Have you ever experienced a lymphatic drainage massage? Or are you scratching your head wondering what exactly is a lymphatic drainage massage?
Let’s start with the basics:
The Lymphatic System – made up of the lymph nodes, lymph channels, spleen, thymus, adenoids and tonsils. This vast system of vessels run through nearly all of the body’s tissues and circulates lymph fluid throughout the body. Lymphatic health includes boosting our immune system, flushing out toxins and reducing inflammation – important factors that contribute to achieving aesthetic goals like better skin.
The Lymph Fluid – made of white blood cells and intestinal fluid that contains fats and proteins. This fluid travels through your organs and tissues to clean, collect the waste outside of the blood and move out and drain through the lymphatic system.
The Lymph Nodes – small, soft and round structures located in clusters throughout the body, particularly in the groin, armpit, neck, chest and abdomen. They act as filters that trap viruses, bacteria, abnormal cells and other unwanted substances. These substances are then flushed out of the body.
Enter the Ballancer Pro – A touchless lymphatic drainage massage device with the most state-of-the-art compression therapy system available. This is the newest device that we’re proud to introduce to our clients. This compression technology delivers relaxing pressure to improve wellness, reduce swelling, advance sluggish circulation, decongest, release fluids and toxins for beauty and wellness and speed recovery time of your workout. Because the upper body or the lower body suite touches the lymph channels with compression, the fluid can move through and, the nodes can be relieved of pressure. You may be able to feel the nodes under your arms or in your neck or groin. It is an FDA cleared, non-invasive, incredibly relaxing way to spend an hour of your day.
This advanced lymphatic massage technology is the modern-day way to up your wellness. Boasting an array of health benefits including natural detoxing, boosting the immune system, reduced bloating and improved digestion, plus the physical effects on the body which include firmer and smoother skin and improvement in appearance of cellulite, this is wellbeing meets technology at its finest. Living a super active lifestyle can often take its toll on the body, so trialing the Ballancer Pro can be a game changer for muscle recovery.
So, how exactly does it work? We have two garments, that look like a space suit, consisting of 24 chambers that gently and systematically work over the body. Lie down on you back, get zipped inside while the pressure moves in a precisely calibrated wave-like motion. The treatment provides maximum comfort and relaxation. Best hour nap Ever!! Enhancing the full body and especially your skin! The Ballancer Pro pants work on stomach, hips, thighs and buttocks, while the jacket works on the upper body, arms and back.
We know what you’re wondering…how many sessions will you need before you see results? Actually, results can be felt and seen immediately after the first session. Positive results are usually reported during and after a series of 12 sessions over the course of three to four weeks. There is no downtime, in fact combined with other treatments, the Ballancer®Pro reduces downtime and speeds up recovery. It acts as a beautiful complimentary service with your facial. It feels like a 4 hands massage.
What are other ways to address the lymph system?
Through exercise and hydration. When doing physical activity, muscle contraction during exercise squeezes the lymph fluid through the vessels and fluids move through the system of valves. Drink water, consider electrolytes. When the body is properly hydrated, fluid can move easily through tissue. The moving fluid will filter out toxins.
