What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a very gentle, light-touch technique that supports your lymphatic system—the network involved in managing excess fluid (oedema) and swelling in the tissues. Unlike deep tissue massage, it uses feather-light, rhythmic strokes rather than firm pressure. The aim is to encourage fluid movement and comfort, so puffiness and heaviness can settle—leaving you feeling lighter, calmer and more at ease.
How It Works
-
Brief check-in: We listen to your concerns and ask about swelling patterns, day-to-day habits, and relevant medical history to confirm what’s appropriate and comfortable for you.
-
Light-touch lymphatic techniques: Gentle, sweeping movements follow lymph pathways. Many clients are surprised by how subtle it feels—yet how much lighter they feel afterwards.
-
REVIVE pneumatic compression (included): After your hands-on treatment, you’ll relax in compression boots or sleeves for an additional 15 minutes. Wave-like pressure supports circulation and can help settle remaining heaviness.
-
Simple aftercare tips: We’ll share practical advice (gentle movement and positioning) to help you keep the benefits going.
Enhanced Recovery with REVIVE Compression
To maximise comfort and results, every Lymphatic Drainage Massage includes an additional 15 minutes of REVIVE pneumatic compression. This clinical-grade approach is widely used in rehabilitation settings to support swelling management and comfort. You can simply rest while the device delivers gentle, calibrated pressure cycles—set to your comfort and monitored by our team—so you leave feeling lighter and more at ease.
Ideal For Whom
Lymphatic Drainage Massage can be helpful for a wide range of people—especially if you’re dealing with swelling, puffiness, or a heavy feeling in the limbs. It may be suitable for:
Post-surgery or injury recovery
Supports comfort by helping manage swelling as you recover (timing matters, and we’ll advise what’s appropriate).
Lymphoedema management
A gentle option to support your ongoing care plan. We tailor carefully and may ask you to check with your clinician where appropriate.
Work-related or lifestyle swelling
Long days at a desk, long flights, driving, or standing for hours—ideal when legs feel heavy and puffy.
Pregnancy-related water retention
A gentle option for tired, swollen legs and ankles (please check with your midwife/doctor first).
General wellness and immune support
If you feel puffy, heavy or run-down and want a calm, restorative reset in a clinical setting.
