At Osteophi, we offer manual lymphatic drainage massage as part of our holistic approach to musculoskeletal and general wellbeing.
This gentle therapy is designed to support the natural function of your lymphatic system, which plays a key role in fluid balance, immune response, and detoxification.
Our trained practitioners use light, rhythmic techniques that follow the direction of lymphatic flow—helping to gently encourage the movement of lymph fluid through your body.
What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialised therapy that targets the body’s lymphatic system—a vital part of the immune system. The technique involves slow, light, and rhythmic movements aimed at stimulating the flow of lymph, which helps clear waste and excess fluid from tissues.
Unlike deep tissue massage, this treatment is calming and often used to complement recovery, reduce swelling, and support systemic balance.
