Manual Lymphatic Drainage

The session uses light, rhythmic hand movements designed to support fluid movement and reduce congestion in the tissues. It is not a deep-tissue massage; most people experience it as soft, quiet, and relaxing, with very little pressure. The aim is to stimulate without strain, while respecting the condition of the area being treated. Typically, there is little or no oil involved. Depending on the practice and the area treated, you may remain in comfortable clothing or uncover only the relevant part of the body. In Switzerland, sessions often last between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the area and the treatment goal. A short consultation before starting helps adapt the work if you are recovering from surgery or have increased sensitivity. This approach is not suitable for acute infection, untreated thrombosis, severe heart conditions, or fever. If swelling has no clear cause, medical assessment should come first. It is especially relevant for people dealing with fluid retention, post-operative swelling, or anyone looking for an extremely gentle treatment for delicate areas.
