What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is a specialised treatment that uses light, rhythmic techniques to encourage the movement of lymph fluid around the body. The lymphatic system plays an important role in removing waste, supporting immune function, and helping to manage fluid balance.
When lymph flow becomes sluggish, it can contribute to swelling, heaviness, puffiness, and discomfort. Lymphatic drainage is designed to support this process naturally and gently.
Unlike deep tissue or sports massage, lymphatic drainage uses very light pressure and focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system rather than working deeply into the muscles.

- Helps relieve feelings of heaviness and puffiness
- Supports circulation and tissue health
- Promotes relaxation and overall wellbeing

What to Expect
Your session will begin with a consultation to understand your symptoms, medical background, lifestyle, and treatment goals. Your therapist will then use light, rhythmic, and carefully targeted movements to encourage lymph flow and reduce areas of stagnation.
This is a very gentle treatment, and pressure remains light throughout. Many clients find it deeply relaxing as well as physically beneficial.
You may notice increased urination, reduced puffiness, or a lighter feeling after treatment, although results can vary depending on the individual and the reason for treatment.
Lymphatic Drainage vs Deep Tissue Massage
While both treatments can support recovery and wellbeing, lymphatic drainage is very different from deep tissue massage.
Lymphatic drainage uses light, rhythmic techniques to encourage lymph flow and reduce swelling, whereas deep tissue massage focuses on deeper muscle layers to relieve chronic tension and muscular restriction.
If you are unsure which treatment is most suitable for your needs, we can advise during your consultation.
