Background: lymphocytes are one of the main components of the immune system, reaching an optimum level of lymphocytic count may improve immunity in healthy subjects or fasten recovery from diseases; therefore manual lymphatic draining effects were compared to mechanical lymphatic draining. Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate manual lymphatic drainage versus mechanical lymphatic drainage effects on total lymphocytic count in healthy subjects. Subjects: forty five healthy individuals of both genders were conducted to this study, their ages ranged from 20 to 40 years old Participants were randomly alphabetically chosen and divided into three equal groups each group included 15 subjects. Methods: this study was conducted in Nasser institute hospital outpatient physical therapy department Cairo Egypt; Group A (Experimental Group A): Fifteen participants received mechanical lymphatic drainage Course segmentally. Group B (experimental group B): Fifteen participants received segmental manual lymphatic drainage course. Group c (control group c): Fifteen participants did not receive any treatment approach. lymphocytic count were measured before and after every week through 5 consecutive weeks by medonic cell counter in lab. Results: lymphocytic counts increased gradually from the 0-Day to 1st week through the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th week respectively in manual massage than mechanical massage and both than the control group
