Lymphatic Drainage Massage works with the lymphatic system which lies right below the skin and is associated with removal of fluid and waste products from the body’s tissue and is a key component of the immune system. It is great for detoxification or reduction in swelling, such as pregnancy related swelling in the hands or feet, or swelling following

injury or surgery. It is particularly useful in aiding recovery after liposuction and gender re-affirming surgeries.

Lymphatic drainage is a slow process that uses a light touch.  If you wish for full-body lymphatic drainage, we suggest 2  x 90  minute and 1 x 60 min sessions.

Boosting the immune system will usually require 6 weekly sessions

One-hour appointments are generally suitable for post-liposuction clients,  unless the work has been extensive or there is a great deal of fibrosis. We also use cupping therapy to address fibrosis.  After liposuction or other surgery, it is recommended that clients receive lymphatic drainage massage once a week, usually for 5 to 10 sessions. Please note that lymphatic drainage is unlikely to hurt, even after surgery. In fact, most of our clients tell us that it feels good. Using deep tissue massage and cupping,  we are also able to break down scar tissue that appears during the healing process and can often remedy any lumpiness that occurs during this time. Once the swelling is down, some clients like to receive smoothing massages which are more akin to Swedish or Deep Tissue massage.
