How runs a manual lymphatic drainage off?

- Phase I: The manual lymphatic drainage which must occur strictly systematically to free all drain ways, so that a kind of suction originates. This treatment lasts approx. 40 minutes.

- Phase II: Compression: Because by the lymphatic buildup the skin loses to elasticity, a compression must occur after the manual lymphatic drainage. A column federation or a compression sock can be used for it.

- Phase III: Movement: on putting on the compression sock or compression federation movement must occur. Leading, pasture way, to lunge as well as horse riding in all three basic paces are suitable in addition.

In addition, enough rough feed should be offered after the treatment, so that also the digestive system remains in movement. The natural, central lymphatic run-off is promoted by the continuous intestinal movement.
