How to put this delicately? Your lymphatic system could probably use a little drainage. Lymphatic drainage therapy (LDT) is gentle massage that breaks up fluid blockages so the fluid can be processed and used or eliminated by the body. It also assures evenly hydrated and flushed tissue, improving your range of motion and regulating circulation.
The lightest touch has the deepest impact with lymphatic drainage therapy.

“I like to think of it as working on the cellular level,” says Karen Binney, owner of Light Touch Therapeutic Massage, where such a service awaits you.
If you feel stressed, stiff, or simply in need of a little energy boost, try getting your fluids flowing and your tissues detoxed. Karen claims success treating a variety of ailments—arthritis, lymphedema, chronic pain and autoimmune issues, to name a few. “Patients are surprised at how effective a light touch can be,” she adds, and light it is: The pressure of a nickel is used for most of the treatment, with ever-so-gentle stretching of the skin and massaging of the nodes. It’s worth it just for relaxation purposes, but there are some juicy cosmetic benefits, too—perkier breasts, anyone? Yes, I’m serious. Wrinkle reduction? Try LDT face work, no Botox necessary.
