Lymphatic Drainage

Service Description

What is Lymphatic Drainage? Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that helps encourage the natural movement of lymph, a clear fluid that flows through your lymphatic system. This system is a vital part of your immune system it helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body, and transports white blood cells to fight infection. Imagine your body has its own internal cleaning crew. The lymphatic system is like a network of small tubes (similar to blood vessels) that carry lymph fluid. This fluid collects things your body doesn’t need, like waste products, bacteria, or damaged cells, and moves them toward lymph nodes, which filter and break them down. However, unlike the blood, which is pumped by your heart, lymph doesn’t have a natural pump. It moves slowly, mostly through muscle movement and breathing. If you're not very active, recovering from surgery, or dealing with certain health conditions, this system can get sluggish. What Happens During a Lymphatic Drainage Massage? This type of massage uses light, rhythmic, sweeping strokes in the direction of lymph flow. It's not like a deep-tissue massage, it’s much gentler. The goal is to stimulate the lymphatic system so it works more efficiently. What Are the Benefits? Reduce swelling and water retention (especially after surgery or injury) Boost immune function Detoxify the body Improve circulation Support healing after surgery (like cosmetic or cancer-related procedures) Relieve symptoms of lymphedema Ease tension and promote relaxation Is It for Everyone?
