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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A wrong session can increase swelling, cause headaches, leave you dizzy, or raise fatigue for hours. Too much pressure may burst small capillaries and create bruises. If the therapist skips the neck or groin nodes, fluid has nowhere to drain and you may feel heavier than before the session.
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.
For post-surgical recovery, expect 8 to 15 sessions spread over 4 to 6 weeks. Maintenance for lipedema or chronic swelling is often 1 session every 2 weeks. A single one-off session gives a short-term feeling of lightness but rarely fixes the root cause. Your therapist should outline a plan after 3 visits.
