What Is Lymphatic Massage?
Lymphatic massage — also known as manual lymphatic drainage — is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system, which plays a key role in detoxification, immune health, and fluid balance.
Using light, intentional strokes, this therapy helps move stagnant lymph fluid through the body, encouraging the natural elimination of toxins, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is lymphatic massage painful?
A: Not at all. The technique uses very light pressure and slow movements — it should feel relaxing, not intense. Unlike deep tissue massage, the goal is to support fluid movement, not muscle release.
Q: How soon after surgery can I get a session?
A: Depending on your procedure and your doctor’s guidance, sessions can often begin within a few days post-op. Always consult with your surgeon before starting.
Q: How many sessions do I need?
A: This varies based on your condition and goals. For post-surgical care, multiple sessions over several weeks are common. For general wellness or detox, 1–4 sessions per month may be sufficient.
Q: Are there any contraindications?
A: Yes — clients with active infections, unmanaged heart conditions, or blood clots should consult with their physician before receiving lymphatic drainage.
