Editorial policy

We write about a technique people apply to their own bodies. These are the rules by which we decide what Rinpa publishes, and how we check it.

Where every claim comes from

• The technique (which nodes, in what order, in which direction, how much pressure, how many times) comes from public clinical leaflets: those of NHS lymphoedema services, the British Lymphology Society and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. They are listed in our methodology.
• Effects come from published reviews and studies, linked. If there is no evidence of an effect in healthy people, we say so, even when others promise it.
• The numbers that are ours (the 4-second cycle, 4-6-2 breathing, the length of the routines) are product decisions, not clinical guidance, and we say so where they appear.
• Every claim carries its numbered source next to it. If we cannot find a source, the claim is not published.

What we never say

That lymphatic drainage makes you lose weight, removes cellulite, “flushes toxins”, boosts immunity or cures any condition. When we mention these, it is to explain, with a source, why they are not true.

How we use artificial intelligence

• The videos and photos of the guides are AI-generated. Each clip is checked against the move in its leaflet (direction, range, and whether the hand glides or stretches the skin) before it is published, and we say so next to the video.
• The texts are drafted with the help of AI, and José Antonio Neto checks each one against its sources before it is published. No text goes out without that check, and no pages are mass-generated.

Clinical review

Our content has not been clinically reviewed yet, and every guide says so. When a physiotherapist or nurse trained in lymphoedema reviews a page, their name, registration and the date will appear on it. Until then we do not publish guides on lymphedema, lipedema, pregnancy or recovery after surgery.

Dates

The date on each page is that of its last content review: when we change what it says or check its sources again. We do not move it for design changes.

Independence

Rinpa is paid for by its guided version. It has no advertising, affiliate links or sponsored content, and we do not recommend products in exchange for anything.

If you find a mistake

Write to us at hello@utropia.es with the page and what you think is wrong. We check it against the sources; if you are right, we correct it, update the page’s date and, if the mistake mattered, say so on the page.
