Get answers to common questions about Lymphatic drainage massage - 90 Mins.

During this 90-minute session you'll experience slow, rhythmic, light-pressure strokes directed toward major lymph nodes. Expect comfortable positioning and periodic pauses. Some clients notice warmth, tingling, or increased urination as lymph moves; therapists adjust technique to your comfort.

Ideal for clients with mild to moderate swelling, circulatory sluggishness, post-operative recovery with medical approval, or those seeking detox support. Not suitable for uncontrolled infections, deep vein thrombosis, or certain cardiac conditions—consult our therapist or your physician before booking.

Frequency varies by need: acute swelling may require two to three weekly sessions initially, transitioning to weekly or monthly maintenance. Your therapist will recommend a personalized schedule based on results, medical history, and wellness goals to maximize benefits.

Contraindications include active infections, fever, recent blood clots, uncontrolled heart failure, or open wounds. Pregnancy and certain cancers require medical clearance. Always disclose medications and health conditions so we can assess safety and modify or postpone treatment.

The massage is designed to be gentle and typically causes little to no pain. You may feel light pressure, mild stretching, tingling, or temporary tenderness as fluid shifts. Communicate any discomfort so your therapist can adjust technique immediately.

Prepare by hydrating well, avoiding heavy meals, and wearing loose clothing. Arrive a few minutes early to complete health forms and discuss concerns. Afterward, continue to drink water, rest if needed, and perform gentle movement to support lymph flow.
