what is lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle technique designed to stimulate your lymphatic system, promoting the removal of excess fluid, toxins, and waste products from your body. Unlike deep tissue or muscular massages, this method uses light pressure on the skin to encourage fluid movement and reduce swelling.
This treatment is ideal for:
- Reducing swelling (oedema): Common in areas like the ankles and lower legs due to poor circulation or a sedentary lifestyle.
- Post-surgery recovery: Recommended by surgeons to aid healing and reduce swelling after cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, BBLs, breast surgeries, or face and neck lifts.
- Boosting immunity: Particularly beneficial for individuals with weaker immune systems, as it helps break down bacteria and toxins within the lymph nodes.
