Infection is quite common amongst post clients so it seemed like a good idea to share a little Information about why I won’t treat you whilst you have an infection.
When you have an infection, your lymphatic system is actively working to fight off the invading pathogens. In response to an infection, the lymphatic vessels may experience increased flow of lymph fluid. Lymphatic drainage massage stimulates the movement of lymph fluid in the body.
During an infection, the lymphatic system is already working hard to transport white blood cells and other immune cells to the site of infection. Performing lymphatic drainage massage during this time may disrupt the body’s natural immune response and potentially spread the infection to other parts of the body.
You may be ok to have lymphatic drainage treatments once you have been on antibiotics a few days but you would need to discuss that with your therapist.
