Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic technique that encourages the natural movement of lymph fluids through the body. It best serves individuals experiencing swelling, sluggish circulation, or recovering from surgery or illness.
• A light-pressure massage focused on stimulating the lymphatic system to enhance immune function and fluid balance.
• Supports the body’s detoxification process by helping move lymph—clear fluid that carries waste and toxins—toward lymph nodes.
•Reduces swelling (edema), boosts immune function, and promotes a sense of calm.
• Commonly used post-surgery to reduce inflammation and aid in healing.
• Gentle, repetitive strokes follow the body’s lymphatic pathways and are non-invasive and deeply relaxing.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a highly specialized technique designed to support the body’s lymphatic system—a critical part of immune health and fluid regulation. Using feather-light, rhythmic strokes, this modality encourages the flow of lymph, helping the body clear toxins, reduce swelling, and restore balance. It's especially helpful for people recovering from surgery, managing chronic inflammation, or dealing with bloating or water retention. The subtlety of the technique makes it incredibly soothing, offering both therapeutic and relaxation benefits.
