A lymphatic drainage massage is a special procedure that helps to remove excess fluid. Your therapist will use specialised techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system plays an important role in the body as it is linked to the immune system, also transporting fat and helping to drain fluid.
Why book a lymphatic drainage massage?
When you book a lymphatic drainage massage, it’s important to know that it improves wellbeing by being both remedial and preventative. Not only is it relaxing but it boosts healing and helps reduce swelling, relieving fluid congestion, such as that experienced with lymphedema.
Your therapist will be specifically trained on how to perform lymphatic drainage. If you wish, they can show you how to perform a simple form of lymphatic drainage at home between sessions. This helps to control swelling and when used long-term, helps ensure correct functioning of the lymphatic system.
What to expect with your lymphatic drainage massage
A lymphatic drainage massage consists of a variety of techniques with each movement stimulating the lymphatic system.
Sometimes therapists may ask if you would like to include breathing exercises as part of your treatment.
Clients who have had surgery such as tummy tucks and body contouring are frequently advised to have a lymphatic drainage massage after the procedure as a way of controlling swelling. But this type of massage is recommended for anyone who wants to reduce fluid build-up in the body.
During the massage, your therapist will gently manipulate the body’s lymph nodes, encouraging them to drain effectively.
