Final answer:
Lymphatic drainage therapy is a gentle massage technique used to stimulate lymph flow and reduce edema, erythema, and other conditions, by helping to remove waste and excess fluid from the body.
Step-by-step explanation:
The light-pressure massage referred to in the question is likely lymphatic drainage therapy or manual lymphatic drainage. This therapy is used to reduce swelling (edema) caused by excess buildup of fluid in the body and can also be used to help lower blood pressure.
The main goal of lymphatic drainage is to improve the flow of lymph, the fluid in the body that removes toxins and waste, which can provide relief from edema, erythema, puffiness, discoloration under the eyes, acne, and cellulite. The process involves gentle, rhythmic massage techniques to stimulate the movement of lymph fluids around the body. This helps in the removal of waste and contributes significantly to clients' health by also potentially reducing microbial load on the skin.
