Technique: Manual lymphatic drainage uses gentle, rhythmic movements focused on stimulating lymphatic flow. The techniques include light circular motions, pumping, and stroking movements specifically aimed at moving lymphatic fluid toward the nearest lymph nodes.
Pressure: Unlike many traditional massage techniques that often use deeper pressure, the pressure in lymphatic drainage is very light. Since lymphatic vessels lie just beneath the skin, light pressure is sufficient.
Goal and purpose: Manual lymphatic drainage focuses on reducing swelling and improving lymphatic flow. It is commonly used for lymphedema, post-surgery, and certain medical conditions.
Treatment areas: Manual lymphatic drainage often begins with treating areas where central lymph nodes are located before addressing swollen areas.
Our commitment to manual lymphatic drainage is reflected in the positive reviews from our patients. We are proud of this recognition and constantly strive to promote health and well-being through high-quality treatment and care.

For facial swelling, manual lymphatic drainage is performed with very gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate lymphatic flow. The technique focuses on the lymph nodes around the eyes, cheeks, and jaw to drain excess fluid. This treatment is particularly delicate and should be performed by experienced professionals to protect the sensitive structures of the face.
Manual lymphatic drainage is used for leg swelling to support the lymphatic system, especially when it is impaired by various conditions or circumstances. This is often the case with diseases affecting the venous or lymphatic system, such as venous insufficiency or lymphedema. It is also used after surgeries or injuries to the legs where lymphatic fluid accumulates.
Additionally, it can benefit people with chronic conditions that cause leg swelling by reducing fluid buildup, alleviating discomfort, and lowering the risk of further complications. By improving lymphatic flow, manual lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling, relieve pain, and enhance the functionality of the legs.
During pregnancy, manual lymphatic drainage can be particularly helpful for leg swelling. The treatment uses gentle techniques and ensures safe and comfortable positioning of the expectant mother. Before starting the therapy, a qualified therapist should always conduct an individual assessment to ensure the safety of both mother and child.
For manual lymphatic drainage, you should bring comfortable clothing and relevant medical documents, such as a doctor’s referral or information about your current health condition.
Manual lymphatic drainage is typically prescribed by a doctor when it is necessary as part of a medical treatment. This can be in various situations, such as after surgeries, injuries, for lymphedema, or certain chronic conditions that cause swelling. The doctor assesses the need and issues an appropriate prescription.
The immediate effects of lymphatic drainage are often felt for several hours to a few days. Long-term results generally require regular sessions, as the treatment aims to alleviate symptoms but may not permanently resolve the cause of the swelling. The frequency of sessions is determined by the doctor or therapist based on the condition being treated.
Manual lymphatic drainage is generally safe and has few possible side effects. These can include slight fatigue, thirst, increased urination, and rarely, skin irritation. Serious side effects are extremely rare.
Manual lymphatic drainage should be avoided or used with caution in cases of acute infection, advanced heart failure, active deep vein thrombosis, over infected skin areas or open wounds, and severe kidney failure. In such cases, it is important to consult a doctor or therapist to consider possible contraindications.
Manual lymphatic drainage should normally not be painful. It is a gentle and painless therapy. However, mild discomfort may occur in some cases, especially in sensitive or swollen areas. The discomfort should be minimal and not painful. If pain occurs, it is important to discuss this with the therapist to make adjustments.
