Virtu Arora has been a practicing for over 25 years as a Physical Therapist and is currently working for Stanford Health Care-Valley Care. She became a Certified Lymphedema Therapist through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies in 2006 and has been working passionately with Lymphedema patients ever since. We dive into the importance of Lymphatic Massage and all the benefits , A reduction in fluid retention and swelling with an increase in circulation. Especially for those for have a lymphatic system blockage like lymphedema. Increased immunity for people with compromised immune systems or those suffering from a long-term illness. Faster recovery of tissues after surgery as well as a reduction in scar tissue formation. Boosted metabolism and enhanced digestion. Skin benefits include reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite along with cleaner pores and less acne. For women who are breastfeeding, a reduction in the swelling of plugged ducts. Better hormonal balance. Lymphatic massage gives exceptional benefits for those who have limited mobility or maybe bedridden as they cannot move enough to circulate the lymphatic system. The benefits, however, can extend to almost everyone, though the lymphatic system is a vast network throughout the whole body, and even healthy people may not get as much movement as they should for each area of the body.
