About a year ago I had a weird infection in my leg. It got a bit dramatic when the doctor implied that I might need my leg chopping off but then couldn't actually pinpoint the cause. One of the treatments I had was lymphatic drainage, three sessions of that and the infection cleared up completely and I am, thankfully, still with-leg.

The thing I remember most from those sessions is how amazingly relaxing they were. I am currently reading a meditation book and its references to relaxation reminded me of the treatment, so yesterday I went back for an hour session to remind myself of the experience. It was wonderful and so nice to be doing it without a mysterious ailment to worry about.

The treatment is like a gentle massage but rather than focusing on the muscles it focuses on the lymphatic system. The therapist is able to pinpoint blockages in the system and then works to free those blockages. I can feel the results there on the table but also a day later I can sense subtle differences, especially in my legs. The session has many benefits but more than anything it is so completely relaxing.

The place is in central Hong Kong, called the Vitality Centre
The therapist (practitioner?) is Jan Moor and you can find her e-mail on the centre's website.
