Why we love a lymphatic drainage massage

There is nothing better than treating yourself to a massage (especially when it's this cold outside) but why not try something different and go for a lymphatic drainage massage next time With a whole host of benefits, keep scrolling to see why we're obsessed!

The lymphatic system is the body's built-in detoxifier that works hard to get rid of ‘waste’ (things like bacteria and excess fluid) and plays a key role in immunity and healing, but there are times that it needs a little extra helping hand and this is where lymphatic drainage massages come in.

We have lymph nodes throughout the body, with large clusters in our neck, underarm and groin areas and so the massage focuses on “draining” fluid from these lymph nodes using massage techniques - by encouraging your lymphatic system to deliver fresh nutrients to your cells, it wakes up your skin and helps your body effectively cleanse itself of those unwanted toxins! And if you suffer from bloating, fluid retention or heavy legs (we're thinking about that post-travel bloat in particular!!), the massage is such a great way to ease all that fluid away.

So the goal is to give the lymphatic system a “reboot” to help it work more efficiently and with that comes the debloating, sculpting, relaxing and immunity benefits that we at GLO are obsessed with.
