Lymphatic Drainage Massage
60 minutes .......... $107
90 minutes .......... $147
Lymphatic Drainage Massage originated in the 1930s to reduce the effects of lymphedema. It is a specialized type of gentle massage that assists the lymphatic system in maintaining the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, and immunity.
​
During a lymphatic drainage massage session, a specially trained massage therapist uses a series of gliding, compressing, stretching, and cupping motions over the client’s body. The light rhythmic movements, applied without massage oil, stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels – allowing lymph to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes.

As with a full lymphatic drainage massage, a specially-trained massage therapist will use light, rhythmic movements, without massage oil, over the face and scalp to allow movement of fluid build-up in the head.
