Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage massage is effective at promoting recovery after surgery or an injury, and reducing swelling caused by lymphoedema. Apart from addressing lymphoedema, lymphatic drainage massage can also provide benefits across:
- Improved joint mobility
- Reduced stiffness
- Detoxification
What Is Involved in a Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Manual lymphatic drainage therapy involves gentle pressure and gradual motions to ease excess lymph away from the congested areas.
Before applying any treatment, we will also discuss your medical history (such as past surgery or pre-existing conditions) to ensure that it is safe to carry out manual lymphatic drainage.
During your session, a trained massage therapist will redirect lymph fluid along your lymphatic system to clear blockages and reduce swelling.
The massage will start around the major lymph node areas at your neck, collarbone, armpits, and abdomen, using slow, light pressure to stimulate lymphatic flow and help the body release built-up fluid and toxins. A lymphatic drainage massage is not painful – many people find it relaxing.
The session can take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the severity and number of areas. After the massage, you will feel rejuvenated, relaxed, and lighter in your body.
