Benefits of lymphatic drainage
Encourages the flow of lymph and improves circulation
Boosts energy levels and helps soothe anxiety
Can help prevent swollen joints
Why we recommend it
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues just under the skin. It works to protect you from disease, infection, and ill health.
A very gentle lymphatic massage can help your immune system function normally and move waste fluid through your body more efficiently.
What happens during a lymphatic drainage massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is unique in that no oils or lotion are used. Instead, your pro will use a gentle, slow technique that helps open up your lymph nodes and flush out toxins.
After your treatment, you might feel a little bit tired (and you'll probably need to pee!) but that's totally normal. Drinking lots of water afterwards will help you feel even better.
