Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Very light, rhythmic strokes that encourage lymph flow and help reduce fluid retention.
Benefits
- Very light, rhythmic strokes, so it is gentle even if you do not like firm pressure.
- Encourages lymph flow and helps reduce fluid retention, so you may feel less heavy or puffy.
- A different kind of treatment from relaxation massage: precise, not about pressure.
What to expect
You will be asked briefly about any injuries, conditions or areas to avoid, then left to undress to your comfort level and lie under a sheet on a heated table. The practitioner works with oil unless the technique calls for something else, checking in on pressure as they go. Drink water afterwards, and expect the area worked to feel looser rather than sore for more than a day.

Frequently asked questions
Does lymphatic drainage help with weight loss?
No. Any change in measurements is fluid, and it returns. It genuinely helps with swelling, heavy legs in summer and post-surgical swelling your surgeon has approved, and it is deeply calming.

Swedish for general tension and stress, and the default if you are unsure. Deep tissue for persistent knots and long-held tension. Thai for stiffness and restricted movement, done clothed on a mat. Lymphatic drainage for fluid retention and heavy legs, not for muscle knots.
