How Lymphatic Drainage Massages Can Help

Lymphatic massage focuses on supporting the body’s lymphatic system, which plays a key role in fluid balance and immune function. Using very gentle pressure, this massage helps move excess fluid and encourages healthy circulation without working deep into the muscles. This service is especially beneficial for women who:

  • Experience swelling or fluid retention
  • Are recovering from surgery (with medical clearance)
  • Feel heavy, puffy, or bloated in the body
  • Want immune system and circulation support
  • Prefer an extremely gentle, soothing form of bodywork

Because the pressure is so light, lymphatic massage is deeply relaxing and comfortable, making it suitable even for those sensitive to traditional massage techniques.

What a Lymphatic Massage Involves

Each lymphatic massage at Gunnur follows a slow, rhythmic flow designed to support fluid movement. While every session can be personalized, a typical session includes the following steps:

Personalized Intake & Assessment

Your session begins with a brief conversation about areas of swelling or discomfort, recent procedures, and your comfort preferences.

1

Gentle Activation of Key Lymph Node Areas

Light, rhythmic movements are used near major lymph node regions—such as the neck and underarms—to help prepare pathways for fluid movement.

2

Soft, Directional Strokes Along Lymphatic Pathways

Using feather-light pressure, your therapist follows the body’s natural lymph flow, guiding fluid toward functioning lymph nodes.

3

Focused Attention on Areas of Fluid Retention

If certain areas show more swelling or heaviness, repeated soft strokes are applied to encourage drainage and relieve discomfort.

4

Slow, Rhythmic Pace Throughout

The entire session maintains a calm, consistent rhythm that supports relaxation and helps quiet the nervous system.

5

Gentle Finishing Strokes

The massage concludes with soothing movements that allow circulation to settle and leave you feeling calm, light, and refreshed.

6

What to Expect After Your Session

Our lymphatic drainage massages are designed to feel subtle yet effective. Many clients notice both immediate and cumulative benefits over time. After your session, you may experience:

  • Reduced swelling and fluid buildup
  • A lighter, more comfortable feeling in the body
  • Improved circulation and skin vitality
  • Deep relaxation and reduced stress
  • A refreshed, balanced sense of well-being

Staying hydrated and engaging in light movement after your session can help support ongoing lymphatic flow.
