What is lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage (also known as manual lymphatic drainage, or MLD) is a specialized technique that uses rhythmic manual techniques to promote lymph and fluid circulation.
How does it work?
The circular, repetitive motions of the massage will help the body's lymphatic system return stagnant fluids to the systemic circulation. As a result, it boosts recovery, supports detoxification, and promotes relaxation.
What does a typical treatment go?
Over 30 to 90 minutes, your massage practitioner will use a range of relaxing yet effective manual techniques on specific areas of your body. Depending on your goals and needs, they can accommodate your specific instructions as well.
On what parts of your body can you get a lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage can be performed on your face, legs, arms, stomach, neck and shoulders. Working on each area offers specific benefits (e.g., facial lymphatic drainage helps reduce facial puffiness and improve skin).
What are the benefits of lymphatic drainage?
There are numerous health benefits to getting a lymphatic drainage massage. Some of them are:
Detoxification and improved circulation
Reduced fluid retention and pooling
Relaxation of both body and mind
