Introduction
Not all massage treatments are the same.
Lymphatic therapy is a highly specialised treatment that requires advanced training and understanding.
Key differences
1. Technique
Lymphatic: light, rhythmic, precise
Standard massage: deeper, muscle-focused
2. Purpose
Lymphatic: fluid movement, detoxification, healing
Standard massage: muscle tension relief
3. Pressure
Lymphatic: very gentle
Standard: varies, often firm
Why this matters
Using incorrect pressure can:
Overwhelm the lymphatic system
Increase inflammation
Reduce effectiveness
Who is it suitable for?
Post-surgical clients
Women experiencing bloating or fluid retention
Clients needing gentle, restorative care

Tailored on the day
Based on assessment
Adapted to your body’s needs
