What is a lymph drainage massage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a technique of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids throughout the body. The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from bodily tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up, so regular lymph massages are a great choice to help manage this issue. Lymph drainage is also being used to minimize the appearance of cellulite by reducing the amount of fluid that presses up against the cross-hatched fibers beneath your skin.

What are the benefits of lymphatic drainage?

• Supports the immune system

• Mobilizes toxins for removal from the body

• Reduces swelling and water retention

• Can promote body and mental relaxation

• Stimulates blood circulation and tissue regeneration

What does lymphatic drainage feel like?

Lymphatic drainage can sometimes leave you feeling very thirsty or tired. You may want to have a lie down, or at the very least, a very undemanding schedule for the rest of the day. We recommend that you give your body time to ease back into activity and to hydrate following your appointment.

How often should you have lymphatic drainage massage?

We recommend having a lymphatic massage between 1 to 2 times a week when administered by a professional.
