Please Note: For first-time clients, we suggest starting with a shorter session to introduce you to this unique experience. Lymphatic drainage is most effective as a standalone treatment and isn't combined with deep tissue work. While generally gentle, the effects can be more pronounced than a regular massage, potentially causing mild fatigue or lightheadedness. Post-surgery clients should wait 6 weeks and obtain a doctor's note before treatment, ensuring all wounds are healed. Pregnant individuals can safely enjoy this therapy with their healthcare provider's approval, making it a versatile option for various wellness needs.

For best results, we recommend a full-body treatment. Think of your body like a plumbing system—addressing the whole body ensures the most effective cleanse and rejuvenation.

Like all MASAJ offerings your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs. The above is just a guideline on what to expect.

Like a gentle, soothing wave that sweeps through your body, flushing out stagnant places and allowing fresh vitality to flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle technique that helps stimulate the flow of lymph - a fluid that helps remove waste from your body's tissues. Using light, rhythmic strokes, this massage encourages your lymphatic system to work more efficiently, supporting your body's natural detoxification processes and immune function.

  • The main difference is in the touch. Lymphatic drainage uses very light, gentle strokes that feel almost like a soft brushing of the skin. Regular massage typically involves deeper pressure to work on muscles. Lymphatic drainage focuses on the surface layers to stimulate the lymph system, while regular massage targets deeper tissues for muscle relaxation and tension relief.

  • Benefits include reduced swelling, improved immune function, detoxification, reduced water retention, and increased overall wellness.

  • Not at all! Lymphatic drainage is known for being extremely gentle. The pressure used is very light - often described as the weight of a coin on your skin. Most people find it very relaxing and comfortable. If you ever feel any discomfort, always let your therapist know.

  • The frequency depends on your individual needs and goals. For general wellness, once every 2-4 weeks might be enough. If you're addressing specific health concerns or recovering from surgery, your therapist might recommend more frequent sessions, like weekly or even 2-3 times a week initially. Your therapist will help create a plan that's right for you.

  • Many people can benefit from lymphatic drainage, including:

    • Those with swelling or fluid retention issues

    • People recovering from surgery or injury

    • Individuals looking to support their immune system

    • Those seeking relief from stress or fatigue

    • People with skin concerns

    • Athletes looking for faster recovery

    • Anyone interested in supporting their body's natural detox processes

    It's always a good idea to check with your healthcare provider if you have any specific health concerns.

  • Side effects are rare but may include temporary increased urination or mild fatigue as your body processes the released toxins.

  • Most lymphatic drainage sessions last between 60 to 90 minutes. This gives your therapist enough time to work on the whole body or focus on specific areas of concern. Your first session might be a bit longer to include a consultation and explain the process.

  • Lymphatic drainage can be safe during pregnancy, but it's crucial to get approval from your healthcare provider first. If approved, it can help manage pregnancy-related swelling and promote relaxation. Always inform your therapist that you're pregnant, as they'll need to use modified techniques and positions to ensure your comfort and safety.

  • Some people notice immediate effects like reduced puffiness or a feeling of lightness. However, the full benefits often develop over several sessions. While you might see some changes right away, particularly if you have mild swelling, other benefits like improved immune function or overall well-being tend to build up over time with regular sessions. Everyone responds differently, so be patient and consistent for the best results.
