Describe the directions in which dry brushing strokes should be applied to various parts of the body
What will be an ideal response?
Because the lymphatic system flows in one direction, the strokes performed in dry brushing and other manual exfoliation techniques travel along the pathway of lymph flow:
? In the extremities, the strokes are performed toward the client's heart.
? Strokes on the face, neck, and upper chest are performed downward.
? Strokes on the abdomen and back are designed to help stimulate the deeper flow of lymph forward: Abdominal strokes are performed in a clockwise direction, then up each side to the center of the abdomen; back strokes are performed downward from the neck and shoulders to the mid-back, then are performed from the lumbar area up to the mid-back.
