At Healing by Edyta, I offer a 1 hour unique and highly therapeutic experience with my lymphatic massage (lymphatic drainage). It offers many health benefits.
A lymphatic massage is a gentle technique that uses light, rhythmic strokes to encourage the flow of lymph fluid. Our session lasts one hour. It aims to support your body’s natural cleansing process and help reduce puffiness.
It feels very light and slow, not like a deep tissue massage. The lymph vessels sit close to the skin, so gentle pressure works best. Many clients find it deeply calming.
Lymphatic massage may help ease swelling after surgery or injury. Always get your surgeon’s approval first. Cleveland Clinic explains when this massage may help and who should avoid it.
It depends on your goals. Some people book weekly or every two weeks for a short time, then move to monthly visits. Edyta will help you plan a schedule.
Drink water and keep the rest of your day light. You may need the restroom more often after a session. Some people feel tired, which usually passes quickly.
Skip it if you have a fever, an active infection, blood clots, heart failure, or kidney failure. Talk with your doctor first if you have any serious health condition.
Lymphatic massage uses very light pressure to move fluid. Deep tissue massage uses firm pressure to work on knots in deeper muscle layers. They serve different goals.
