Lymph
drainage massage is a technique utilized by estheticians and
massage therapists to provide relief from edema, an accumulation
of fluids in the tissues that causes swelling. This book provides
a scientifically accurate explanation of the lymphatic system,
the theory behind lymph drainage massage, and explains when
it should be performed. The book also explains the application
of lymph drainage massage to the needs of well clients, rather
than focusing on pathology, since most massage therapists
and estheticians will not be treating lymph edema disease
in their work.

- Step-by-step
procedures, including photos for facial, upper and lower
body,
and cellulite massage treatments
- Detailed
photos for visual reinforcement of each step
- In-depth
