What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage like?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle and superficial massage as it is aimed at moving the fluid in the dermis with pumping and dragging manoeuvres. The lymph nodes located in the neck, solar plexus, groin, legs and feet are also stimulated.

The difference between manual lymphatic drainage and pressotherapy is that manual drainage is better adapted to the physiognomy of the person, while pressotherapy is a machine that complements manual lymphatic drainage.
