Lymphatic drainage: an effective therapy for detoxification and regeneration
The lymphatic system plays a key role in removing toxins, excess fluids and other waste products from the body. If its function is impaired, it can lead to swelling, weakened immunity, heavy legs or general fatigue. Regular lymphatic drainage helps to restore this natural process and promote healthy functioning of the body.
"Lymphatic drainage is a non-invasive and painless therapy that promotes proper lymph circulation. It helps the body to get rid of excess fluids, toxins and waste substances, which not only relieves health problems, but also contributes to a better feeling and appearance of patients," explains Mgr. Patrik Vidňanský, head physiotherapist at AGEL Bratislava Hospital. "We recommend lymphatic drainage not only to patients with health problems, but also to those who are looking for a way to support their body in the process of regeneration and prevention. It is a simple but extremely effective therapy," adds Vidňanský.
This therapy has been proven to solve many health and aesthetic problems:
Lymphedema and swelling - helps to remove excess fluid and relieve pain.
Feeling of heavy legs - promotes circulation and relieves tension.
Regeneration after surgery or injury - speeds healing and improves tissue condition.
Strengthening immunity and detoxification - promotes the elimination of toxins and strengthens the body's defences.
Cellulite and aesthetic skin problems - improves the appearance and elasticity of the skin.
Support for weight loss and acceleration of metabolism - helps the body to process harmful substances more efficiently.
How does the therapy work?
Instrumental lymphatic drainage is performed using special sleeves that gradually exert controlled pressure on individual parts of the body. This process stimulates the movement of lymph and aids natural detoxification. The entire procedure is comfortable, painless and takes approximately 30 - 60 minutes, depending on the patient's specific needs. "Many patients worry that lymphatic drainage will be uncomfortable or painful, but the opposite is true. The procedure is very pleasant and relaxing, and its effects are often felt after the first few sessions," explains Patrik Vidňanský.
