Feel Lighter, Move Better: What You Should Know About Lymphatic Drainage Massage
At MoveRx, we're always looking for ways to help you move, feel, and live better. One of our newest offerings—Lymphatic Drainage Massage—does exactly that. Whether you're dealing with swelling, fatigue, or just looking to support your body's natural systems, this gentle therapy could be exactly what your body’s been asking for.
What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic Drainage Massage (also called Manual Lymphatic Drainage or MLD) is a light, rhythmic massage technique that helps move lymph fluid through your body. The lymphatic system is a key part of your immune system—it works like a cleanup crew, removing waste, toxins, and extra fluid from your tissues.
But sometimes, your lymph system can slow down or get blocked—especially after surgery, injury, or cancer treatment. That’s where Lymphatic Drainage Massage comes in.
Who Can Benefit?
This type of massage is ideal for people who experience:
Swelling in the arms or legs (lymphedema)
Post-surgical swelling
Fatigue or sluggishness
Chronic inflammation or fluid retention
Tightness or discomfort after injury
General immune system support
Even if you don’t have a medical condition, LDM can be a great tool for relaxation, detox support, and improved circulation.
What Does It Feel Like?
Unlike deep tissue massage, Lymphatic Drainage Massage is gentle and soothing. The therapist uses light, gliding movements to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid without causing pressure or pain. Most people find the session deeply relaxing—and leave feeling lighter and refreshed.
Are There Risks?
LDM is safe for most people, but there are some cases where it should be avoided. You should talk to your doctor before booking a session if you have:
Active infection or fever
Congestive heart failure
Kidney problems
Blood clots or DVT
Open wounds or skin infections

Why We Offer It at MoveRx?
We believe healing and movement go hand-in-hand. When your lymphatic system is flowing well, your body can move more freely, recover faster, and feel better doing it. Whether you're an athlete, recovering from surgery, or simply managing daily stress, LDM can be a powerful part of your wellness plan.
