What to Expect
Using light, rhythmic movements, this treatment encourages the natural drainage of lymph fluid, supporting the body’s immune function and promoting overall well-being. It is particularly beneficial for reducing swelling, improving skin health, and relieving feelings of heaviness or bloating. Whether you’re looking to detox, enhance recovery, or simply feel revitalised, our lymphatic drainage therapy offers a soothing and effective way to restore balance.
Before Lymphatic Drainage
- A brief consultation to discuss your health history and goals for the treatment.
- You may be advised to drink water before the session to aid lymph movement.
- Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended, though some sessions may be performed directly on the skin.
During Lymphatic Drainage
- The therapist will use light, rhythmic strokes and gentle pumping movements to stimulate lymph flow.
- The pressure is much lighter than traditional deep tissue massage to avoid compressing lymph vessels.
- Movements will be directed toward lymph nodes, typically in the neck, armpits, and groin areas.
- You may experience a deep sense of relaxation, as the technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system.
After Lymphatic Drainage
- You may feel a sense of lightness and increased energy.
- Mild detox symptoms, such as increased urination or slight fatigue, may occur as the body processes waste.
- It’s common to feel thirstier than usual, so staying hydrated is important.
- The therapist may recommend gentle movement or deep breathing to continue stimulating lymphatic flow.
Proper aftercare is essential to maximise the benefits of a lymphatic drainage massage and support the body’s natural detoxification process. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins and promotes healthy lymph movement. It is also important to avoid alcohol and caffeine, as both can dehydrate the body and slow down the detoxification process. By following these simple aftercare steps, you can enhance the effectiveness of your treatment and support overall well-being.
