Manual Lymphatic Drainage is not muscular massage.
It is a slow, soft-touch, rhythmic technique used on the surface level to stimulate the lymphatic system just beneath your skin and is extremely effective at ramping up your bodies natural immunity and detoxing abilities. Best used as a regularly maintained protocol or with more frequency for specific edema / fluid retention issues (after surgery or chemo, etc), this treatment directly affects your overall health and wellness.
Although it is not therapeutic on a muscular level, it is still incredibly soothing, relaxing, and enjoyable - with often immediately apparent effects.
Lymphatic drainage works by activating and quickening the natural rhythmic "pump" of the lymph system, which has often become sluggish because of stress and many environmental / lifestyle / nutrition choices. With our natural lymphatic pump revved up, the lymph can more efficiently carry away toxins and bring healthy lymphocytes to the areas in need of repair, as it should.
Have you been feeling tired, sluggish, "puffy" or bloated - it's almost certain your lymph system needs some help.

MLD 60min Treatment
Lymphatic drainage first began as a head, neck, and face treatment for sinus and allergy issues, as well as to treat colds, auto immune issues, respiratory issues, headaches, sore throats, facial bloating, issues with vision, TMJ and neck issues, etc.. It was also originally (and still) sought after in Europe for its cosmetic and aesthetically pleasing effects for facial sculpting.
Full body lymphatic drainage treatments began to gain in popularity over the last decade and are extremely beneficial for the immune and circulatory systems (healthy lymph flow = healthy heart), as well as the entire body in general.
During a full body 60min session at The Good Rest, you can expect it to focus on relaxation while also being thoroughly effective. Those with auto immune conditions and chronic pain issues report great improvements after even just one full body session! 60 minutes allows for a full body treatment, or more detailed treatment of a particular area of the body experiencing local edema or fluid retention from injury, disease, post-surgery, etc.
Whatever your particular need is, each MLD session is custom tailored just for you.
