By re-routing stagnant lymph fluid toward healthy, functioning lymph vessels, this treatment provides substantial physical relief and daily comfort.

Post-Surgery / Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage - From £120

The gold-standard post-surgical care protocol. Following an operation, the body’s lymphatic pathways are temporarily disrupted, leading to seromas, hardened tissue (fibrosis), bruising, and trapped fluid.

We tailor the pressure and staging strictly to your surgeon’s post-op guidelines.

Best suited for recovery from:

Lymphatic Draining Massage FAQs

What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, clinically developed skin-stretching massage technique. Unlike standard deep-tissue massage, which targets muscles, MLD applies ultra-light, rhythmic pressure to stimulate the microscopic lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin’s surface. This encourages the natural, one-way flow of lymph fluid, speeding up the removal of metabolic waste, excess water, and cellular toxins from the body tissues.

Yes, massage can help stimulate lymphatic drainage and promote the removal of waste and toxins from the body.

MLD is clinically proven to reduce post-surgical swelling and bruising, ease the painful, heavy symptoms of chronic lymphoedema and lipoedema, resolve severe digestive bloating, and flush out stagnant water retention. Because the lymphatic system governs the body’s immune response, a dedicated session also serves as a powerful systemic reset for individuals suffering from chronic stress, brain fog, or post-viral fatigue.

Physically, it acts as a manual pump for a system that possesses no central “heart” of its own. By manually opening the primary lymph catchments located in your neck, armpits, abdomen, and groin, the therapist creates a low-pressure vacuum. This pulls trapped, protein-rich fluid out of your congested soft tissues, filters it through your lymph nodes to destroy dead cells and bacteria, and delivers the clean fluid back into your bloodstream to be urinated out naturally.

  • For Post-Surgery Recovery: We recommend 2 to 3 sessions per week for the first two weeks post-op to stay ahead of rapid scar-tissue formation (fibrosis) and seromas, tapering down to once a week for the following month.
  • For General Detox & Bloating: One session every 4 to 6 weeks acts as an optimal biological “service” to keep your immune and digestive systems functioning at peak efficiency.
  • For Lipoedema / Lymphoedema: A maintenance schedule of one 60-minute session every 2 to 4 weeks is standard to keep heavy limb swelling permanently minimised.
