Lymph drainage consists of very light strokes of the fingertips around the lymph nodes. Think someone laying a dime on your skin - that's the proper pressure for lymph drainage. It facilitates the flow of lymph, but should not be done on anybody missing lymph nodes or if one is sick (as this would spread the infection).

As a MT, I do not manipulate breast tissue, and to be honest, I'm not sure it's always ethical unless it is being done to stimulate milk production in lactating mothers. However, what is being described here can pretty much be done without compromising the client's privacy (or touching the nipples, which are always off-limits). A good chest routine is a vital part of any MT's standard routine. If there are people out there that would like to get a massage, but are a little squeemish about it, try going for a chair massage or for a foot massage. I would only suggest the above therapy for people who are a little more comfortable/experienced with massage - you'll aready know the boundaries of a professional, ethical massage (hopefully!)

For more information on massage (and how it's regulated), please visit www.ncbtmb.com. That's the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork website. Hope this helps! : )

And, I missed this the first time, but we prefer to be called massage therapists. Masseuse/Masseur has a negative, sexual connotation to it. A massage therapist is professional and certified.

Ooh count me in!

I think I found my new career path. Do I need to go back to college to learn this technique!

The thought of all that done on my breasts does not sound too appealing to me. I'm going to stick with my Distraction Bra. It's less than the $100 you would pay for this massage and it increases my breast size by almost 2 full cups. It looks amazing under clothing too. You can get it at distractionbra.com.

Breast massage is very beneficial for women. It helps drain out toxins in the breast tissue and relax the muscles in the chest area. It also helps women stand up taller with their shoulders back since the muscles are relaxed. If you would like to learn how to do it, we have an educational training video for massage therapists that demonstrates the technique. It can also help keep breast implants soft.
