RITUAL AFTER YOUR MORNING SHOWER:
1. Starting at your ankles, apply Air-Lite in long upward strokes towards your knees, then stroke it up over your thighs and buttocks.
2. Repeat the strokes several times over the same areas, then use your thumbs and a medium pressure to push up (never down) in lines from your knees to your thighs all around each leg: repeat a few times.
4 MINS
EXTEND THE RITUAL WITH THESE FOCUS TREATMENTS AFTER AN EVENING SHOWER/BATH:
Ankles: circle the bone with your thumb, pushing around it several times then up the sides between the ankle bone and heel.
Push your thumbs all around your ankles and up the sides of your calves. Imagine you are pushing fluid through a tube.
Knees: use your thumbs to massage the fleshy inner (medial) sides and outer (lateral) sides of your knees.
Massage the depression behind your knees in a circular way with your thumb to ease the tightness that can occur here due to a cluster of lymph nodes.
Calves: using both thumbs and medium pressure, push up the sides of your calves – first the backs, repeating several times in lines from heels to backs of knees, then at the sides of your calves, then over the front shinbones.
Thighs: push thumbs up over thighs; pinch the skin (inner and outer thighs) and buttocks with your thumb and index finger and roll between your fingertips several times.
Relaxation: lie flat with your feet up against the wall for 10 minutes to encourage fluid to travel back up your legs.
