Lymphatic drainage massage
Charlie is a specialist in lymphatic drainage massage, a gentle and relaxing technique that helps to improve the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. Lymph fluid is a clear fluid that helps to remove toxins and waste from the body. When the lymphatic system is not working properly, it can lead to swelling, pain, and other health problems.
