Dry Brushing for Lymphatic Drainage - Shown the Best way by a Lymphedema Physical Therapist

Dry Brushing is a tool to help keep the lymphatic system healthy and moving. Dry brushing for lymphatic drainage is used to help reduce lymphedema or swelling, but it's also used for skin health and signs of aging. It's another great tool for lymphatic drainage massage, as well. Generally, most videos or blogs will tell you to brush towards the heart, but as a certified lymphedema therapist, I show you in this video how the lymphatic system works and what would be the best technique to do dry brushing for lymphedema or your lymphatic system to be most effective.
