Illness or medical treatment can clog your lymphatic system which in turn can cause swelling and water retention. Lymphatic drainage massage can help reduce this build up of excess fluid in the body helping you feel more comfortable.


How does it work?

Lymphatic drainage massage uses light, rhythmic movements to encourage excess fluid to move away from swollen areas and towards healthy lymph vessels and lymph nodes, where it can be naturally processed and removed by the body. This supports fluid balance, reduces discomfort, and helps the body’s natural cleansing systems work more effectively.

At Claygate Clinic we offer 2 types of lymphatic drainage:

*a consultation form will need to be completed before treatment and a £60 deposit will be required before treatment. The remaining fee will be paid after the session. Thank you.*

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is the gentler version of this with all the fabulous functionality, boosting immune health etc but a lot less vigorous and less of an aesthetic element.

MLD is a light touch therapy, it sits within the Massage category as it is hands on, but because you are encouraging the free movement of Lymph that sits towards the surface of the skin, no deep pressure is applied. There's a specific sequence to lymphatic massage, its light pulsing techniques encourage Lymph nodes to drain, like emptying a glass so you can refill it again.
It is rhythmical and soothing.

It is thought that anyone wanting an overall immune boost would benefit, it can be used safely post surgery, cosmetic or otherwise and is often recommended by medical professionals.
Those suffering with water retention (oedema) digestive issues, and swelling could benefit. People explain they feel lighter and more energised after a session.

if you are undergoing medical care, particularly for Cancer treatment this method can be used but will need to be approved by a Consultant

Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage

 

Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage is a unique massage therapy technique that originated in Brazil, where beauty and body care are deeply rooted in culture.  This massage focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, which is crucial for removing toxins, excess fluids and waste from the body.

Unlike traditional lymphatic drainage, the Brazilian method incorporates dynamic, faster movements and contouring techniques making it effective for both detoxification and aesthetic enhancement. This is superb for post operative care, swelling, bloating, and water retention.
