Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle and non-invasive treatment designed to enhance the flow and function of the lymphatic system.

This vital system plays a key role in various bodily functions, including immune defense, fluid balance, digestion, and the initial stages of injury repair.

We welcome you to experience the benefits of improved lymphatic flow and overall well-being.

What to expect for your first appointment

Although gentle, these treatments can have significant effects.

Treatment duration will depend on your specific needs, but starting with a 30-minute session is generally advised.

If this is your first appointment please book in as an

Initial Lymphatic Drainage Treatment as this allows for a detailed intake to determine what treatment and plan will work best for you. 

Reasons to get a Lymphatic Drainage Treatment

We highly recommend lymphatic drainage treatment for the numerous health benefits. Our treatment plans are always created with your personal goals and our lymphatic expertise to ensure that you are getting the best possible care.

Post Surgical Swelling

An important addition to your post surgical recovery. This treatment can help to manage pain, reduce excessive fluid build up, and support your immune system to reduce the risk of infection.

Fatigue

If you are feeling "run down" or are living with a chronic condition like Long Covid, this treatment can help to reduce the severity of symptoms. Lymphatic drainage is a very restful treatment and many clients report a feeling of being recharged in a way that is similar to a deep meditative practice. A 30 minute treatment can help to restore flow and function to the system.

Stress Reduction

Stress hormones can affect the function of the lymphatic system. Long periods of stress can lead to an overall reduction of flow and a build up of congestion or swelling. The treatment itself is very relaxing and can be utilized as a stress management tool while at the same time working with your body to restore balance.

Immune System Support

Areas of swelling and congestion are areas of poor lymphatic flow and decreased immune response. If you are prone to sickness or surrounded by sick people then a proactive approach to your immune function is recommended. Post surgery or wound care can also benefit from a Lymphatic Drainage treatment.

Autoimmune Conditions

Eczema, arthritis, and IBS are some of the conditions that clients have reported a reduction in symptoms with consistent treatment. The lymphatic system is a major pathway for waste clearance in the body and optimizing function could help with many other autoimmune conditions. If you have any questions about the treatment and if it is right for you please don't hesitate to contact us.

After Breast Cancer Treatment

Reduction in swelling post surgery helps to reduce the pain caused by congestion and allows for a better immune response. For more information about the many ways massage can help after breast cancer surgery please visit our breast health page.

Swelling in the Legs

Time and gravity are mighty forces on the lymphatic system in your legs. Many of us are also overly sedentary which only serves to compound ankle swelling. We work with you to develop a management schedule that can include self care strategies that fit into your life.

Alzheimer's and Parkinson's 

New research has come out in the last couple of years that suggests poor drainage of the meninges in the brain to be linked to the gradual buildup of proteins that cause the increased symptomology of these conditions. While research is still theoretical for human populations, lymphatic drainage could be a proactive and non-invasive early intervention.

Allergies and Digestive Issues

Seasonal allergies, digestive issues or chronic exposure to common allergens can leave you feeling "run down". This treatment can be a proactive approach to managing your immune system function as it is very helpful to balance your lymphatic response. Often times clients will come in for treatment prior to allergy season or if they know that they will be exposed to irritants. If are chronically in contact a maintenance schedule might be the best option.
