Why Your Body and Mind Will Thank You Later
What Are the Biggest Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage?
Your cells rely on lymph fluid to prevent illness and safely transport waste products throughout your body. If lymph fluid gets congested (like your nose), your immune system and health could be in jeopardy. A lymphatic drainage massage can:
Ease Lymphedema Symptoms
Filled with white blood cells, stuck lymph fluid causes lymphedema, or swelling, in the arms and legs. Are your rings too tight? This could be a sign of excess fluid that needs to be addressed.
Heal Post-Surgery or Illness
Lymphatic vessels need to be massaged if they become clogged following surgery, infection, trauma, or cancer. Let your massage therapist know what conditions you’ve experienced.
Address Harmful Health Issues
If you or someone in your family struggles with arthritis, fibromyalgia, or issues with the veins in your legs, a lymphatic drainage massage can help get things moving for improved circulation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Check out the answers to some of our most common questions about lymphatic drainage massage therapy in Colorado Springs, CO:
What is lymphatic massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle and rhythmic technique designed to encourage the natural flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. By using light pressure and specific strokes, our massage therapists always aim to help your body in ways you never thought possible, like giving you back the power to do what you love and feel good about yourself.
What is the lymphatic system?
Think of your lymphatic system as your body’s garbage disposal, which can break down and filter out unwanted waste or harmful substances and bacteria. It protects the body from infection and disease and consists of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymphocytes, and lymph. Lymph is the interstitial fluid that flows through the vessels. A healthy, active lymphatic system uses the natural movements of the body’s smooth muscle to achieve this.
How does the lymphatic system work?
Your body propels lymph through your system through normal everyday activity. Inactivity and recent bodily changes may be compromising your immune system. Incidentally, surgery or other damage causes fluids to build up in your lymph system and your lymph nodes, a condition known as lymphedema.
Why get a lymphatic massage in Colorado Springs?
A gentle massage technique is used to manually encourage the natural drainage of the lymph. Lymph drainage carries waste away from the tissues and towards the heart by using light, rhythmic hand movements. This specialized lymphatic medical massage will yield positive effects after recent surgeries, certain autoimmune diseases, and cosmetic procedures. Dry brushing can be used in combination with lymph drainage massage at no extra charge.
Importantly, this procedure typically requires several visits in early succession and later tapering off as the positive effects begin to take place. Regular maintenance with lymphatic massages will also help prevent any new lymph buildup.
How long after surgery should I wait before receiving a lymphatic massage in Colorado Springs?
Following your doctor’s recommendations, as early as two to three days post-surgery might be medically necessary. We do, however, request that you be able to lie flat on the massage table for the entirety of your massage. The inability to do so may result in a canceled appointment. (If you’re ever hesitant or have questions about your upcoming session, please don’t hesitate to call us at either of our Colorado Springs locations.)
Do you have tips for a post-surgery lymphatic massage in Colorado Springs?
Here are some things we always discuss with our clients:
- This is a light-pressured massage; deep tissue massage is not advisable post-op and will have less effect on the lymphatic system.
- Drink water before and after your lymphatic massage. (Also, prepare for extra trips to the restroom!)
- All sales, including packages, are non-refundable, and our cancellation policy strictly applies.
- This treatment does not include incision drainage or puncturing, as these are outside the scope of our practice as massage therapists.
Who can perform a lymphatic medical massage?
This specialized technique is an addition to the standard massage school requisites. We have several therapists on staff who can perform this lymphatic medical massage procedure. Always feel free to give us a call if you have questions. When booking online, please select lymphatic drainage massage specifically so our system can align you with the proper therapist.
What conditions does lymphatic massage help to treat?
Lymphatic drainage massage has received some mainstream notoriety in recent years, thanks to apps like TikTok, with users showing their glowing skin and detoxed bodies in numerous videos. Besides helping you look good, lymphatic massage helps with a number of other health conditions, alleviating symptoms that can disrupt your life in a number of ways from:
- Oncology
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
