Therapists trained in the Vodder, Földi, or Casley-Smith method follow mapped pathways. Each session starts near the neck or groin to clear the main ducts first, then works outward. Sessions last 45 to 90 minutes depending on the area. Clients lie on a treatment table and remain clothed in soft fabric.
Swelling and post-surgery cases often need 8 to 12 sessions, twice a week at the start, then weekly. Mild fluid retention may improve in 3 to 5 sessions. Maintenance for chronic conditions is usually 1 session every 2 to 4 weeks. Your therapist should reassess every 4 visits.
Drink 500 ml of water in the 2 hours before the appointment and avoid alcohol the day before. Wear loose cotton clothing. Do not apply lotion or oil on the skin since it blocks the light grip. Have your compression garment ready if you are mid-recovery. Empty your bladder right before treatment.
Lymphatic drainage is a manual therapy that uses very light, rhythmic strokes to move lymph fluid toward working lymph nodes. The pressure is much softer than a Swedish massage, usually around the weight of a 5 cent coin. It targets swelling, post-surgery recovery, and sluggish circulation. It is not a weight loss treatment.
A full body session takes 50 to 75 minutes. For a single area like legs or arms, expect 25 to 40 minutes. The room should be warm, quiet, and have a hydraulic table at proper height. A clean sheet, blanket, and pillow must be provided for every client.
Aggressive pressure causes bruising and tissue damage, so speak up if strokes feel heavy. Skipping water intake after treatment can trigger headaches or nausea. Booking too soon after surgery, such as within 48 hours, raises infection risk. Some clients miss the drainage of neck nodes first, which lowers whole-body results.
Walk away if the therapist refuses to show a certificate, skips the medical history, or offers a flat cure for chronic conditions. Pressure that causes pain, a dirty table, and lack of gloves for wound-area work are serious problems. A real professional always documents measurements before and after each session.
The pressure is lighter than a regular massage. It should feel like a slow stretch of the skin, around 10 to 30 mmHg of force. If the therapist presses hard enough to bend your muscles, the technique is wrong. Speak up if you feel pain or deep tissue work.
Prices rise when the therapist holds advanced certifications, when treatment requires two limbs, or when sessions run 90 minutes instead of 60. Evening or weekend slots cost 15 to 25 percent more. Compression garment fitting adds 20 to 40 if included. Always request a written quote before the first visit.
Drink 500 ml of water in the hour before the appointment. Skip alcohol and heavy meals 2 hours prior. After the session, keep drinking water, walk slowly for 10 to 15 minutes, and avoid tight clothes for 4 hours. Some clients feel mild fatigue or extra trips to the bathroom.
