The lymphatics are one of the most important systems for detoxification and immune support, yet it is poorly supported in the modern western world. Whether one is dealing with chronic conditions or aiming to boost the pet’s immune health, understanding the lymphatic system is key to a healthy life.
Assisted Lymphatic Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive technique designed to enhance the flow and drainage of the lymphatic system. The therapy utilizes a combination of vibration, light, and electrical waves to stimulate lymphatic movement and aid in the dissociation of proteins trapped in the interstitial fluid. Once these trapped proteins are released, stagnant lymph is liberated, allowing it to flow through its normal filtration and reabsorption channels.
Understanding the Lymphtics system is key to health
Inert Gases: These are used to create a therapeutic environment that helps activate the lymphatic system, promoting better fluid movement and waste removal.
Negative Ions: Known for their ability to neutralize free radicals and boost cellular function, negative ions enhance the effectiveness of the therapy by reducing oxidative stress and supporting overall lymphatic health.
Microcurrent: This low-level electrical stimulation helps to stimulate lymphatic flow and aids in the dissociation of proteins trapped in interstitial fluid. By improving circulation and encouraging the release of trapped proteins, stagnant lymph is freed to flow through its normal channels.
Why Consider ALT?
Relieving Chronic Conditions: ALT can be particularly beneficial for pets dealing with chronic conditions by improving lymphatic function and reducing inflammation.
Boosting Immune Health: Regular therapy sessions can help enhance your pet’s immune response and overall vitality.
Improving Detoxification: By promoting better fluid and waste removal, ALT contributes to your pet’s overall health and comfort.
I believe ALT should be part of every veterinary clinic’s repertoire of services. I have a certification course on Assisted Lymphatic Therapy designed for veterinarians, click on the link below to learn more about the course!
Pasco Veterinary Medical Center offers ALT as part of its wellness and therapeutic programs. Schedule your pets appointment (813) 973-2929.
How to support the lymphatic system at home:
The lymphatics system runs through the Fascia (the Cinderella tissue). Performing Fascia Decompression supports the lymphatic system. Pet Parents can perform Fascia Decompression themselves at home, no equipment is needed.
