WHAT IS LTD?

 Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is an original hands-on method of lymphatic drainage developed by Bruno Chikly, M.D. of France. Created out of his award-winning rersearch on the lymphatic system, LDT takes traditional lymph drainage techniques and adds a level of precision consistent with recent scientific discoveries.

 Using exacting anatomical science and distinctive manual processes, LDT enables practitioners to detect the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. From there they can use their hands to perform Manual Lymphatic Mapping (MLM) of the vessels to assess overall circulation and determine the best alternative pathways for draining body-fluid stagnations.

 Therapists work with flat hands, using all the fingers to simulate gentle, specific, wave-like movements. These subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems.

WHAT IS IT FOR?

Lymph Drainage Therapy is a non-invasive preventative therapy that is beneficial for the treatment of these conditions:

• Chronic Pain
• Pre and Post Surgery
• Mild Swelling
• Wrinkles
• Insomnia
• Stress
• Fatique
• Headaches/Migraine
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

***Lymphatic drainage techniques are employed as standard scientific practice throughout Europe and continue to gain recognition here in the United States, from both healthcare providers and major insurers such as Medicare.***

RESULTS

It is shown that when these actions are accomplished the results can be:

• Reduction in edemas (swelling) and lymphedemas of various origins
• Detoxification of the body
• Regeneration of tissues, including burns, wounds and wrinkles
• Anti-aging effects
• Relief of numerous chronic and subacute inflammations, including sinusitis, bronchitis and otitis
• Relief of chronic pain
• Reduction in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
• Antispastic actions to relieve conditions such as muscle hypertonus and some forms of constipation
• Deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress, loss of vitality and loss of memory
• Alleviation of adiposis and cellulite tissues
