Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that stimulates lymph flow. It reduces fluid accumulation, strengthens the immune system, and relieves swelling. Especially after operations, injuries, or with chronic conditions, it relieves the tissue, supports detoxification, and provides relaxation.
When is this treatment used?
- Swelling and feelings of tension
- Pain and movement restrictions due to fluid accumulation (edema)
- Chronic inflammation or weakened immune system
- Vein problems or heavy legs
How symptoms are relieved
Lymphatic drainage works by gently activating the lymphatic system and improving fluid drainage. Sometimes lymph fluid accumulates in the tissue and swelling occurs – for example in arms or legs. This often happens after operations or injuries when lymph vessels are damaged or interrupted.
Normally, the lymphatic system transports fluid, proteins, and waste products back into the blood. When this drainage is disturbed, fluid collects in the tissue and feelings of tension or pressure occur. Through lymphatic drainage, the fluid is specifically moved forward and can drain better. The tissue is relieved, swelling decreases, and the body feels noticeably lighter.
If you are unsure which type of therapy is right for you, simply book a classical massage and we will create a treatment plan together during your first appointment.
