Functions and applications of massage techniques

Overview

Information regarding lymphatic drainage and massage therapy focuses on the physiological functions of different techniques. Lymphatic drainage is described as a specialized method using light, rhythmic movements to assist the lymphatic system in transporting excess fluid, as the system lacks a central pump and relies on movement and breathing.

While lymphatic drainage is used for managing lymphedema, fluid retention, and potentially reducing facial swelling, other massage types serve different purposes. Decontracting massages use higher pressure to address muscle rigidity and tension, whereas relaxation massages aim to lower nervous system activation and modulate pain perception.
