Oedema massage is aimed at providing relief to people suffering from fluid retention / oedema. This is a very slow, gentle massage with quick return strokes, that works systematically to move fluids and provide relief to clients.
Oedema can be caused by poor circulation or because of inflammation. It can be a result of surgery, renal failure or heart problems. However, it is occurs quite commonly during pregnancy and for people who spend considerable time standing.
Areas Prone To Fluid / Water Retention
It’s important to note that certain areas of the body are more prone to oedema than others. This typically includes the feet, legs and kneecap. Many people who work on their feet for eight or more hours a day suffer from oedema of the feet, due to the sheer stressed placed on their feet. This is particularly common among retail and restaurant workers, many of whom stand for long stretches of time without taking a break.
Oedema is abnormal fluid accumulation in the spaces between the cells of body tissues, causing swelling and pain.
Oedema massage is beneficial for people with chronic or acute swelling and fluid retention:
- Pregnancy
- Heart conditions
- Obesity
- Heat related condition
Oedema massage treatments involve using techniques designed to remove fluid by re-creating the normal functions of the lymphatic system. Only light fluid strokes are used towards the heart. These strokes encourage the accumulated fluid to drain using the normal pathways of the lymphatic system. These strokes are repeated numerous times. When performing a session of lymphatic oedema massage, it is common to spend an entire hour methodically repeating the steps on the affected limb.
