My most recent studies is with Dr. Perry Nickelston from Stop Chasing Pain. Awesome work! His course on the lymphatic system as it relates to pain, inflammation and disease is a game changer for me and how I understand pain and healing.
Below is an overview of the Lymphatic System and why it matters to your health from the course called Lymphatic Mojo. Next, I've put together a video that teaches you a 3 minute lymphatic routine you can do daily to get your lymphatic system rocking! It will warm you up, decrease inflammation, increase energy and mobility in your body.
Here we go...
The lymphatic system is the most powerful system in your body.
It's the clear liquid that surrounds the cells of your body. Except for cartilage, nails, and hair, your entire body is bathed in lymph. You are literally swimming in lymphatic fluid.
The job of the lymphatic system is to move cellular waste out of the body.
Ever wonder why chronic pain doesn't get better despite all your therapy and medications? Your lymphatic system may be the problem. If the body can't rid of cellular waste during the healing process, the inflammation simply stays in the tissues causing pain. If it can't get out of the body, you can't get better.
Feeling hopeless, tired, fatigued, poor concentration and overwhelmed with lack of progress in your recovery? You need to check your lymph. The lymph is connected to your brain and your brain can't function optimally when the lymph is dysfunctional.
If you have a chronic pain or illness like Lyme, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, IBS, Crohn's Disease, etc., you will have a lymphatic problem. You just need to discover how much.
The video below is a lymphatic dance you can do daily. Give it a go for a few weeks and let me know how you feel.
