66 views2 pages

Document Summary

Lymphatic system transports: interstitial fluid, lipids and vitamins. The fluid is derived from blood plasma that is forced into tissue spaces due to pressure. Some is reabsorbed into capillaries, but the rest is carried away through vessels in a one way system, and carries lymph fluid to nodes. Watersheds are different territories in which each territory drains to a different set of nodes. Lymph drainage pumps: clavicular: is lymphatic duct - drains upper quadrant + side of head. Is thoracic duct - drains everything else. Place thenar eminence in soft tissue medial to asis above pubic bone, pump in down and up movement: superficial inguinal pump: below inguinal lig in crease of groin. Hand points cross body, but push towards umbilicus: superficial back: start closest to nodes using stretching or lymphlarage and move outwards towards edge of watershed. Connect with water, visualize and set your intention. Feel the rhythm and keep it slow.
