Lymphatic Drainage, Through the Lens of a Physical Therapist
Not all lymphatic drainage is the same.
Our approach goes beyond simply following a massage routine.
Each session is individualized based on your body, your goals and what we're seeing and feeling during treatment. Depending on your needs, your provider may incorporate specialized manual techniques and complementary approaches to create a treatment that feels both intentional and restorative.
This is lymphatic work with a deeper understanding of the body behind it.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How often should I get lymphatic drainage?
This depends on your goals. For post-op recovery, sessions may be more frequent. Some clients come in 2-3 times a week until swelling beings to lessen. I typically recommend 2-4 sessions close together when beginning to add lymphatic drainage into your lifestyle. For maintenance, most clients come monthly or bi-weekly.
Is lymphatic drainage good after surgery?
Yes—lymphatic drainage is one of the most recommended treatments for reducing swelling and supporting healing after surgery when done with a trained professional.
Will I see results right away?
Most clients notice a difference after one session, including reduced puffiness and overall feeling lighter. I always recommend client commit to a few sessions close together for optimal results.
