Lymphatic Drainage
​Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized body treatment that encourages the flow of lymph, enhancing the body's natural ability to recover and function optimally. This gentle technique stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting detoxification, improving circulation, and reducing swelling. By aiding in the elimination of metabolic wastes, boosting the immune system, and activating the parasympathetic relaxation response, this treatment helps restore balance and vitality to your body, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
​
We offer both manual lymphatic drainage and a lymphatic drainage suit, providing customized options to effectively drain lymphatic fluid and accelerate the removal of toxins. Whether you choose the hands-on approach of manual drainage or the innovative suit, both methods work to boost your immune system and promote overall wellness.
Lymphatic drainage can help these fluids move up to 10-15 times faster, significantly enhancing detoxification, improving circulation, and reducing swelling.

Signs of a Sluggish
Lymphatic system
A sluggish lymphatic system can significantly impact your overall health, leading to various uncomfortable symptoms. Common signs include persistent swelling, frequent illnesses, fatigue, skin issues, and digestive problems. Recognizing these symptoms early is key to addressing underlying imbalances and improving your body’s ability to detoxify, recover, and maintain optimal wellness.
​
Here are some signs of a sluggish lymphatic system:
​
Fatigue or Low Energy:
Accumulated toxins in the body due to a sluggish lymphatic system can result in chronic tiredness or a general lack of energy.
Skin Issues (Acne, Rashes, Dry Skin):
A sluggish lymphatic system can cause toxins to build up in the body, resulting in skin irritations such as acne, rashes, or dryness.
Bloating or Digestive Problems:
Poor lymphatic flow can interfere with digestion, leading to symptoms like bloating, constipation, or general discomfort.
Cellulite:
A sluggish lymphatic system contributes to the build-up of fat and toxins beneath the skin, which can contribute to the appearance of cellulite.
Headaches or Migraines:
The accumulation of toxins from a sluggish lymphatic system can lead to frequent headaches or migraines.
Pain and Stiffness in Joints or Muscles:
Toxins and waste build-up can cause inflammation, leading to joint stiffness and muscle discomfort.
Swollen Lymph Nodes:
Swelling of the lymph nodes, particularly in the neck, armpits, or groin, can indicate that the lymphatic system is overwhelmed.
Brain Fog or Poor Mental Clarity:
A sluggish lymphatic system may lead to the accumulation of waste products that affect cognitive function, resulting in poor mental clarity.
Weight Gain or Difficulty Losing Weight:
Toxins and excess fluid retention due to poor lymphatic drainage can contribute to weight gain or hinder weight loss efforts.
Mood Swings, Anxiety, or Depression:
The build-up of toxins in the body can contribute to imbalanced hormones, potentially leading to emotional issues like anxiety or depression.
Reduced Flexibility and Range of Motion:
A sluggish lymphatic system may lead to stiffness and decreased flexibility in the muscles and joints, affecting mobility.
Chronic Inflammation:
If the lymphatic system isn't functioning properly, it can contribute to long-term inflammation in various areas of the body.
Low Immune Function or Slow Healing:
A sluggish lymphatic system impairs the body’s natural detox and immune response, leading to slower healing times and increased susceptibility to illness.
Puffy Eyes:
Lack of proper lymphatic drainage can result in fluid retention around the eyes, causing puffiness or dark circles.
Digestive Issues (Constipation, Gas):
Lymphatic congestion can negatively affect the digestive system, causing constipation, bloating, or excessive gas.
Slow Recovery from Exercise or Injury:
A sluggish lymphatic system can impede recovery after physical exertion or injury, delaying the removal of lactic acid and other metabolic wastes.
Swelling or Edema:
A common sign of a sluggish lymphatic system is swelling, particularly in the arms, legs, face, or abdomen, due to poor fluid drainage.
Frequent Illnesses or Infections:
When lymphatic drainage is impaired, it can weaken immune function, leading to frequent illnesses or infections.

Typically, a Lymphatic Drainage session lasts between 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and your specific needs. Our therapists will customize the session to target problem areas and ensure optimal results.
Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage safe?

However, it is not recommended for individuals with certain conditions such as active infections, deep vein thrombosis, or severe heart conditions. Always consult with your doctor before beginning any new treatment.
How often should I get Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
The frequency of Lymphatic Drainage Massage depends on your specific health goals. For general wellness and detoxification, once to twice a week to kick-start then bi-weekly is ideal. If you are dealing with a particular issue such as swelling or post-surgery recovery, more frequent sessions may be beneficial.
What should I expect after a Lymphatic Drainage session?
After a session, you may feel lighter, more relaxed, and energized. Some people experience mild fatigue or increased urination as the body releases toxins. It is important to drink plenty of water after a session to aid in the detoxification process.
Can Lymphatic Drainage Massage help with weight loss?
While Lymphatic Drainage Massage does not directly lead to weight loss, it can help reduce water retention and improve circulation, which may give the appearance of a slimmer body. Additionally, it can help alleviate bloating and promote healthy digestion.
Can Lymphatic Drainage Massage help with cellulite?
Yes, Lymphatic Drainage Massage can help reduce the appearance of cellulite by stimulating lymph flow, which helps eliminate toxins and reduce fluid retention in the affected areas.
What is the difference between manual Lymphatic Drainage and the Lymphatic Drainage suit?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is performed by a therapist using their hands to apply gentle, rhythmic pressure on the skin, targeting lymph nodes and channels. The Lymphatic Drainage suit is a garment designed to stimulate lymphatic flow with gentle, inflatable pressure, enhancing the removal of toxins and improving circulation. Both methods are effective and can be used based on personal preference.
How soon will I see results from Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Results can vary, but many people feel immediate benefits, such as reduced swelling, increased energy, and improved skin tone. For long-term benefits, regular sessions are recommended to maintain the effects and support your body's detoxification processes.
Is there any preparation needed for Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
No special preparation is required. However, it is helpful to drink plenty of water before and after the session to assist the body in flushing out toxins. Avoid heavy meals right before the session for maximum comfort.
Can Lymphatic Drainage Massage help with post-surgery recovery?
Yes, Lymphatic Drainage Massage is commonly used after surgery to reduce swelling, promote healing, and improve circulation. It can be especially beneficial following cosmetic procedures, liposuction, or other surgeries where lymphatic drainage is compromised.
How does the Lymphatic Drainage suit work?
The Lymphatic Drainage suit uses gentle, rhythmic compression to stimulate lymphatic flow. The suit inflates and deflates in a sequential manner, mimicking the manual massage technique, and helps move lymphatic fluid from the extremities towards the center of the body.
How will I feel during a Lymphatic Drainage session?
During the session, most people feel deeply relaxed, and the light pressure used is generally comfortable. The rhythm of the massage can also induce a calming effect. You should not feel pain during the session; if you do, notify your therapist so they can adjust the pressure.
