Lymph Drainage Massage Treatment

Lymph drainage is a special type of massage that stimulates the lymph system and helps to remove toxins from the body. By accelerating the movement of lymph fluid, this treatment helps to reduce swelling and edema in the body, as well as supporting the immune system.

Lymph drainage therapy is generally suitable for most adults, but is particularly beneficial for those who have post-surgical edema, chronic pain syndromes such as chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia, and people who want to detoxify. However, people with active infections, heart disease or certain types of cancer should consult their doctor before receiving this treatment.

The frequency of treatment depends on the individual health status and treatment goals. Generally, sessions once or twice a week may be sufficient. Patients with chronic conditions or those experiencing intense edema may need more frequent sessions.

The duration of a lymph drainage session usually ranges from 45 to 60 minutes. However, this may vary depending on the size of the area to be treated and the specific condition to be treated.

Lymph drainage treatment is usually painless as it is a very light and gentle massage technique. The treatment is described as relaxing and soothing, with many patients feeling deep relaxation during the session.

It is important to drink plenty of water after treatment, as this helps the lymphatic system to remove toxins from the body. It is also a good idea to avoid heavy exercise on the day of treatment and rest if possible. A slight feeling of tiredness is normal after the treatment, but this usually goes away soon.
