About Lymphatic Drainage
Session Length and Room Setup
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.
What to Do Before and After
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.
What to Ask Before Hiring
Ask where the therapist trained, how many hours of hands-on practice they completed, and if they hold a current license in massage or physiotherapy. Request a copy of their insurance certificate. Confirm they know your specific condition, whether it is post-liposuction, lipedema, or primary lymphedema.
Red Flags to Walk Away
Avoid any provider who promises permanent fat removal, who refuses to share credentials, or who pressures you into prepaid packages of 20 sessions upfront. A proper therapist reassesses at visit 3 and adjusts the plan. Equipment that vibrates or uses suction is not lymphatic drainage, even if marketed as such.
How Many Sessions Work for You
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.
Red Flags When Hiring Someone
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.
Typical Price Ranges
A 60 minute home visit generally costs between 90 and 160 in most urban areas, while clinic sessions run 70 to 130. Post-surgical packages often bundle 10 sessions at a 10 to 15 percent discount. Travel fees of 10 to 30 may apply for home visits beyond a 10 km radius from the therapist base.
Home Visit Practical Details
Therapists need a flat surface about 2 meters long, a quiet room, and access to a sink. Allow 10 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of cleanup either side of the actual session. Pets should be secured. Keep a written log of limb measurements and symptoms to share at every visit for accurate tracking.
Price You Should Expect to Pay
At home, a 60-minute full body session usually costs between 60 and 90 in local currency. A 30-minute targeted session runs 35 to 55. Prices in big cities trend higher, while rural areas trend lower. A first appointment may include a 10 to 15 minute assessment with no extra fee.
What Lymphatic Drainage Is
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.
