Why do we use breathing during lymphatic drainage?

Breathing is an important part of my treatment.

During the appointment, I use breathing techniques with the massage because movement of the diaphragm can help support the natural movement of lymph fluid.

It is also one of the reasons the treatment can feel very relaxing.

I often tell clients not to worry about “doing” anything complicated. I guide them through the breathing and the treatment so they can simply relax.
