Feel Lighter and More Energised
A gentle, rhythmic lymphatic drainage massage supports your body’s natural detox process, reduces swelling, and improves circulation. Ideal after surgery, injury, or periods of stress, it helps you feel lighter, less bloated, and more energised. Many clients notice improved mobility and a renewed sense of balance after treatment.
What to expect from your appointment
Your treatment will be carried out by our experienced Level 5 Sports Massage Therapist, who specialises in Lymphatic Drainage Massage.
Each appointment begins with a short consultation to understand your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals. The massage is then tailored to your specific needs, whether you are recovering from surgery, managing fluid retention, or supporting your immune system.
You will be asked to remove some clothing depending on the area treated, but your comfort and privacy are always respected. Treatment is performed using light, rhythmic strokes on the skin to gently stimulate lymphatic flow. It’s a non-invasive, calming technique that shouldn’t feel painful.
Most clients find it deeply relaxing and leave feeling lighter, less bloated, and more energised. Your therapist may also offer aftercare advice to help maintain results.

FAQs
What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is an advanced therapy in which your Therapist uses a range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels that carry substances vital to the defence of the body as well as help in the removal of waste products.
What are the benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
The benefits of Lymphatic drainage are considerable and are particularly relevant in today’s environment where pollution, stress and deficient immune systems make many people susceptible to contagious disease and viral infections.
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body by regulating the immune system. When the lymphatic system becomes compromised in any way, lymphatic fluid builds up and stagnates causing the entire system to become toxic. Lymphatic Drainage clears blockages, eliminates metabolic wastes and toxins from the body, helps in the transport of nutrients to cells and increases metabolic efficiency, all adding to the reduction of excess fluid and can assist in weight reduction. It also has a very calming effect on the nervous system and helps relieve stress and tension.
What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage good for?
Lymphatic drainage massage is used to treat a wide range of conditions such as:
- Glandular fever, ME (Chronic Fatigue), Migraines, Sinus pain, Hay fever
- Recurring infections (colds, flu, ear, chest).
- Pre and postoperative cases (cosmetic surgery, cancer or where lymph nodes have been removed or the lymphatic system impaired in some way).

- Cellulite and excess weight.
- Constipation and other digestive disorders.
