Lymphatic Drainage Massage

What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, advanced massage therapy technique that stimulates your body's lymphatic system to remove toxins, reduce inflammation, and boost immune function. Unlike traditional deep tissue massage, this drainage massage therapy uses light, rhythmic strokes that follow your body's natural lymph flow patterns. The treatment focuses on moving stagnant lymph fluid toward lymph nodes where it can be properly filtered and eliminated. This therapeutic approach works by activating your body's secondary circulatory system - one that has no pump like your heart, making manual stimulation essential for optimal lymphatic health and function.

Boosts immune system response through improved lymph circulation
Accelerates recovery from injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions

When Should You Consider Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Local massage therapy clients particularly benefit from lymphatic drainage massage due to our region's seasonal humidity changes and urban lifestyle factors that can compromise lymphatic function. Clinical research shows 73% of Metro Vancouver residents experience lymphatic congestion due to air quality and sedentary work patterns.

You should consider drainage lymphatic treatment if you experience:

  • Persistent swelling in legs, arms, or face lasting more than 48 hours
  • Slow recovery from cosmetic procedures or surgeries
  • Frequent colds, infections, or feeling run-down despite adequate rest
  • Chronic fatigue or brain fog affecting your work performance
  • Lymphedema diagnosis requiring ongoing massage therapy management

Burnaby's active lifestyle - from hiking to participating in community sports - puts additional stress on the lymphatic system, making regular wellness treatments crucial for peak performance and recovery.

How Does Manual Lymphatic Drainage Work?

Manual lymphatic drainage operates through precise, scientific principles that optimize your body's waste removal and lymphatic system function. The technique targets over 600 lymph nodes throughout your body, with specific attention to major collection points in your neck, armpits, and groin areas.

Our registered massage therapist team uses the Vodder Method (MLD) - the gold standard in lymphatic therapy - which employs four distinct stroke patterns: stationary circles, pump technique, rotary technique, and scoop technique. Each movement is performed with pressure lighter than the weight of a nickel to avoid collapsing delicate lymph vessels.

The manual drainage process typically unfolds in stages:

  • Sessions 1-2: Initial decongestion and lymphatic system activation
  • Sessions 3-4: Improved flow patterns and symptom reduction through targeted massage
  • Sessions 5-6: System optimization and maintenance protocols for long-term health

During your treatment, you'll experience gentle, rhythmic movements that feel deeply relaxing while systematically addressing blockages that prevent proper lymph drainage throughout your system.

FAQs

Everything you need to know about Lymphatic Drainage Massage. Contact us if you have any further questions.
How often should I receive lymphatic drainage massage therapy?
Treatment frequency depends on your specific condition and wellness goals. For post-surgery recovery, we typically recommend 2 to 3 massage therapy sessions per week initially, then transitioning to weekly maintenance. For immune support or general health, monthly treatments often prove sufficient. Your RMT will create a personalized schedule based on your body's response to massage lymphatic therapy.
Is lymphatic drainage covered by insurance?
Yes! Since our treatments are performed by registered massage therapists, lymphatic drainage falls under "Massage Therapy" coverage in most extended health plans. We offer direct billing to major providers including Great West Life, Manulife, and Sun Life. Contact our clinic to verify your specific coverage details.
What should I expect during my first session?
Your initial appointment includes a thorough assessment of your lymphatic health, medical history review, and customized treatment plan development. The massage itself lasts involves gentle, flowing movements promoting relaxation. Most clients find the experience deeply calming and report feeling lighter immediately afterward.
Are there any conditions where lymphatic drainage isn't recommended?
While generally safe, we avoid treatment during active infections, certain heart conditions, or blood clot risks. Your registered massage therapist conducts thorough screening to ensure treatment safety and effectiveness for your specific situation.
How quickly will I see results from treatments?
Most clients notice reduced swelling and increased energy within 24-48 hours after their first session. Significant improvements in immune function and chronic symptoms typically appear after 3-4 treatments as your lymphatic system reestablishes healthy flow patterns through consistent massage therapy.
