Lymphatic drainage is a type of gentle massage that helps encourage the movement of lymph fluids around the body. The lymphatic system is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system and removing toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials from the body. Unlike the circulatory system, which has the heart to pump blood, the lymphatic system relies on muscle movement and manual techniques to move the fluid for optimum function. We all have a lymphatic system and it is one of the most neglected systems but yet vital for our overall wellness.​
You do not need to have an ‘issue’ to consider introducing regular lymphatic treatments into your wellness routine and conditions listed below are not limited to those who it will benefit but is merely a small percentage of things that regular lymphatic treatments can assist with.
What to expect during a lymphatic drainage massage
​​
A lymphatic drainage massage is a painless, light pressure massage using rhythmic strokes that follow the direction of lymph flow. I use specific techniques to stimulate lymph nodes and encourage the fluid to move towards areas where it can be processed and eliminated. Treatments start from 45 minutes.
