Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during this session?

During a lymphatic drainage massage, your therapist uses light, rhythmic movements to gently guide fluid toward your lymph nodes. Key areas like your neck, armpits, and legs may be targeted to reduce swelling and boost circulation.

The session is relaxing, non-invasive, and tailored to your needs, leaving you feeling lighter, refreshed, and more balanced. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, and you may notice results immediately or over the following days.

Lymphatic drainage massage is beneficial for a range of health and wellness concerns, including:

Swelling and Fluid Retention: Helps reduce puffiness in areas like legs, arms, or face.

Lymphedema: Common after surgeries like breast cancer treatments.

Chronic Conditions: Eases symptoms of fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and lipedema.

Injury Recovery: Speeds up healing by reducing inflammation.

Post-Surgery Care: Supports recovery by reducing swelling and fluid buildup.

The lymphatic system consists of a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that transport lymph fluid throughout the body. Lymph contains white blood cells that help fight infection and remove waste. When your lymphatic system becomes sluggish—due to factors like stress, lack of movement, or illness—fluid builds up in your tissues, causing swelling and discomfort.

Lymphatic drainage massage uses light, rhythmic pressure to manually guide this fluid toward functioning lymph nodes, where the lymph can be filtered and toxins are removed. By improving the movement of lymph, the massage helps reduce fluid retention, decrease swelling, and support the body’s natural detox processes.

The gentle pressure helps to:

Stimulate Lymph Flow: Encourage the movement of lymph fluid through the lymphatic vessels.

Enhance Circulation: Increase blood flow in the treated areas, aiding in oxygen and nutrient delivery.

Support Detoxification: Facilitate the removal of waste and toxins from the body.
