Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Sheffield

Lymphatic drainage massage is very different from a classic massage. Instead of kneading the muscles, your therapist uses slow, light, rhythmic pumping and sweeping movements across the skin, following the natural direction of your lymphatic system. The pressure is so gentle it can feel almost like a stroke – and that's exactly the point.

It's one of the most soothing treatments there is. Many people find it helps them feel less puffy and more refreshed, particularly after long flights, long days on their feet, or in warm weather when ankles and fingers can feel swollen. Most of all, it's a wonderfully calm hour.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a relaxing wellbeing treatment, not a medical one. It isn't suitable if you have an infection or fever, a blood clot or history of DVT, heart or kidney problems, or are having active cancer treatment – please speak to your GP first. If you've been diagnosed with lymphoedema, you'll need a specialist lymphoedema therapist. If you'd prefer a more traditional relaxing massage, try Swedish massage.

Our therapist, is trained in lymphatic drainage, and we always take time over your health questions first. Our small, independent salon on Sharrow Vale Road is quiet, warm and unhurried – just right for such a gentle treatment.
