What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), is a gentle, specialized massage technique that encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid through the body's lymphatic system.
Unlike traditional massage techniques that focus primarily on muscles, lymphatic drainage uses light pressure and specific movements to support fluid circulation. It may be helpful for certain types of swelling and fluid retention, and it is sometimes incorporated into recovery plans following surgery when medically appropriate.
At 89 & Ivy Wellness, each session is tailored to the client's needs, comfort, and individual circumstances.
Potential Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Depending on your individual needs, lymphatic drainage massage may help:
Support healthy lymphatic fluid movement
Reduce certain types of swelling and fluid buildup
Promote comfort during appropriate stages of post-surgical recovery
Encourage relaxation through gentle, rhythmic massage
Complement a personalized wellness or recovery plan
Results vary depending on the cause of swelling, medical history, and individual circumstances. Lymphatic drainage is not appropriate for every condition, including certain active infections or untreated medical concerns.
Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Bentonville
Recovering from surgery can involve swelling, tenderness, and changes in how your body feels and moves. At 89 & Ivy Wellness, we offer individualized post-surgical lymphatic drainage massage for clients who are medically appropriate for treatment.
Sessions use gentle techniques tailored to your procedure, stage of recovery, and comfort level. We emphasize careful assessment, appropriate timing, and communication with your surgical or medical team when needed.
Whether your procedure was performed locally or elsewhere, our goal is to provide attentive, professional support throughout the appropriate stages of recovery.
Please obtain clearance from your surgeon when indicated before scheduling post-surgical lymphatic drainage.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Is lymphatic drainage massage painful?
Lymphatic drainage massage generally uses very light pressure and gentle, rhythmic movements. It should not require deep or forceful pressure. Your comfort and individual needs guide each session.
How soon after surgery can I receive lymphatic drainage massage?
The appropriate timing depends on the procedure, your recovery, and your surgeon's instructions. Some clients may be eligible for treatment right after, while others need to wait. Medical clearance may be necessary.
How many lymphatic drainage sessions will I need?
For post-surgical lymphatic drainage, we generally recommend scheduling 2–3 sessions per week during the initial recovery period, depending on your procedure, surgeon's recommendations, and individual needs.
We encourage clients to schedule their appointments before surgery to ensure availability during recovery.
As your recovery progresses, we continually evaluate your needs. If you're progressing faster than expected, we can space appointments farther apart or cancel sessions that are no longer necessary.
Our goal is to provide the care you need—not schedule unnecessary appointments.
