During the massage, you will experience light pressure and flowing strokes across the body. Depending on your needs your therapist may focus on certain areas. If you’d like to request any modifications during the treatment just let your therapist know and they will be able to make adjustments for you.
There are two key types of lymphatic drainage massage, manual lymphatic drainage and simple lymphatic drainage.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a technique carried out by a trained lymphatic drainage massage therapist who uses light hand movements in different sequences in order to increase lymph flow through the body.
