What is the Lymphatic Drainage Massage Technique?
Lymphatic drainage massage involves light pressure in gentle, rhythmic movements over the skin. The Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) applies slow, gentle and repetitive strokes towards the natural direction of lymph flow to facilitate its efficient drainage. They apply the correct rhythm and speed, depending on your recovery needs, to stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, which helps you relax.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle manual therapy technique used to stimulate the movement of excess fluid within the body. Also known as MLD or Manual Lymph Drainage, this practise improves the functioning of your lymphatic system while increasing the drainage of lymph fluid, which in turn helps in the removal of excess fluids, pathogens and other waste products.
This massage therapy is recommended to treat conditions associated with fluid retention and lymphatic system dysfunction, like lymphedema, edema, and post-surgical & post-injury swelling.
Our RMTs have undergone extensive training to provide effective lymphatic drainage massage therapy in Brampton. We help reduce swelling and muscle stiffness through this therapeutic massage technique. You can consult our trained professional if you have musculoskeletal pain, fatigue or conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia.

For a lymphatic drainage massage session, people may choose to remove clothes so the therapist can manipulate the areas they need to work on while maintaining their modesty and comfort. The therapist may use linens, sheets and towels to cover you discreetly without interfering with the treatment.
Typically, lymph massage sessions are 15 to 60 minutes long. The frequency of the sessions depends on the severity of your condition or injury/swelling. We may recommend daily sessions to some patients, while others may need the massage every 2 or 3 months.
A lymph massage session is similar to a regular massage. You lie down on a massage table. Our professional identifies the areas on your skin where the lymphatic system is clogged. They perform the massage using specific techniques to unclog the fluid and get it flowing into the circulatory system.
Note: Lymphatic drainage massage may not be the right treatment for everybody. Our therapists first assess your symptoms and medical history to understand if it is appropriate for your condition. We explain the treatment before proceeding to ensure you feel confident and comfortable throughout the sessions.
