"Maximizing the effectiveness of draining massage: tips to enhance results"

Summer is coming, and with it, fluid retention increases. Lymphatic drainage massage can be your ally to eliminate swelling during this time of year!

The summer season is approaching, and with it comes the need to stay more hydrated and seek treatments that help reduce fluid retention.

But why do we tend to retain more fluids in the summer? This happens because when the temperature of the environment rises, the body temperature also increases.

To regulate the body's temperature, the blood vessels dilate, causing fluid retention, which leads to swelling in specific areas of the body, such as the arms, abdomen, and legs.

What is lymphatic drainage massage?

An ancient technique, lymphatic drainage massage is a highly effective therapeutic massage that stimulates and promotes the natural drainage of lymph through the circulatory system.

Among the benefits of lymphatic drainage massage are:

• Improvement of swelling;
• Acceleration of metabolism;
• Detoxifying effect on the body;
• Enhancement of tissue oxygenation;
• Reduction of bruises;
• Relief from pain related to swelling;
• Improvement of cellulite;
• Alleviation of stress.

How to enhance the effect of lymphatic drainage massage?

Some simple habits that can be added to your routine can enhance the effects of lymphatic drainage. They are:

Stay disciplined

Maintain the frequency of massages as indicated by your therapist. This will ensure that the results meet your expectations.

Engage in physical activity

Investing in physical activity is worthwhile, as it also promotes blood circulation and enhances fluid elimination. Don’t like going to the gym? You can opt for a 30-minute walk each day.

Make small dietary changes

Salt is a major culprit of swelling. Reduce your salt intake by substituting it with aromatic herbs that have diuretic properties, such as parsley, fennel, or tarragon.

Try the new Body Fix treatment

A new exclusive protocol at CitySpa, BodyFix combines enzymatic exfoliation with bandages soaked in a combination of active ingredients (slimming, toning, or anti-cellulite). To finish, a draining and toning massage is performed with the addition of green tea and vitamin B12.

Drink water

Pairing lymphatic drainage massage with good hydration is essential. Drinking water helps the body excrete sodium and accumulated fluids.
