Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle, therapeutic treatment aimed at enhancing the natural flow of your lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in the body’s waste removal and immune functions. Using soft, rhythmic strokes and light pressure, this massage encourages lymph fluid movement to help detoxify the body, reduce swelling, and boost immune health. Unlike deep tissue massages, which focus on muscle manipulation, lymphatic drainage massage is centered around detoxification, making it ideal for post-surgery recovery, detox programs, or those experiencing fluid retention and sluggish circulation.

PROCEDURE INFO AT A GLANCE

Consultation & Preparation
  • Initial Assessment: Before the massage, your therapist will review your medical history and specific goals (e.g., swelling, fatigue) to customize the treatment.
  • Comfortable Attire: Wear loose, breathable clothing as the massage is performed on the skin or light fabric.
  • Hydration Reminder: Drink plenty of water before the session to support the detoxification process.
Positioning
  • Relax & Unwind: Lie on the massage table, typically starting on your back. Your therapist will ensure you’re comfortable.
  • Warm-Up: Some therapists apply gentle strokes and oils to enhance relaxation.
Lymphatic Drainage Techniques

  • Fluid Movement: The strokes follow the body’s natural lymph flow toward drainage points (neck, armpits, groin).
  • Pressure & Speed: Gentle pressure is used, with slow and steady strokes to facilitate lymph fluid movement, not muscle manipulation.
Focused Areas

Cool-Down & Recovery

  • Post-Treatment Care: Hydrate and follow any post-treatment advice provided by your therapist.
Post-Treatment Considerations
  • Hydration: Drink water to flush out the toxins released during the massage.
