Assisted Lymphatic Therapy

What Is Assisted Lymphatic Therapy (ALT)?
ALT is an accelerated one-hour method of helping to cleanse and detoxify the lymphatic system. If the lymphatic system is congested, the lymph fluid is thick, sticky, stagnant, and laden with toxins, rendering it unable to circulate and eliminate waste. Lymphatic congestion and toxicity reduce the electrostatic field of the proteins in the interstitial fluids and contribute to the thickening and clumping of the lymph.

 

Breaking down the congested lymph fluid is painlessly achieved using the Lymph Drainage XP2. The Lymph Drainage XP2's state-of-the-art technology uses specific high frequencies of electricity and sound to break down congested lymph. Because body fluids are conductors of electricity, the lymph fluid is effortlessly moved through the lymphatic pathways.

 

Each session with the XP2 has the equivalent effect of eight to ten manual lymphatic massages, and the client is left feeling calm and rejuvenated.

​

How Does Lymph Fluid Move?

Without a heart-like pump, the lymphatic system depends on motion (exercise, massage, or other physical stimulation) to propel lymph fluid through its vessels. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)A therapist massages and virtually squeezes the lymph fluid through the lymphatic pathways. The process is rigorous for the therapist as well as for the client, requiring time and multiple visits.

​

How Does It Get Congested?

Stagnation and congestion  of  the  lymphatic system can occur for many reasons including, but not limited to:

• Lack of physical activity

• Emotional stress/trauma

• Poor diet

• Hormone imbalance

• Exposure to environmental toxins

• Excessive weight

• Tight undergarments

• Aging body

• Damage or removal of lymph nodes

 

When lymphatic circulation slows down, poor circulation and chronic inflammation can result. This condition allows toxins and proteins to accumulate around the cells, causing cellular oxygenation to decrease, tissue regeneration to diminish and a further impedance to healthy

immune function.
