What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

A gentle, rhythmic therapy designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, reduce swelling, and support your body’s natural detox process.

Quick Facts

✓ Reduces swelling and water retention
✓ Boosts immune function and circulation
✓ Helps flush out metabolic waste and toxins
✓ Promotes relaxation and nervous system balance

What Makes Lymphatic Drainage Massage Different

Unlike traditional massage, lymphatic drainage uses light, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph flow without compressing the vessels. The focus is on supporting the body’s detox pathways, reducing inflammation, and improving overall fluid balance. It's especially helpful after surgery, during periods of chronic illness, or any time the lymphatic system needs extra support.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage Is Great For:

✓ Post-surgical swelling or fluid retention
✓ Chronic fatigue or sluggish immune system
✓ Bloating, puffiness, or water retention
✓ Sinus congestion and seasonal allergies
✓ Lymphedema or poor circulation
✓ Inflammation and fibromyalgia
✓ Detox support during lifestyle changes
✓ PMS-related bloating and breast tenderness
✓ Swelling during pregnancy or postpartum
✓ Recovery from illness or injury
✓ General immune and wellness support

Is it safe to get lymphatic drainage massage?

Yes, lymphatic drainage massage is safe for most people and is especially effective when performed by a therapist trained in proper technique. It’s non-invasive and deeply supportive of the body’s natural healing systems. However, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider first if you have heart issues, kidney problems, blood clots, or active infections.

What to Expect During Your Lymphatic Drainage Massage

  1. Check-In & Communication
    Your therapist will review your intake form, ask about your symptoms and goals, and explain how lymphatic massage works before beginning.

  2. Comfortable Positioning
    You'll be comfortably draped and positioned on your back or side, depending on what areas are being treated. Expect a deeply relaxing setup with minimal pressure.

  3. Gentle, Rhythmic Techniques
    Unlike deep tissue or Swedish massage, this modality uses light, sweeping strokes designed to mimic the rhythm of lymph flow and stimulate drainage without pressure or discomfort.

  4. Ongoing Collaboration
    You’ll be encouraged to communicate how you’re feeling throughout the session, especially if you’re feeling sensitive, tender, or need to adjust your position.

  5. No Pain, Just Flow
    This work is intentionally light and slow. The goal isn’t to work deep—it’s to activate your lymph system, reduce swelling, and support healing with minimal strain on your body.

After Your Massage
Drink plenty of water to support lymphatic flow and flush out waste. You may feel tired, thirsty, or need to use the bathroom more than usual—that’s normal. Gentle movement like walking and deep breathing can enhance the effects. If you’re ever unsure, reach out—we’re here for you. (321) 987-0041
