What to Expect During a Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is designed to help your lymph system move fluid more efficiently. The lymph system supports immune function and helps remove waste from tissues. Here’s what you can expect:
• Light, rhythmic touch – No deep pressure here. Movements are soft and methodical, guiding fluid toward key lymph nodes. Many people say it feels soothing, almost like a skin-level massage. If anything feels uncomfortable, you should speak up. More pressure does not mean better results with this technique.
• Focus on specific areas – Neck, armpits, abdomen, and limbs are prioritized depending on your needs (especially post-surgery). Sessions are often tailored for swelling, post-surgery recovery, sinus congestion, or general detox support.
• No oils or lotions – Most therapists work without them to maintain proper skin traction.
• Deep relaxation – Many clients feel calm or sleepy during the session. Some people notice subtle gurgling sounds in the abdomen. This is normal and related to fluid movement.
• Aftercare tips – Drink water, move gently, and avoid heavy meals right after.
• Mild effects possible – Temporary fatigue or increased urination are normal signs your system is responding. You may notice less swelling or puffiness and A light, relaxed feeling.
• Session length – Typically 45–60 minutes. Frequency depends on your goals.

Many clients struggle with tension headaches and migraines, but did you know that massage therapy can provide significant relief? By addressing muscle tightness in areas like the neck, shoulders, and scalp with techniques such as deep tissue and trigger point massage, you can:

• Minimize headache episodes and their severity
• Release stubborn muscular tension
• Enhance blood circulation
• Alleviate stress

Hanging out at the pool today since no one is on the schedule. Figured this would be a great way to talk about DEEP TISSUE vs DEEP PRESSURE.
Let’s use the pool as our illustration.

When you get a Swedish Massage you can have light to deep pressure.

Swedish massage is the most common type of massage that uses long, flowing strokes with kneading, tapping, and vibrating movements to relieve surface muscle tension. Its surface work. Much like being in the shallow end of the pool. Surface glides. Shallow dives. LIGHT PRESSURE = top of the water. MEDIUM PRESSURE = midway of the water. DEEP PRESSURE = dunking your head underneath.

DEEP TISSUE refers to a type of massage that targets the inner layers of muscles, tendons, and fascia. It uses firm pressure and slow, deliberate strokes to release chronic muscle tension and break down adhesions or "knots". While it can be intense, it aims to alleviate pain and improve mobility. You start with warming up the area before focusing on a particular area. This is work for chronic pain and issues such as plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder, sciatica, etc.
This is deep end of the pool work. Take the Pec Minor muscle for example. To do the work, you have to go into the armpit area to reach the pec minor muscles. You don’t just jump into the armpit area. You start slow and work layer by layer to reach the pec minor muscle.

Do I do DEEP TISSUE work? Yes but I don’t put it on my schedule because too many clients confuse DEEP PRESSURE AND DEEP TISSUE.

Hope this info helped today. Hope the illustration makes sense.

Thanks for supporting my independent business.
