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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
