Lymphatic Drainage for Abdomen and Trunk from MassageByHeather.com

http://www.massagebyheather.com - Learn Abdominal Lymph Drainage Massage to affect the trunk and legs. This video (the first of two) shows the specific method of breathing that is a tremendous tool for reducing edema and fluid retention in the abdomen and trunk and for the legs. Contraindications include pregnancy (Lymphatic breathing is excellent, but don't do part 2 of this video series). Other contraindications for Lymphatic Drainage Massage work in general are as follows:




1. Fever, acute infection, early onset inflammatory disease. You need to wait until the acute phase is over and the fever is broken.
2. Circulatory system problems, especially thrombosis. If there is any risk of embolism of phlebitis, do not use LDM and see your physician immediately
3. Cardiac issues such as heart disease, acute angina pectoris or coronary thrombosis (heart attack). Using LDM increases the fluid load on the heart, and compromised cardiac systems should not be subjected to LDM.
4. Active bleeding, internal or external.
5. Active malignant cancers, undiagnosed lumps, or tumors whose origins have not been determined by your physician.
6. High risk pregnancy or late term pregnancy with complications

@explorer2101 Glad to help. The breathing techniques alone will really help with edema in the trunk and legs.

Heather, Thanks so much for the informative videos. Your work really complements the work that I do with Chi Nei Tsang (Abdominal Chi Massage). BTW, your videos are very professionally made. Nice job! Looking forward to seeing the rest of them. In the Tao~ Francesca Fasano
