Best Lymphatic Drainage Massages near me in Petersfield

For post-surgical recovery, daily or every-other-day sessions in the first 2–4 weeks are often recommended. For general wellness or fluid retention, 4–6 sessions are a typical starting point. Your therapist will advise based on your specific needs.

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.

Lymphatic drainage reduces puffiness and fluid retention, supports the immune system, speeds recovery after surgery (especially liposuction and cosmetic procedures), helps manage lymphoedema, reduces cellulite appearance, improves skin tone, and promotes deep relaxation.

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
