Who it’s for
- Clients with swelling, puffiness or fluid retention
- Travelers with heavy legs and ankles after a flight or long drive
- People managing inflammation, fibromyalgia or lymphedema (with their provider’s OK)
- Anyone who wants a deeply calming, gentle treatment
What to expect
Lymphatic drainage feels very different from a traditional massage. The pressure is intentionally light, because the lymphatic system sits just under the skin. Your therapist uses slow, repetitive strokes and gentle skin stretching in a specific sequence that moves fluid toward the lymph nodes.
Most clients find it extremely relaxing. Drink plenty of water afterward.
