Stimulate the lymphatic system and restore balance
Lymphatic massage is a gentle, rhythmic technique that stimulates your lymphatic system—responsible for clearing toxins, reducing inflammation, and supporting immunity. At The Acacia House, we use expert touch and, when needed, advanced tools to move stagnant fluid, reduce swelling, and encourage healing from within. It’s especially beneficial after surgery, during detox, or when dealing with puffiness, lymphedema, or chronic illness. Each treatment is personalized to support your body’s natural rhythm and restore balance.
Lymphatic massage helps with:
- Post-surgical swelling and fluid retention
- Puffiness in the face or body
- TMJ and jaw tension
- Sinus congestion and inflammation
- Stagnant lymph and toxin buildup
- Symptoms of lymphedema and lipedema
- Bloating and poor digestion
- Chronic fatigue and sluggish circulation
- Breast tenderness and congestion
- Inflammation from mold, Lyme, or autoimmune illness
- Recovery from illness or injury
- Prenatal and postnatal swelling and discomfort
How does lymphatic massage work?
Your lymphatic system is like your body’s natural drainage network—it moves fluid, filters waste, and supports the immune system. Unlike your bloodstream, it doesn’t have a pump, so it relies on movement and muscle contractions to flow.
Lymphatic massage uses light, rhythmic strokes to gently stimulate this flow, helping your body clear toxins, reduce swelling, and boost blood circulation. By guiding fluid through lymph pathways, we support your body’s detox process, enhance healing, and restore balance from the inside out.
Your lymphatic massage options
Relaxation massage
This full-body treatment combines calming techniques with gentle lymphatic stimulation to help your body release tension and move fluid more efficiently. It’s ideal if you’re feeling stressed, inflamed, or simply want to support your overall wellness. Each session uses slow, intentional strokes to ease your nervous system and encourage detox—leaving you feeling relaxed.
Facial lymphatic massage
This treatment targets facial puffiness, tension, and TMJ pain using precise lymphatic drainage techniques. It includes buccal massage—an intraoral method that relaxes the masseter muscle, relieves jaw pain, and improves facial contours. We also work on the neck, décolleté, shoulders, and scalp to enhance circulation and help flush toxins from the upper body. This treatment is perfect for those looking to reduce inflammation, ease facial tension, and restore radiance.
Prenatal/post-natal lymphatic drainage
Tailored to support the body during and after pregnancy, this massage helps reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and boost circulation. For prenatal clients, we work gently to relieve pressure and promote relaxation—especially helpful after the first trimester. For post-natal clients, the focus is on reducing water retention, supporting hormone balance, and helping your body recover. Each session is carefully adjusted to ensure effective results for mom and baby.
Brazilian lymphatic drainage
This specialized technique is known for delivering immediate, visible results. Using a combination of gentle pressure and rhythmic movements, Brazilian lymphatic drainage helps move fluid from deeper layers of tissue toward the lymph nodes, where it can be eliminated. It’s often used to sculpt the body, reduce bloating, and enhance natural contours. Clients leave feeling lighter, more defined, and noticeably refreshed—both inside and out.
Post-surgery lymphatic drainage
Post-surgery lymphatic drainage aims to support healing after cosmetic or medical procedures, reduce post-operative swelling, encourage fluid movement, and speed up recovery. It helps clear out anesthesia byproducts, reduce scar tissue formation, and ease discomfort. We ask clients to share their surgery type and date so we can customize the plan. If you’re more than three months post-op, we recommend booking a regular lymphatic massage instead.
Lymphatic therapy (MLD + LymphStar)
This advanced treatment combines manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) with the LymphStar Pro device—a gentle tool that uses vibrational energy to stimulate lymph flow at a deeper level. It’s ideal for those with chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, mold or Lyme illness, breast implant illness, or those recovering from viral or toxic exposure. The session provides powerful support for detoxification, circulation, and whole-body wellness.
Lymphatic massage FAQs
What should I expect during a lymphatic massage?
Expect gentle, rhythmic strokes that target the lymph nodes and help stimulate fluid flow. Unlike deep tissue massage, there’s little pressure—just slow, methodical movements that aim to enhance circulation and detoxification.
How often should I get a lymphatic massage?
It depends on your goals. For post-surgery or recovery, multiple sessions may be needed in the first few weeks. For general wellness, once a month can be beneficial.
Is lymphatic massage safe?
Yes, lymphatic massage is generally safe for most people. However, it’s important to consult your provider if you have any medical conditions like lymphedema, blood clots, or heart issues before starting treatments.
