What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is a massage capable of moving excess body fluids, i.e. it stimulates their uptake by the capillaries (very fine vessels) and lymph nodes, and expels them through the filtering that takes place in the kidneys. This fluid contains toxins that are detrimental to health and the proper functioning of the body.

Pregnant women
It is a magical and memorable period in many women's lives, during which discomforts can also arise for various reasons.
Throughout pregnancy, the body undergoes anatomical and physiological changes (mostly related to the high production of hormones) that demand special attention.
The swelling and sensation of heaviness in the legs, the overload in the lower back and other pain derived from pregnancy are discomforts that can be alleviated by periodically taking sessions of Lymphatic Drainage Renata França Method, an integrative protocol that I have developed especially for pregnant women.
