I often get asked if I offer lymphatic drainage.
While I do not offer stand alone Manual Lymphatic Drainage, properly applied Swedish massage and Reflexology can support healthy lymph flow in a gentle, nervous system friendly way.
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about lymphatic drainage lately, and many of the images and videos don’t reflect how lymphatic drainage was originally taught.
Some techniques shown involve deep pressure, sculpting, or forceful movements meant to push fluid. While those approaches may serve other purposes, they are not lymphatic drainage in the traditional sense.
Lymphatic drainage, as taught by Dr. Emil Vodder, uses slow, rhythmic, light touch designed to support natural lymph flow and nervous system regulation.
If you’re curious to learn what lymphatic drainage truly is, and what it isn’t, I’ve shared more in my latest blog post.
