The Lymphatic System & Neck Massage

Video Transcript

"Hi, Welcome back to Expert Village. So we're pretty much finished with the neck but not quite. There are areas in the neck that are like little pockets. They're mainly around sinus areas, areas of drainage. The bottom of kind of like jaw, around the jaw. Underneath the temple. So we're just going to apply a little pressure to those areas. We're going to check for swollen glands, you don't want to apply much pressure. Whenever you?re trying to create any type of lymphatic drainage, you want to apply as least pressure as possible but you want to create flow. So you want to create flow back in to nasal cavities. You don't want any type of pocket or fluid kind of collecting around the throat. Usually that happens when there's drainage. It's not really that you have a soar throat or you know you have like I guess soars in your throat or whatever. You know a lot of people think because that their throat is hurting so bad it's usually because a lot of drainage and that's kind of what you feel when you have a soar throat. So you just want to kind of relax. You want to move gently around the throat, around the base of the neck. In certain areas you kind of want to do like pressure and like a say create that flow. Back up to the nasal cavity, back in and let it drain out."
