During the 50-minute session you'll experience gentle, rhythmic strokes directed toward lymph nodes and drainage pathways. Therapists use light pressure, focusing on affected areas while ensuring comfort. Expect a relaxing treatment with brief intake, personalized adjustments, and post-care hydration advice.

Many clients benefit after surgery, but always consult your surgeon first. We follow medical clearance and adapt techniques to recovery stage. Our therapists use gentle, specialized methods to reduce swelling while avoiding areas or conditions contraindicated during initial healing.

Frequency depends on goals and condition severity. Many clients schedule one to three sessions weekly initially to reduce swelling, then transition to biweekly or monthly maintenance. Your therapist will recommend a tailored plan based on response and medical history.

Side effects are typically mild and temporary: increased urination, slight fatigue, light-headedness or mild bruising. These indicate lymphatic activity or circulation changes. Stay hydrated and rest; contact us if symptoms persist or intensify beyond a day or two.

Prepare by drinking water, wearing loose clothing, and avoiding heavy meals before your appointment. Remove jewelry and share medical history, medications, or recent procedures so therapists can tailor the session safely and effectively.

Manual lymphatic massage can significantly reduce chronic swelling and improve comfort for many with lymphedema, but results vary. It is most effective as part of a comprehensive, ongoing plan with certified therapists, compression garments, and medical oversight for long-term management.
