Understanding Lymphatic Drainage Massage
The lymphatic system carries fluid from tissues back to the bloodstream. Its smallest vessels lie just under the skin, which is why lymphatic massage uses very light, skin-stretching pressure.
How a session works
The therapist first clears lymph node areas near the neck, then works on more distant areas, always moving fluid towards the nodes.
When not to treat
- Acute infection or fever
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Heart or kidney failure
- Untreated cancer
