What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Keeping the body’s cleansing system moving.

Lymphatic drainage massage benefits those with weakened immune systems, active sport and training lifestyles, and anyone recovering from surgery or injury. It’s a targeted technique of long, gentle, rhythmic strokes that improve the transport of fluid and waste through the lymphatic system.

By moving materials back into the blood’s circulation, it helps restore a healthy immune system and lets the right organs flush toxins from the body. This movement of lymph also reduces swelling and aids recovery for injuries and sore muscles. Like blood, lymph is always meant to be moving; when it stops, fluid builds up in the arms or legs, causing the swelling known as lymphedema.

The massage often focuses on decongesting the major lymphatic regions, the neck, legs, arms, underarms, abdomen and lower abdomen.

Benefits Of Lymphatic Drainage

Three people it helps most.

Your therapist begins by consulting on your medical history and lifestyle to shape the right plan for this and any future treatments. The benefits reach three groups in particular.

Low immunity & recovery

Because the lymphatic system underpins the immune system, treatment can give a real immune boost, especially after long periods of illness. It reduces swelling, flushes toxins and relaxes the nervous system.

Post-surgery recovery

Often recommended by doctors before and after surgery, it accelerates healing, softens scar tissue and eases pain and swelling, across both cosmetic procedures and sports-related operations, restoring range of motion sooner.

Sport & active training

Overworked or injured muscles build up fluid and swelling. Moving that stagnant fluid through the body speeds recovery from sprains, contusions and tendonitis, while improving performance and helping prevent injury.
