What is Lymphatic Drainage Therapy?
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, encouraging the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. The therapy aims to eliminate toxins, reduce fluid retention, and enhance immune function by promoting better circulation and lymphatic flow.

The frequency of lymphatic drainage therapy depends on your specific needs and goals. For general wellness, a session once a week or bi-weekly may be sufficient. For more specific concerns, such as post-surgery recovery or chronic swelling, more frequent treatments may be recommended.
Lymphatic drainage therapy should not be painful. The technique involves gentle pressure and rhythmic movements. You may experience a feeling of relaxation, lightness, or slight discomfort if there is significant swelling or blockage, but it should not be painful.
A typical lymphatic drainage therapy session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the specific needs of the individual.
