Origin of ​​Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage was developed in the 1930s by the Danish physiotherapist Dr. Emil Vodder and his wife Estrid. During their work, they observed that many patients with chronic colds had swollen lymph nodes. Believing that the lymphatic vessels could be relieved through gentle, rhythmic massage, they began to develop their method. In 1936, they presented their technique at a health congress in Paris, and since then, manual lymph drainage has become an internationally recognized form of therapy.

Origin of ​​Lymphatic Drainage
What is Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual lymph drainage is a specialized form of massage that aims to stimulate the lymphatic system in the body and improve lymph flow. It is often used for lymphedema but can also be helpful for various other medical and aesthetic issues. The technique consists of gentle, rhythmic, and circular movements performed along the lymphatic pathways to promote the removal of excess tissue fluid.

What is Lymphatic Drainage?
How does Lymphatic Drainage work?

The lymphatic system is a network of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and organs such as the spleen and tonsils. It collects excess tissue fluid and returns it to the bloodstream to prevent swelling. It detoxifies the body by transporting waste products to the lymph nodes, where they are filtered. Additionally, the lymphatic system strengthens the immune defense, as lymph nodes contain immune cells that fight pathogens. It also transports dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins into the blood. Thus, the lymphatic system supports detoxification, strengthens the immune system, and regulates the fluid balance in the body.

Lymph drainage works by stimulating the lymphatic system. Gentle massage movements encourage the lymph vessels to transport fluid more efficiently and to resolve tissue congestion. This can lead to a reduction in swelling, an improvement in skin appearance, and an overall increase in well-being. Additionally, lymph drainage supports the immune system and body detoxification by helping to remove waste products, pathogens, and toxins from the tissue and transport them into the bloodstream.

How does Lymphatic Drainage work?
How is the treatment conducted?

A lymph drainage treatment at Circle Health begins with a brief consultation to discuss individual needs and goals. The treatment itself takes place in a calm and relaxed environment and lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the chosen package. While you lie comfortably on a couch, our therapist uses targeted and gentle massage techniques. There are three different focus areas:

  • Local: Concentration on a specific body part, e.g., the face.
  • Per Area: Intensive treatment of a larger area, e.g., the entire legs or arms.
  • Full Body: A comprehensive lymph drainage of the entire body.

It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing. Women should come without makeup, especially if the face is to be treated. You do not need to prepare or bring anything and can come as you are for the treatment.

Our therapists at Circle Health specialize in offering individually tailored lymph drainage treatments to achieve optimal results for your health and personal well-being.

Possible application areas

Reducing Swelling

Lymphatic drainage can help remove excess fluid from the tissue, reducing swelling and edema. This method can be particularly useful after surgeries, for lymphedema, or following injuries.

Relieving Pain

The gentle massage movements of lymphatic drainage can reduce painful swelling and tension in the tissue. This can be especially helpful for chronic pain conditions or after sports injuries.

Supporting Detoxification

By stimulating lymph flow, lymph drainage can help the body expel waste products and toxins more efficiently. This can lead to improved overall well-being and increased energy.

Promoting Relaxation

The soothing and gentle movements of lymphatic drainage have a relaxing effect on the body. This helps reduce stress and promotes a feeling of calm and serenity.

Strengthening the Immune System

A well-functioning lymphatic system is crucial for a strong immune system. Lymph drainage promotes the cleansing of the lymph, which can help strengthen the body's defenses.

I recently had a consultation with Sandra at Circle Health and was extremely satisfied. She took a lot of time to listen to my complaints and problems. Based on my lab results and personal concerns, she created a comprehensive plan tailored to my exact needs. I felt like I was in good hands. Many thanks to Sandra! Absolutely recommended.

I went to Circle Health and was treated there by Charlotte after the practice was personally recommended to me. The practice is located in beautiful, old Berlin premises that create a very pleasant atmosphere. Bright, quiet, relaxed. I would be happy to recommend the practice.

Super happy with the Vitamin C drip I received at Circle today! From beginning to end, the whole staff was super lovely and helpful, making sure I felt comfortable at all times. The clinic is super modern, bright and you even get a free ginger shot with your drip!

Sehr schöne Praxis mit sehr freundlichen und kompetenten Mitarbeierinnen! Habe bei akuten Beschwerden super schnell einen Termin für eine Vitamin C Infusion bekommen. Kurzes Anamnesegespräch und Blutabnahme gab es auch direkt. Ich bin sehr zufrieden!

Tolle helle Klinik, mit freundlichem Personal und einer positiven Atmosphäre. Ich bekam vor meinem Examen eine Vitamin C-Infusion zum Schutz vor der anrollenden Krankheitswelle und bin top gestärkt durch die Zeit danach gekommen
Amelie
Die Praxis von circle ist super schön gestaltet und vor allem das Team ist unglaublich freundlich! Ich habe mich hier bestens aufgehoben gefühlt & komme gerne wieder. Eine rundum positive Erfahrung!
Jonas K
Habe vor ein paar Wochen einen 360° Health Check gemacht bei Manuela. Sie hat mich einmal komplett durch-analysiert und mir sehr hilfreiche und wertvolle Hinweise gegeben, und ich merke jetzt schon die Verbesserung im Alltag. Musti hatte mich während der Analyse hervorragend betreut und mir beispielsweise Blut abgenommen für die Tests. Melanie macht den besten Ingwer-Zitrone Tee den ich bisher getrunken habe und auf Basis der guten Erfahrungen (und dem Tee) habe ich heute auch direkt meine erste Infusion + Osteopathie Sitzung gebucht bei Charlotte, da sie direkt kurzfristig Zeit hatte. Ich habe sowas noch nie vorher gemacht und ich muss sagen ich bin absolut begeistert. Fühle mich nach ihrer Behandlung wie frisch ausgeschlafen und habe einiges an Hausaufgaben und Übungen bis zum nächsten mal mitbekommen. Die nächsten Termine stehen schon! Danke euch und bis bald
Jannis
War bei circle health für eine nightlife repair infusion nach einer Nacht Party. Hatte einen Kater und Kopfschmerzen, die waren danach beide weg und ich hab mich voll frisch gefühlt. Schöne Praxis, nettes Team, tolles Konzept, volle Empfehlung! 🤩
Steffi
Ich bin seit einiger Zeit in der Praxis und sehr zufrieden. Es wird einem zugehört, auch per Mail bekomme ich bei Frau Ruebsam eine schnelle Antwort und Unterstützung. Charlotte hat eine Engelsgeduld bei den Infusionen, obwohl meine Venen eine reine Katastrophe sind. :-) Alle Mitarbeiter aus der Praxis sind mir freundlich entgegengekommen und dementsprechend kann ich den Besuch jeden nur empfehlen.
Sebastian E
