Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Gentle massage technique to stimulate lymph flow and reduce swelling
About This Treatment
Lymphatic drainage massage uses very gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps remove waste and toxins from body tissues. The light pressure and specific techniques follow the direction of lymph flow toward lymph nodes. This specialized massage is particularly effective for reducing swelling, supporting immune function, and promoting detoxification.

What to Expect
The touch is extremely gentle - much lighter than typical massage. The therapist uses specific rhythmic movements to encourage lymph flow. You may not feel much is happening due to the light pressure, but the effects are significant. Sessions last 45-60 minutes. Drink extra water afterward to support detoxification. Effects may include increased urination and improved energy.
