🌀 Dr. Perry Nickelston’s “Big 6” Lymphatic Massage Routine

Dr. Perry Nickelston, a chiropractic physician specializing in functional movement and rehabilitation, developed the “Big 6” lymphatic massage technique to support lymphatic drainage and overall health. This routine targets six major lymph node clusters to enhance lymph flow and assist the body’s natural detoxification processes.

🔑 The Big 6 Target Areas:

• 👤 Above & Below the Clavicle (Collarbone)

  Gently massage just above and below each collarbone to stimulate lymph flow into the subclavian veins.

  
  

• 😶 Jawline

  Massage along the jawline to activate lymph nodes, helping reduce facial puffiness and promote drainage.

  
  

• ❤️ Chest

  Apply light pressure to the center of the chest to engage lymph nodes and encourage fluid movement.

  
  

• 🌿 Abdomen

  Use circular, gentle strokes over the abdomen to stimulate the many lymph nodes in this area, supporting digestion and detox.

  
  

• 🦵 Groin (Hip Crease)

  Massage the groin area at the hip crease to engage nodes responsible for lower body drainage.

  
  

• 🦶 Behind the Knee

  Gently press and massage behind the knees to support lymph flow from the lower legs.

✅ Why Practice the Big 6?

• Reduce swelling and inflammation
