Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Gentle | Rhythmic | Detoxifying
This is a specialised form of massage that aims to promote the circulation of lymphatic fluid around the body. This fluid is a vital part of your immune system and also carries waste from the body to your spleen and liver for cleansing.
Promoting lymphatic drainage can help to boost the immune system, help in detoxifying the body and reduce swelling caused by fluid retention.
It is a very gentle treatment with each movement and technique used designed to encourage the lymphatic fluid to flow. Your therapist will carry out a bespoke treatment tailored to your specific needs.

Benefits of a Lymphatic Drainage massage:
Lymphatic fluid plays an important function in the body’s immune system and this type of massage can improve the flow of lymph and help to boost the immune system
Lymphoedema can cause pain and discomfort in the affected area and draining the excess fluid can help to relieve this
It can help to remove toxins from the affected area
There is some evidence that suggests it can help in dispersing cellulite by increasing the flow of accumulated waste in the tissue affected
