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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
