A lymphatic drainage massage is a two-step process:

  • Clearing: This step releases lymphatic fluid in your tissues.
  • Reabsorption: This step moves your lymphatic fluid to your lymph nodes.

Some individuals find relief through a mechanical process. In this method, you wear a sleeve on the swollen arm or leg, which is connected to a pneumatic pump. The pump pulsates, aiding in the drainage of lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes.

Lymphatic drainage massages are often used to relieve lymphedema following breast cancer surgery. Other conditions that benefit from lymphatic drainage massages are:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis: This is ongoing arthritis in your joints causing joint pain, swelling and stiffness.
  • Fibromyalgia: This condition causes chronic muscle and joint pain.
  • Chronic venous insufficiency: This happens when your leg veins aren’t working effectively, making it hard for your blood to return to your heart from your legs.
  • Lipedema: This happens when excess fat accumulates in your lower body, blocking your lymphatic pathway and causing lymphedema.

You might not see immediate results from lymphatic drainage massages. If you do not notice improvement after several sessions, consult your healthcare provider about exploring alternative treatments.

Consult your healthcare provider about learning lymphatic drainage massage techniques. They can provide information to help you determine whether you would benefit more from performing the massage yourself or working with a trained massage therapist.

Few individuals experience adverse reactions to lymphatic drainage massage. However, some report headaches, nausea, and fatigue. If you encounter these side effects, consult your healthcare provider for advice on how to manage them.

You should call your provider if your lymphedema appears to be getting worse.

Lymphedema leads to swelling and increases the likelihood of infections. It is an uncomfortable and unfortunate consequence of certain cancer treatments and other diseases. One method to alleviate lymphedema symptoms is through lymphatic drainage massage. Consult your healthcare provider to see if this treatment could be beneficial for you.
