Exercise encourages skeletal muscle contractions to provide the primary pumping mechanism for lymphatic and venous drainage (23) and therefore should stimulate the contraction of lymph vessels because these vessels are innervated by the sympathetic nervous system. The lymph vessels parallel the blood vessels and are the overflow storm drain of the body fluids. Reports indicate LLLT increases the rate of lymph vessel pumping, softens fibrous tissue, stimulates growth of new lymph vessels, reduces pain and softens surgical scarring. |
