Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Gentle Support for the Body's Natural Recovery
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle, rhythmic form of bodywork designed to encourage the natural movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Using slow, precise techniques, this specialized treatment supports the body's fluid balance while promoting relaxation and a sense of lightness.
Unlike traditional massage, lymphatic drainage works with the superficial lymphatic system rather than deeper muscular tissues. The result is a calming, restorative experience that many clients seek to support recovery, reduce feelings of heaviness or swelling, and encourage overall wellness.
LDT is especially popular before and after surgery, during periods of physical recovery, or as part of an ongoing wellness routine. Because the lymphatic system responds gradually, maintenance sessions are typically most beneficial every four to six weeks unless your therapist recommends a different treatment schedule based on your individual needs or post-surgical care plan.
