Best Lymphatic Drainage Massages near me in Marcignago, Milan

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, specialised massage technique that uses light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging the movement of lymph fluid through the body. It supports detoxification, reduces fluid retention, and boosts immune function.

Lymphatic vessels can become impaired or blocked after surgery, an injury that has caused swelling, disease (such as cancer) or an infection; if you’ve experienced any of these, you could benefit from a lymphatic drainage massage which will help get the fluids moving and working properly again. If in doubt, consult your doctor – they’ll be best able to advise you whether or not to have this kind of massage.

Lymph is a naturally occuring body fluid that removes waste and toxins from your internal tissues; it moves around the body in lymph vessels, passing through lymph nodes which filter out damaged cells and destroys harmful substances. When the nodes become blocked, a lymphatic drainage massage is used to get the fluid moving again. This type of massage can help reduce water retention and bloating, but it’s also frequently used in cancer treatments because it can help filter out cancerous cells. If you go for a lymphatic drainage massage don’t expect any deep tissue stimulation; lymph sits close to the skin’s surface, which means the masseuse only needs to use light pressure to encourage lymph flow. 1

If you’re booking in with an experienced lymphatic drainage therapist, you should expect to pay between €35 and €100 for your massage.

Everyone is different, but some of the effects you might experience after a lymphatic drainage massage include relaxation, a boosted immune system, increased energy and thirst, reduced swelling and bloating, and a need to urinate. If you’ve been suffering with a virus, you may experience flu-like symptoms as the lymph works harder to remove it from your body.

If you are suffering with acute inflammation, malignant tumours, thrombosis or heart problems, it might be best to avoid a lymphatic drainage massage. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
