What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to encourage the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body.
Unlike traditional massage that focuses on muscles, this approach uses light pressure and precise movements to stimulate lymph flow and reduce fluid buildup.
Many clients seeking care at McNamara Massage Therapist choose lymphatic drainage massage to support swelling reduction, circulation, and overall wellness.
How Lymphatic Drainage Massage Sessions Work
Each session begins with a brief discussion of your symptoms, goals, and comfort level.
Lymphatic drainage massage may include:
- Light, rhythmic strokes following lymph pathways
- Gentle pressure designed to stimulate lymph flow
- Focused work on areas prone to fluid retention
- Slow pacing to support relaxation and circulation
This technique is intentionally gentle and should never feel painful or aggressive.
Common Reasons Clients Choose Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is commonly used to support:
- Fluid retention or swelling
- Post-surgical or post-procedure recovery (when approved)
- A feeling of heaviness or sluggishness
- Overall circulation and wellness support
Clients who experience muscle tightness alongside swelling may also benefit from complementary services such as muscle tension relief massage or gentle techniques from myofascial release.
Comfort-Focused, Gentle Care
Your comfort and safety always come first.
Lymphatic drainage massage uses very light pressure and a calm pace. McNamara Massage Therapist adjusts techniques based on your comfort and individual needs.
Sessions are provided in a quiet, professional environment designed to support relaxation and healing.
