Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Leicester

Our non-invasive lymphatic drainage massage treatment is a great way to boost your immune system, make you feel more energetic, and significantly reduce inflammation. This treatment is also known as Manual Lymphatic drainage, used to relieve swelling resulting from blockages in your lymphatic system caused by illness or medical treatment.


What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is an advanced therapy in which light, gentle touch moves excess fluid build-up (lymph Fluid) out of the muscles and tissues towards the lymphatic system resulting in reduced swelling. Like blood in the circulatory system, lymphatic fluid is always moving. If it stops, swelling can occur as lymph fluid builds up, often occurring in the arms, hands, legs, and feet. This is known as lymphedema.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment can be used to treat a wide range of conditions such as inflammation, sinuses, pains, migraines or even post-cosmetic surgery and operations.

Lymphoedema & Lipoedema

  • In this condition, lymphatic fluid gathers and collects within the body tissues. This then affects the normal lymphatic flow. The build of lymphatic fluid can particularly affect arms or legs, which in turn can cause swelling, inflammation and pain. Post Cosmetic/ Surgery
    Post Surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage should have a very soothing, relaxing effect to relieve swelling, numbness, bruising and any discomfort. It can also help with the appearance of the treated area.

It can speed up the healing process.

  • It decreases scarring and the build-up of fibrotic nodules (hard lumps)
  • When used for cosmetic surgery I.e. Liposuction is known to be typically recommended to be used within the first five days post-surgery with several recommended treatments depending on the client and the swelling.

Other Benefits of MLD

  • Sense of relaxation
  • Stimulates metabolism – good for a sluggish metabolism.
  • Improves feelings of emotional balance and well-being
  • Often creates an immediate feeling of uplifting instead of drowsiness.
  • Extremely beneficial for arthritis, IBS, and Fibromyalgia
  • Great for Headache and Sinus Congestion

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, therapeutic technique designed to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, a fluid that carries waste products away from tissues and back into the bloodstream. The massage stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps reduce swelling and detoxify the body.

Lymphatic drainage massage helps reduce swelling, promote detoxification, improve immune function, relieve fluid retention, and accelerate recovery after surgery or injury. It is also known to aid with conditions such as lymphedema, chronic fatigue, and sinus congestion.

This massage uses light pressure and rhythmic, gentle strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system. The therapist will target lymph nodes and gently move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow to encourage lymph movement and enhance the body's ability to eliminate toxins and waste.

People suffering from lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, or those recovering from injury may benefit from lymphatic drainage massage. It can also be useful for individuals with chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or those seeking detoxification and immune support.

No, lymphatic drainage massage is typically not painful. It uses very light pressure, as the lymphatic system is located just beneath the skin’s surface. The massage should feel gentle and soothing, without discomfort or pain.

A typical lymphatic drainage massage session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the individual's needs. Longer sessions may be recommended for full-body treatment or post-surgical care.

After a lymphatic drainage massage, you may feel more relaxed, lighter, and experience a reduction in swelling or bloating. It's common to feel the need to urinate more frequently, as the massage encourages the body to eliminate excess fluid. Staying hydrated is important to aid this process.

Side effects are generally rare but may include mild dizziness, fatigue, or increased urination as the body begins to flush out toxins. These are usually short-lived and can be managed by drinking plenty of water and resting after the session.

While it is safe for most people, lymphatic drainage massage may not be suitable for individuals with heart conditions, kidney problems, infections, or active cancer. Always consult with your healthcare provider before booking a session, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions.

The frequency of lymphatic drainage massage depends on individual needs. For general detoxification or maintenance, a monthly session may suffice. For post-surgery recovery or chronic conditions, more frequent treatments, such as weekly or bi-weekly, may be recommended by your therapist or doctor.
