It is a very specialised technique of manual body massage therapy that is being applied with increasing success to conditions such as fluid retention, oedema, toxic build up, chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), lymphoedema, immune deficiencies, migraine, hormone imbalances, and recurring infections such as cold and influenza.
