Keep the Flow Going: Aesthetic VideoSource Presents "Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy" DVD Series

Salt Lake City, UT – The lymphatic system is the frontline in the body's defense mechanisms. It filters out disease-causing organisms, such as viruses and bacteria; distributes fluids and nutrients in the body; and, drains excess fluids and protein so that tissues do not swell. However, the lymphatic system has no central pump. Its movement is dependent on muscular contraction, breathing, and manual manipulation, such as massage.

In Aesthetic VideoSource's new Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy instructional DVD series, expert massage therapist and instructor, Meade Steadman, demonstrates step-by-step how to provide lymphatic drainage therapy. This massage aids lymphatic drainage, increasing lymph flow by as much as 20%.

In this instructional lymphatic drainage DVD series, Steadman, shows the strokes used in lymphatic massage and demonstrates, step-by-step, a routine for providing manual lymphatic drainage to promote lymphatic flow and the proper function of this critical system. In Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy: Face & Neck, the demonstration focuses on the face and neck. Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy: Body features a massage dedicated to the body.

In both lymphatic drainage courses, Steadman discusses the lymphatic system in detail, including the lymph vessels, organs, and nodes. He discusses lymphatic flow, the benefits and contraindications of lymphatic massage, and post-treatment recommendations.

"You want to emulate the rhythm of the natural lymphatic flow, going slowly. Try to get in tune with the client's pulse and rhythm," says Steadman.

"Steadman does a great job explaining the anatomy of the lymphatic system and demonstrating palpation skills that therapists can develop to follow the rhythm and direction of the lymphatic flow," says Shirley Erickson Gorospe, president of Aesthetic VideoSource. "His experience as an instructor shines through in this comprehensive lymph drainage training program."

Meade Steadman is a licensed massage therapist and instructor for the Myotherapy College of Utah and the Myotherapy Institute of Massage. He is also the featured expert in other instructional videos which have received many awards and accolades, including Essentials of Swedish Massage, The Art & Practice of Stone Massage, Comprehensive Reflexology and Massage, and Therapeutic Breast Massage.
