EMMETT LYMPH DRAINAGE.
This is a specialised, non muscular massage technique. I understand that there are several styles of lymph drainage available. My own training formed part of the Emmett Muscle Management training course. I enjoy offering it as a separate service from my chiropractic care.
MAIN POINTS TO NOTE:
* Lymphatic tissue and fluid are found throughout the body, forming part of our circulatory system.
* Our lymphatic system is unlikely to have a single, specific purpose in the body.
* It may be involved in immunity, which is multi factorial in its own right.
* Unlike the heart which is designed to circulate the blood, the lymphatic system does not have its own specific pump to circulate the fluid.
* The Emmett lymph drainage technique is based on accuracy and is low force.
* It is relaxing to receive.
* It has a wide variety of applications via improvement of the lymphatic fluid flow.
* Examples are sluggish circulation, blocked sinus, general fluid retention and soft tissue swelling.
* The whole body is addressed, with particular attention being paid to any specific areas, according to the client's history and purpose.
* The cost and timing are the same as for a follow up chiropractic care visit.
* I can treat children with parental consent. Please discuss your child's needs initially.
* The initial health history is shorter than that required for chiropractic care.
* The number of visits is variable. It very much depends on the cause and duration of any symptoms.
* It can easily be enjoyed as a one off visit for general relaxation.
Important points to note:
This is not a medical treatment. I understand that a small number of GP practices are able to offer it "in house" to their own patients.
As with my chiropractic care, I do occasionally refer a client to their GP for a medical diagnosis.
Please ask if you have any questions.
