Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage massage offers a soothing and revitalising experience that enhances the flow of lymphatic fluid and optimizes the function of your lymphatic system—a vital component of your immune health.
This gentle therapy works in harmony with your circulatory system, supporting your body in its natural fight against infections and the elimination of old or abnormal cells, including cancer cells.
During times of illness, surgery, stress, or injury, your lymphatic system may experience added strain, leading to reduced efficiency in transporting lymph fluid back to the heart.
This can result in unwanted fluid build-up and discomfort in various areas of the body, often manifesting as tender or swollen lymph glands.
Lymph Drainage provides you with a serene escape, encouraging your lymphatic vessels to operate smoothly.
By facilitating the easy movement of lymph fluid, this treatment not only alleviates congestion but also promotes overall wellness, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Embrace this gentle approach to nurturing your body and enhancing your immune system’s ability to thrive.
What can Manual Lymphatic Drainage help with:
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE TREATMENT
We will start the healing process from the very first visit.
The initial Lymphatic Drainage Massage treatment includes a thorough consultation and medical history before we start a mini 20-35-minute treatment, which forms part of our hands-on assessment.
All appointments last 60 minutes, and follow-up treatments include 50 minutes of hands-on treatment time.
First visit (or existing client but new to Lymphatic Drainage)
We will begin your first 60-minute session by thoroughly discussing your medical history, lifestyle, and current symptoms/concerns.
This is a great opportunity for you to ask further questions you might have about the process.
For existing Manual Lymphatic Drainage clients, we will review and assess your progress and update your records to ensure the latest information is recorded and that we’re on track to help you.
Physical Assessment
We will ensure that prior to your first Manual Lymphatic Drainage session with us, that your condition is suitable for treatment, and there are no contraindications.
3. Treatment
After either the Initial Consultation or catch-up, we’ll begin with treatment. You will lie face-up on our treatment bench covered with towels).
Only the body area being targeted will be exposed, although it is recommended that you are in your underwear (boxers or bra and pants; socks off).
Your physical therapist will then start treatment by using light, systematic strokes towards key lymph node areas to encourage the drainage of lymph fluid.
Treatment should not hurt, but depending on the condition being treated, mild, bearable discomfort might occur.
The session will finish with some relaxation techniques to further promote your body, reduce stress and inflammation, and promote healing.
4. Aftercare & Follow Up
It is recommended for the majority of cases to have a small course of treatment in order to see proper improvements, and allow the lymphatic system time to adjust. We will chat to you about the best plan of action for your condition or health goals going forward at the end of the first treatment.
We will also ensure you’re fully aware of any potential side-effects that may occur 1-2 days post-treatment, so you know what to expect between treatments; although side-effects are minimum, and most patients report benefits straight away.
