LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
The lymphatic system is the major drainage system of the body. It plays a key role in the surveillance and defense of the body, it functions in immune response, it assists in the maintenance of fluid balance by draining fluid from the tissues, and returning vital substances back to the blood stream.
