphatic Drainage and Wood Therapy have very little down time. Many of our clients are able to return to work or their daily activities immediately after treatment. Some of our clients have reported an instant lightening of their limbs, reduction in water retention and a feeling of lightness after their first treatment. However, some people may take a few days to a week or so to notice the full benefits of the treatment as the body works to release the excess fluid that has been removed from the tissues.
After your treatment we recommend that you drink plenty of water to help your lymphatic system function correctly and for your body to be able to remove any excess fluid. We also recommend that for body contouring, skin improvement or temporary water retention a course of treatments would be recommended in order to gain the best results, in conjunction with a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
