Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) developed by Bruno Chikly, M.D. is a light-touch modality employing exacting anatomical science and distinctive manual processes to detect the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow and stimulate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation which are critical for detoxification, regeneration of tissues, and a healthy immune system.

The lymphatic system is a secondary circulatory system comprised of the fluids and materials that are not drained and/or transported by the cardiac circulatory system. It is also a key and major portion of a properly functioning immune system. While the circulatory system utilizes the heart as a large pump to push blood throughout the body, natural lymphatic circulation is dependent upon breathing, and body movement. Injury, inactive life-style, disease, and other factors can result in impaired lymphatic circulation. When reduced circulation persists it can lead to a buildup of normal metabolic wastes in the tissues resulting in a sluggish feeling and/or recurring colds or flu due to a depressed immune system.

LDT stimulates this circulation of fluid in the tissues following the natural direction of lymph flow and encourages the body to return to its own natural state of health and well-being.
