I get asked often for more clarity regarding the Lymphatic System. Its beneficial for so many reasons. But there are times NOT to do it.
Active infection- No
Fighting a cold or virus-No
Blood clots DVT- No
Congestive Heart Failure-No
These conditions are times I can not perform MLD.
Now....if you would like to recover from a cold that is on it way out. You were sick but better now...that's a perfect time to help the body clear itself of residue from the sickness.
Our Lymphatic system is our first line defense! Give it a chance to do its job which is break down invaders!
