What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
If you have been searching for lymphatic drainage massage near me, you may be wondering how it differs from a traditional massage.
Manual lymphatic drainage, often called MLD, uses gentle and rhythmic techniques designed to support the natural movement of lymphatic fluid.
Unlike deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage generally uses much lighter pressure.
Who May Benefit From Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Clients seek lymphatic drainage for many different reasons, including:
- Swelling or a heavy, puffy feeling
- Post-surgical recovery support
- Lipo 360 recovery
- Tummy tuck recovery
- BBL recovery
- Breast or facial procedures
- General wellness and relaxation
For post-surgical clients, massage should begin only when appropriate and after following the guidance of the treating medical provider.
What Does a Session Feel Like?
Many first-time clients expect lymphatic drainage to feel like deep massage.
It is actually quite different.
The movements are typically gentle, controlled and directed along lymphatic pathways. The goal is not to force the tissue with heavy pressure.
Your session can also be adjusted according to the areas that need attention and your stage of recovery.
Lymphatic Drainage vs. Regular Massage
Traditional massage often focuses on muscles, tension and relaxation.
Lymphatic drainage massage focuses on gentle lymphatic movement and swelling management.
Some clients may benefit from combining massage and lymphatic drainage during the same visit depending on their individual needs.
