LYMPHATIC MASSAGE

Everything You Need to Know About Lymphatic Massage

While most people can naturally drain fluid from their body through regular movement and exercise, a lymphatic massage can benefit those who have damaged lymph nodes or suffer from certain illnesses. Our experienced professional can perform a lymphatic drainage massage on your stomach, legs, face, and arms to stimulate your lymph system and aid the elimination of fluid and waste from your body. This process can reduce swelling, improve your skin’s appearance, and boost your energy.

Benefits of a Lymphatic Drainage Massage on Your Legs

A lymphatic drainage massage may support weight loss and can provide you with numerous other benefits.

  • Relieve heavy legs and swelling: If your legs feel hard to lift and you notice swelling in areas, a lymphatic massage can improve your circulation and relieve this heaviness. This gentle massage is ideal if you suffer from lymphedema or edema as it can help eliminate excessive fluid making your legs feel lighter and moving them easier. Pregnant women may also benefit from a lymphatic massage.
  • Sculpt your figure: Your lymph system removes fluid and eliminates toxins from your body. You can enhance your body’s waste removal process by having regular massage sessions with our experienced therapist. As a result, you may notice a cellulite reduction, decreased water retention, improved skin tone, and diminished congestion in your legs.
  • Increase energy: As a massage can stimulate your blood and lymph circulation, your body can better remove toxins and harmful pathogens. Therefore, your immune system can function more effectively, and you may have an increase in energy.

What You Can Expect From Us Regarding a Lymphatic Drainage Massage on Your Legs

How You Can Prepare for Your Lymphatic Drainage Leg Massage

Consider our tips to prepare for your appointment and get the most value out of your lymphatic drainage massage.

  • Drink plenty of water: Ensure you are well hydrated before attending your massage appointment. This preparation can make the detoxification process go more smoothly, whereas if you are dehydrated, it may take longer or be less effective.
  • Enjoy a small snack: Try to avoid having a big meal before your massage and instead enjoy a small snack if you require food. Having a full stomach can make you feel uncomfortable during your session. It also makes it more difficult for your abdomen to drain toxins from that area.
  • Wear comfortable clothing: Wear clothing that is easy to remove before your massage and put back on once you’re finished. If you want to keep any clothing on during your session, for example, your top while you have a leg massage, you should ensure that it’s comfortable for lying on the table. Any zips or buttons can distract you from enjoying your gentle massage.

Why You Should Get a Lymphatic Drainage Massage During Pregnancy

Women can experience many changes to their bodies during pregnancy, such as swollen legs and sore muscles. A lymphatic massage can help to relieve some discomfort so you can enjoy your pregnancy.

  • Decrease fluid retention: As your baby grows, the pressure of a growing womb can disrupt the circulation in your legs. This effect can lead to fluid building up in your legs, ankles, and feet. A gentle massage from our therapist can decrease this swelling on your legs.
  • Relieve body pain: Our rhythmic massage focuses on the lymphatic system away from the uterus to ensure your baby’s safety. We apply light pressure for a soothing and relaxing experience that can relieve discomfort and body pain so you can have a better night’s sleep.
  • Take time out for yourself: Whether you’re carrying your first child or onto a consecutive pregnancy, scheduling a regular massage treatment allows you to take time out. There are numerous benefits to having a lymphatic drainage massage, and our skilled therapist will ensure you’re comfortable and can relax during your treatment.
