What is Lymphatic Drainage?

Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs.

The remaining fluid is called lymph. Normally, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects in your arms and legs, making them swell.

Our massage therapist uses lymphatic drainage massage techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling in your tissues.

Our Registered Massage Therapists

Gwen Rowbottom has been a Registered Massage Therapist for 28 years, specializing in Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Somato-Emotional Release, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. With skilled and compassionate hands, she listens to the tissues to find where tensions and traumas are being held in the body and the flow of fluid is being restricted.

** Gwen’s services are covered by extended health care. This is not traditional RMT treatment. Please call the office for more information.
