Eliminate toxins from your body and strengthen your immunity with a modern method of therapeutic massage
A sedentary lifestyle has become our everyday life. Sitting at work, lack of exercise in free time and the growing popularity of activities that do not involve the expenditure of physical energy have a negative impact on our appearance, but above all, on our health.
As a consequence of such a lifestyle, it is not surprising that health problems are becoming more frequent, which we associate with a slow metabolism and poor blood circulation in the body.
Phenomena such as varicose veins, swelling of the legs, cellulite accumulations, and even a decline in immunity, are directly related to the impaired function of the lymphatic system, which, due to a slowed metabolism, can no longer break down all the harmful substances that accumulate in the body.
In order to stimulate the activity of the lymphatic system again, and thus speed up the body’s metabolism, at the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic we perform lymphatic drainage – a modernized method of therapeutic massage that, with the assistance of a pneumatic compression device, stimulates the work of the lymphatic system, and accelerates the metabolic breakdown of fat cells and toxins in the body.
The lymphatic system, as part of the immune system, plays a crucial role in defending the body against infections. Lymph, a transparent body fluid with a slight yellow tint, is not only a means of transporting nutrients and oxygen to cells, but also an important factor in the elimination of toxins from the body.
This vital fluid travels through the lymphatic vessels, and during its journey it collects harmful substances, which it then excretes through the lymph nodes. The most important lymph nodes are located in the neck, armpit and groin areas.
It is important to note that, despite its key role, the lymphatic system does not have its own pump, unlike the circulatory system, which is based on the work of the heart as a muscle that drives circulation.
Instead, lymph moves through the system thanks to muscle contractions, breathing, and other bodily movements, ensuring the efficient functioning of this unusually important system.
In other words, lack of physical activity and a sedentary lifestyle can be considered responsible for the slow functioning of the lymphatic system, poorer blood circulation in the body, and impaired metabolic functions due to which the body creates unnecessary stores of fat, toxins and cellulite.
Treatments such as lymphatic drainage help speed up the body’s metabolism, and thus the breakdown of harmful substances and fat cells responsible for the appearance of cellulite, swollen legs and varicose veins.
Lymphatic drainage can be singled out as a very effective medical-cosmetic treatment with numerous advantages, of which we especially highlight:
Lymphatic drainage of the legs is useful in reducing swelling, but they remove the pressure that is responsible for the appearance of varicose veins.
Improved functioning of the lymphatic system will strengthen the body’s immunity and defend it from possible diseases and accelerate recovery from potential infections.
Accelerated metabolism stimulated by lymphatic drainage will allow you to dissolve fat deposits, cellulite, giving you a slim figure and weight loss.
Water retention in the body will facilitate the digestion of substances, the breakdown of toxins, and will serve as a trigger for the lymphatic system, which depends on other metabolic processes due to the lack of organs, i.e. pump that would regulate the operation of the system.
Improved lymphatic system will strengthen your immunity, but also create greater resistance to allergens. By reducing inflammation of the respiratory tract, breathing will become more passable, without feeling malaise, irritation or any other form of allergic reaction.
Lymphedema should be singled out as a separate diagnosis of swelling of the arms and legs due to damage, removal, or blockage of the lymph nodes. Lymphatic drainage can treat this inflammatory process and reduce unwanted swelling.
As a result of the improved functioning of the lymphatic system, this treatment also reflects on your skin health, which after lymphatic drainage can become smoother, without pores, pimples and blackheads. Increased blood circulation will allow your skin to “breathe” again, breaking down oils and toxins that have accumulated in the surface layers of the epidermis.
Lymphatic drainage is recommended for everyone who identifies with the following phenomena:
Slow circulation of the body can be presented as the main culprit for all these problems. A slower breakdown of harmful substances can develop a feeling of fatigue and sluggishness, slow metabolism and pressure on the extremities, which is noticed by varicose veins and swelling of the legs.
Rest and lack of physical activity, mostly due to faster recovery, is a common recommendation of doctors after more serious surgical procedures. In order for rest not to affect the function of the lymphatic system, your doctor may recommend that you go for lymphatic drainage of the body for faster recovery, without the need for physical strain on the body.
Preparation for lymphatic drainage does not require strict procedures. One of the most important factors of preparation is adequate fluid intake 1-2 days before the treatment.
The fluid of the lymphatic system, known as lymph, is characterized by slow movement through the body. To speed up this process, it is essential to maintain good hydration, which is why we recommend an intake of 1-2 liters of fluid per day.
By maintaining optimal hydration, the density of lymphatic fluid is reduced, which stimulates its easier flow through the lymphatic pathways. This improved flow stimulates more efficient circulation of lymph through the tissues, while allowing for a more intense breakdown of toxins and fat cells.
Proper fluid intake reduces the chance of swelling, and the body is also provided with an adequate amount of electrolytes, which can emphasize the therapeutic effect of lymphatic drainage.
Lymphatic drainage is based on the use of apparatus that at first looks like special clothing filled with air chambers. This special apparatus is dressed to chest height and then filled with air while you are at rest in a supine position.
Air compression takes place at intervals, separately for each chamber located in the sleeve of the apparatus. This stimulates the circulation of every segment of the body, starting from the abdomen, through the hips and thighs, all the way to the calves and feet.
Constant pressure changes, i.e. Inflatable Chamber , the treatment has a relaxing effect, and results in the delivery of oxygen to every part of the body, which accelerates the breakdown of harmful substances and enhances the circulation of the body.
The treatment usually lasts 30 minutes, and the so-called lymphatic pants will change 3 programs during this period that will stimulate the best possible breakdown and elimination of toxins from the body.
Since lymphatic drainage does not require any recovery, it can be performed almost every day. However, such circumstances are taken into account only after a more serious surgical procedure, when it is necessary to enable the fastest possible recovery.
For the needs of a person who has not undergone surgery, but is trying to stimulate circulation and treat the aforementioned ailments, one treatment per week will certainly provide satisfactory results.
After the treatment, you can continue with daily activities, and special emphasis is placed on adequate fluid intake, which will accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body.
