Lymphatic Drainge Massage
A gentle, rhythmic massage designed to support the natural movement of lymphatic fluid through the body.
Unlike a classic massage, which mainly works with muscles and often uses stronger pressure, lymphatic drainage uses much lighter, slower and more repetitive movements. The aim is not to deeply work the muscles, but to encourage the movement of fluid through the lymphatic system.
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM SWEDISH OR THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE?
A standard massage mainly works with muscles and soft tissues and may increase local blood flow. Lymphatic drainage works differently. The lymphatic system carries excess fluid through a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. The movements used during the massage are light and rhythmic because the lymphatic vessels lie close to the surface of the skin.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?
The treatment is usually gentle, slow and relaxing. You may feel light pressure, stretching of the skin and repetitive rhythmic movements. Proper lymphatic drainage should not normally be strongly painful. Some areas may feel more sensitive than others, but pressure can always be adjusted for comfort.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE & BODY SHAPE
Lymphatic drainage does not burn fat and is not a weight-loss treatment.
However, if the body is holding excess fluid, supporting lymphatic drainage may temporarily reduce puffiness or swelling. Because of this, some people notice that certain areas look or feel less heavy or less swollen after treatment.
This is a change in fluid, not body fat.

GOOD TO KNOW
Lymphatic drainage is not suitable in every situation. Please tell me before booking about significant swelling, infection, blood clots, heart problems, recent surgery or other medical conditions. If swelling is unexplained or you have diagnosed lymphoedema, you should seek appropriate medical advice and specialist care.
