Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, hands-on technique that encourages the movement of lymph fluid, and Logos Physical Therapy provides it as one of its specialized services in Perth Amboy and Somerville, New Jersey. Christine Carlo, PT, MSPT, lists lymphatic drainage among the specialized care she offers.
What it is
Lymph fluid carries waste out of the tissues. When it collects, you can notice swelling and heaviness. Manual lymphatic drainage uses light, slow strokes to guide that fluid toward areas where it drains.
It sits alongside manual therapy in your plan, and it may be used after surgery or an injury; see post-surgical rehab. Call us to ask whether it fits your situation. You can come to Logos with a physician’s referral or ask for care directly.
