About LDMt
What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy?
A lymphatic drainage massage is a form of massage therapy that attempts to activate the lymphatic system, a network of capillaries and nodes that assists in the removal of waste products, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. The massage method uses soft, rhythmic strokes in the direction of the lymph flow to enhance lymphatic fluid mobility. Lymphatic drainage massage relieves edema and inflammation, boosts immunological function, and enhances healing after surgery or injury. It is also used as a supplemental therapy to assist control disorders like lymphedema, a persistent swelling condition that can develop after cancer treatment.

How Does Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy Work?
The therapist will use light, soft strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system during the massage, often beginning at the feet and working up the body. To stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid, the therapist will employ a range of strokes, including lengthy gliding strokes, gentle shaking, and vibration.
The massage is usually light and soft, and it should not cause any pain or discomfort. As the therapist works to move the lymphatic fluid, it may give a little sense of pressure or fullness in the region massaged. It is also usual for people to feel relaxed and tranquil afterward, with some reporting a sense of lightness.
