The lymph and vascular systems pump the fluid throughout the body. If
they become overworked or injured, fluid can build up in the tissue
causing swelling. This swelling is referred to as edema, and can be
caused by many things. The massage techniques that were developed
for edema problems are designed to clear the vessels and move fluid
back into the system where it can be filtered out of the body. The
massage techniques are very light strokes, moving the skin and
scooping the fluid up along the pathways of the vessels. These
techniques combined with muscle pumping and light compression can
reduce edema significantly.
