Lymphatic Drainage Massage
The lymphatic system filters waste and fights infection. When flow is blocked—due to pregnancy, injury, surgery, or aging—fluid can build up, causing swelling, especially in the limbs.
Lymphatic massage uses light, gentle strokes to guide fluid toward the heart, reducing swelling and improving comfort. It's slow, relaxing, and supports the body’s natural drainage process.
Who it’s best for:
-
Individuals recovering from surgery or injury
-
People with swelling (lymphedema, edema)

Those with autoimmune or chronic fatigue conditions
