Travel distance, evening hours, and weekend bookings add 10 to 20 to the base rate. Combining lymphatic drainage with another technique like myofascial release raises the price. Specialized post-mastectomy or post-liposuction training also increases the quote, since the work requires extra care.
Most clients book lymphatic drainage after cosmetic surgery, lipedema flares, or long flights that cause ankle swelling. It also supports people with chronic sinus congestion or post-mastectomy arm heaviness. Ask the therapist for case examples before booking if your condition is complex. Honest providers will explain limits.
Most people feel lighter and notice 1 to 2 cm less swelling in the treated limb for 24 to 48 hours. Mild fatigue or increased urination is normal as fluid shifts. Measure the same spot on the limb at the same time of day to track real progress rather than guessing. Redness means call your therapist.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ask where the therapist studied and how many hours of lymphatic drainage training they completed. A complete course usually runs 30 to 60 hours. Verify they hold a license in massage therapy or physiotherapy. Avoid people who learned only through short weekend workshops without a certificate.
