Lymphatic pathways, mapping your dynamic immune highway.
This post offers a brief review of the lymph pathways and a visualisation to imagine your own lymphatic system.
Keeping up to date in the fast moving world of lymphatics
Research on #lymphatic_physiology has advanced in leaps and bounds. #Lymph_nodes are no longer passive filtering stations, rather the very walls of the nodes are controlling some immune interactions. #Lymph_vessels are not just a system of pumping units, we now know that the #endothelial_cells are actively checking...
My 10 favourite facts about MLD
explain the scientific basis of the effects of MLD, the specific tissue or system effects achieved by individual techniques, and the expecte
'Tis the Season to Be Jolly: Why Laughing is Good for Your Lymphatic System
The idea that simple actions such as talking, shouting, singing , laughing, crying, sighing and yawning can influence our physical health dates back to the 19th century, and Harry Campbell’s observations published in the The Lancet in 1897 laid the groundwork for understanding how these actions affect circulation.
The Unique Innervation of Facial Skin: Why MLD Facials are So Good.
Comparing innervation of the facial skin and the rest of the body affords us an appreciation of the direct connection that skin has to autonomic centres of the brain, and explains how the seemingly simple techniques of MLD, which are mainly gentle, repetitive, circular movements of the skin, can have such a direct effect on both vascular issues such as rosacea, and in emotional stress such as anxiety.
A Pressing Matter: What is the Right Pressure in Lymphatic Massage?
The reality is that effective lymphoedema management demands an individualised approach. One that takes into consideration the progressive nature of lymphoedema, and delivers a nuanced application of MLD appropriate to the presentation, and a tailored self-care program designed to deliver optimal outcomes for the investment made in time, effort, and family resources that lymphoedema inevitably requires.
Using Guided Meditation to Embody Lymphatic Anatomy and Improve Clinical Clarity.
For students of lymphatic therapies, mapping the vessel pathways can feel like navigating a shapeshifting landscape. Guided meditation focuses on inner sensation and perception to assimilate two dimensional, text-based descriptions, and internalise the lymph vessels and pathways using you own body as a reference map. Research shows these exercises do more than aid learning, they can reduce study-related stress and lead to increased clinical confidence and observation skills.
