A lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, enhancing lymph flow to improve circulation. By doing so, it supports the removal of waste and toxins from the body, aiding in detoxification and promoting overall wellness.

Lymphatic drainage massage reduces swelling, boosts immune function, and aids detoxification. It promotes relaxation, supports post-surgery recovery, balances hormones, aids digestion and much more.

The frequency of sessions depends on individual health goals and conditions. Your therapist will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.

Contraindications include: acute infections, thrombosis, severe heart conditions, kidney issues, fever and use of antibiotics (except post-operative). It’s important for your therapist to review your health history thoroughly to ensure the massage is safe and appropriate for you.

In the lead up to your appointment, drink at least 2-4 glasses of water to ensure you are well hydrated. It is best not to arrive with a full stomach. We also require that no laser, botox, or wax treatments be done 48 hours prior to or after the signature treatment.

We require a medical referral for any prenatal treatments from your doctor/midwife but can absolutely treat you throughout most of the pregnancy. After the first trimester and leading up to the week of your delivery date.

During a lymphatic drainage massage, your qualified therapist applies a combination of soft and hard pressure in key areas to unblock the lymphatic flow. This technique is completely painless!

We normally advise having your first treatment 24h-48h after your surgery as it hugely reduces the symptoms of bruises, swelling, stiffness, scars, lumps and soreness that is quite common after post-op. However, we would require your doctor’s clearance. For quickest recovery, come in once or twice a week for three to four weeks (this could vary depending on how your body reacts to the treatment and if you have already developd fibrosis)

After a lymphatic drainage massage, it's beneficial to drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and support hydration. Avoiding heavy meals and alcohol for a few hours can also enhance the massage's effectiveness.
