The connection between the immune system and lymphatic drainage is fundamental for our health. When we are unable to eliminate defect cells, toxins and harmful metabolic waste, our body becomes sick. Lymphatic drainage is crucial here as it stimulates the elimination and mobilization of the lymph, thus helping maintain our body’s balance and health.
In this article, we will explore the efficiency of lymphatic drainage with Capenergy, highlighting how this advanced technology can improve our patients’ wellbeing and optimizing your professional efficiency.
Traditional methods of lymphatic drainage
The lymphatic system, a network of lymphatic vessels and nodes that runs through our entire body, plays a fundamental role in our immune system and health. Its main function is the transport of lymph from the tissues to the blood flow.
As with the rest of our body, there are many causes that can compromise the lymphatic system. Sedentary lifestyle, an inadequate diet or certain health conditions can affect its efficiency. This can manifest through symptoms such as swelling, sensation of heavy legs or fluid retention.
Lymphatic drainage is fundamental in order for the maintenance of the hydric balance and for the elimination of metabolic waste. Several traditional techniques exist for the performance of lymphatic drainage, amongst which manual lymphatic drainage, pressotherapy or bandaging. The most popular manual methods are the Leduc and the Vodder method, both designed to improve the lymph flow and to balance the liquids in the tissues.
Manual lymphatic drainage is based on massage techniques that stimulate the lymph flow and that help eliminate the accumulated liquids. Though efficient, this method requires a considerable physical effort from the physiotherapist and it’s quite limited in scope.
Lymphatic electromagnetic drainage with Capenergy radiofrequency
Lymphatic electromagnetic drainage has revolutionized the physiotherapy field. With Capenergy radiofrequency, this innovative technique offers an advanced and efficient solution for the mobilization of body fluids. Diathermia by radiofrequency, also known as contact hyperthermia, stimulates the circulation of the lymph, the blood and the interstitial liquids.
Capenergy’s radiofrequency devices stand out because of their capacity to generate a major energy delivery to the body, thanks to the optimized size of the plates. This allows for a profound and effective stimulation of both the lymphatic and circulatory system. It ‘s ideal for the treatment of edemas, lymphedemas, circulatory issues and heavy legs. During the treatment, the patients perceive a pleasant warmth due to current passing through the body.
A typical protocol for electromagnetic drainage with Capenergy includes the placement of the active plates on the soles of the feet and the passive plates at kidney level.
This double stimulation improves the treatment efficiency and is based on sessions of approximately 30 minutes. The treatment is entirely automatic, which allows the professional to combine the treatment with additional manual techniques and optimize the results.
Advantages of electromagnetic lymphatic drainage
Electromagnetic lymphatic drainage with Capenergy offers multiple benefits for both the patients and the professionals using the technology.
- Deeper penetración: The main advantage is the capacity to mobilize fluids internally in an effective way, overcoming the limitations of manual massage and reducing the physical efforts of the health professional.
- Major efficiency: The combination of electrostimulation and manual techniques intensifies the treatment effects, accelerating recovery and reducing inflammation.
- Patient safety: The active plates of Capenergy’s devices are equipped with temperature sensors, thus guaranteeing the patient’s safety as an isothermal temperature is maintained throughout the treatment. This aspect is specifically useful in patients suffering from lymphedema, lipedema or allodynia, conditions which make manual contact uncomfortable or impossible.
- Major comfort for the patient: The treatment is painless and relaxing, which increases the adhesion to the treatment.
Benefits for health and wellbeing
Apart from the previously explained advantages, the application of electromagnetic lymphatic drainage offers multiple benefits for both health and wellbeing:
- Reduction of swelling and liquid retention: By stimulating the lymphatic system, excess liquid is eliminated and the swelling of the legs, arms and abdomen is reduced.
- Improved circulation: The activation of the blood and lymph flow stimulates the oxygenation of the tissues and the elimination of toxins.
- Reduction of cellulite: Through the elimination of the accumulated fat and liquids, the aspect of the skin is improved and cellulite is reduced.
- Strengthening of the immune system: The elimination of toxins, strengthens the immune system, thus increasing the resistance to infections.
- Relaxation and anti contracture effect: The heat generated by radiofrequency produces a relaxing anti contracture effect, providing relief for stress and muscular tension.
In short, Capenergy stands out as an essential tool for modern and advanced physiotherapy, providing efficient results in the treatment of conditions linked to liquid retention as well as the improvement of the patient’s general wellbeing.
Electromagnetic lymphatic drainage performed with Capenergy offers an advanced and efficient solution for the improvement of liquid mobilization inside the body.Thanks to its capacity to combine radiofrequency with drainage techniques, Capenergy optimizes the treatment, obtaining superior results in the treatment of edemas, lymphedemas and circulatory issues. The integration of this technology in physiotherapy clinics and medical centers represents a significant advance in patient care and wellbeing, on the one hand, and efficient clinical management for doctors and physiotherapists, on the other hand.
