Prevention of occasional swelling of the
feet and ankles
I nsufficient blood circulation in the
veins in unusual circumstances fre-
quently gives rise to an accumulation of
blood and lymph in the extremities of
the lower limbs.
T his phenomenon, which results in
swelling of the ankles and feet, brings
with it an unpleasant sense of heaviness
and tension in the areas concerned. The
deep massage caused by the Lymphatic
drainage programme will effectively ac-
tivate lymph return circulation and thus
encourage the elimination of this disor-
der.

gory subject the muscles of the stimulated region
to moderate activity, which produces beneficial
effects that help to improve physical comfort and
well-being.
emaining in the same working position for a
R
long time (for example, sitting in front of a com-
puter screen), conditions of stress, repeated jost-
ling, insufficient muscular conditioning before
physical activity are all very frequent situations
that are often responsible for uncomfortable bo-
dily sensations.
he automatic progression of the various stimula-
T
tion sequences, specific to each programme of the

effects of stimulation to his own needs and objec-
tives.
If strong pain persists, the programmes of the Massage category should never be
