What is lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle massage technique designed to support the movement of lymph fluid around the body.
Using light, rhythmic movements, your therapist will work with you to provide a calming treatment tailored to your individual needs.
It may be suitable for people experiencing certain types of swelling, although suitability depends on the underlying cause and your medical circumstances.
