Why Everyone Should Get Manual Lymphatic Drainage

As a massage therapist who specializes in manual lymphatic drainage here in Greenville, South Carolina, I’m often trying to explain why lymphatic health is vital to everyone. Many people who’ve had cancer or lymphedema understand the importance but I strongly believe it’s beneficial as a preventative treatment. While often recognized as a clinical therapy for specific conditions like lymphedema, evidence is growing that virtually anyone can experience benefits from regular manual lymphatic drainage sessions. This post explores the physiology behind the lymphatic system, the clinical research on MLD, and why it’s vital to long term health.

Acupuncture Mats: Real or Sus?

Today, we'll be diving into the topic of acupuncture mats – those intriguing spiky surfaces that claim to offer a myriad of health benefits.

Acupuncture mats, also known as bed of nails or acupressure mats, have gained popularity in recent years. They typically consist of a foam mat covered with plastic spikes, designed to stimulate acupressure points across the body. The idea is that by lying on these mats, you can enjoy the benefits of acupuncture just without the needles. Instead, they employ acupressure – the application of pressure to specific points on the body. The mat's surface is covered with plastic spikes or nodes that target these acupressure points, stimulating circulation and promoting a sense of relaxation.

So, the big question on everyone's mind and the whole reason for this blog post– do acupuncture mats actually work?
