How Lymphatic Drainage Massage Works
You might wonder: how does such a soft massage produce real results? Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Clearing Phase
Therapists begin by “clearing” major lymph routes near the torso. This creates room for fluid to flow from the limbs. - Gentle Strokes
Using gliding, circular and pumping motions, they guide lymph fluid towards the cleared pathways. - Reabsorption Phase
Fluid enters lymph nodes, where it’s filtered and eventually returned to your bloodstream.
Each session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your needs. At Rejuvenate Spa, our qualified therapists ensure every movement is precise and effective.
Techniques and Styles Explained
Several certified techniques fall under the umbrella of lymphatic drainage massage. While they share a common goal, each style has its own rhythm and hand motions:
- Vodder Technique
Uses sweeping, pumping motions to move fluid. Great for initial clearing. - Foldi Method
Alternates circular hand motions with pauses. Promotes relaxation. - Casley-Smith Approach
Combines gentle pressure with hands and sides of the palms. Focuses on limb areas. - Leduc Technique
Collects fluid in small “pockets” before guiding it onwards.
At Rejuvenate Spa, our therapists are trained in multiple methods. They tailor each session to your body’s response—ensuring comfort and measurable results.
