Buy a dry brush. Dry-brushing your skin in circular motions (yes, this is a real thing, not just for influencers!) helps rev your internal flow, Wang says. Infrared therapy is a well-founded recovery technique, with plenty of research from the likes of Massachusetts General Hospital to show that this type of light helps cells to regenerate and repair themselves, but it's also a solid tool for improving other aspects of your wellness routine - such as learning how to sleep better. Research from the China Institute of Sport, for instance, shows that infrared light applied to the body in the evening before bed can regulate our natural circadian rhythms and help us fall asleep faster and enable us to enter a more restorative, deep sleep phase thanks to the additional production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. My experience begins by sitting down with Priscilla, my therapist at the Flavia Morellato clinic at Harvey Nichols, to discuss how I'm feeling, mentally and physically. I list all the usual - and most common - answers she hears daily: I'm feeling tired, sluggish, heavy and stressed. She asks about my gut and bowel movements, any aches and pains and we discuss any medical conditions and my general lifestyle. I'm pleased to hear that she's a trained physiotherapist - all of the therapists at Morellato's clinic are. Yes, lymphatic drainage can be hugely beneficial for many different types of people, confirms Dr Fuller-Shavel. “For the average person, the benefits of MLD are less clear than in specific clinical situations, like lymphoedema after surgery. However, there is some evidence that it may help reduce swelling and pain after general musculoskeletal injury, improve joint movement, and may support post-exercise recovery,” she says.

It can help with swelling and leg discomfort during late pregnancy and it may improve some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia, such as stiffness, [according to research from the University of Sao Paulo],” she adds. “There’s even early research supporting the benefits of lymphatic drainage for constipation when done by a trained specialist.” Amy Sedghi is a freelance journalist, specialising in health and fitness, travel, beauty, sustainability and cycling. I was also relatively tired when I arrived at my session. Without a morning coffee yet, I was feeling the effects of the working week - it was Friday morning after all. But after my session, I felt like I'd had a burst of energy and a brain refresh. This is a feeling that many people, including myself, get in the morning after exercise and it's one of the reasons to work out in winter. Although, I did find that I needed to drink a lot more water - which is to be expected, considering that you're encouraging your body to remove waste. Studies by The Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education looking at muscle fatigue in athletes post-exercise support this theory as well. They show that lymphatic drainage massage has the potential to reduce our blood lactate concentration levels, which is one of the markers of fatigue within a muscle that's just been exercised, and reduce our post-exercise muscle tension by decreasing swelling and increasing healing. It's one way to ensure that DOMS doesn't hit in the days after exercise. 2. Less tired than normal for the rest of the dayI went through a session at Re Place on the body roller machine - a device specially designed to stimulate cell regeneration and increase blood flow to the muscles by increasing the temperature during the rolling and by sending out infrared rays - and these are the benefits I experienced first-hand. 1. Better blood circulation Hit the pool. Swimming is excellent for lymphatic movement, Koehler says. "The pressure of the water against the body provides a built-in ‘compression’ that also helps lymphatic circulation, plus there’s an increase in deep inhalations from the aerobic workout," says Koehler.

It acts like a sanitation system for our body by getting rid of 'waste' that our body naturally produces, or other things that can invade our body, like bacteria," says Linda Koehler, PhD, an assistant professor of physical therapy and rehabilitation medicine at the University of Minnesota. "It's what protects us from getting an infection."Now, I don't know about you but one of the things I always look for in a review of a treatment is what to wear (or not wear specifically). It can be so awkward when you don't know what to expect. So, for clarity: I stripped down to my pants and, laying down on a heated bed, placed a towel over my top half. During the treatment, Priscilla moved the towels as needed. One of the best had to be also one of the easiest to get into though. Kneeling sideways with the sides of your thighs against the machine, you can move from side-to-side to target the different parts of your quadriceps - which are always the muscles that suffer the most post-training for me.

Not in the market for a spa day? You can perform a lymphatic drainage massage on yourself, Wu confirms (although she adds that it's always best done by a professional). Here's how.

That said, it's also important to note that the treatment is not suitable for individuals suffering from tuberculosis, bacterial, fungal or viral infections, those with open wounds, thrombosis, active cancer, or heart, kidney or liver failure. I tried lymphatic drainage massage for the first time - and have some thoughts

More Tips for Long-Term Weight Loss

Although lymphatic drainage has a medical use, it's also trending in the wellness sphere as a treatment promising to make you feel less bloated, puffy, and tense, not to mention help with fluid retention. Some experts even claim it can help with the breakdown of cellulite and fat cells, although more research needs to be done to conclusively prove the latter claim. So, at most, you may experience a reduction in bloating post-lymphatic massage, but don't expect the results to last forever, and don't rely on a massage for weight loss. Can I take care of my lymphatic system any other ways (sans pricey massage)? Covering a diverse range of subjects appeals to Amy. One minute she may be writing about her online styling session with Katie Holmes’ stylist and the next she’s transporting readers to the basketball courts of Haringey where she joined a group trying to lower knife crime in the capital. Simply place the magnetic therapy earrings behind the earlobes and the Acupressure Earrings in the front. Koehler points out, however, that bloating is a symptom that someone who has a normal functioning lymphatic system experiences. "Bloating will eventually go away on its own," she adds—without a special rub.

The jewelry must be stored in a clean and dry place,such as the original box,soft cloth bag or cloth jewelry box. Try contrast hydrotherapy. Alternating between hot and cold water improves blood movement through the arteries, says Koehler. Some experts speculate it could improve lymphatic circulation too—but there isn’t solid evidence yet. There’s no harm in trying it: Switch from one minute of hot water to 30 to 60 seconds of cold water three times at the end of a shower, says Wang.Morellato stresses the importance of doing your homework when it comes to booking a manual lymphatic drainage treatment. "It's essential to ensure that the therapist is trained and certified in the specific technique they're offering," she stresses. "In the case of lymphatic drainage massage, it's particularly important because it involves the manipulation of a sensitive system in the body, and having a highly qualified specialist will ensure you get the most out of your treatment in the safest way possible."
