Studies by The Jerzy Kukuczka Academy of Physical Education looking at muscle fatigue in athletes post-exercise support this theory as well. They show that lymphatic drainage massage has the potential to reduce our blood lactate concentration levels, which is one of the markers of fatigue within a muscle that's just been exercised, and reduce our post-exercise muscle tension by decreasing swelling and increasing healing. It's one way to ensure that DOMS doesn't hit in the days after exercise. 2. Less tired than normal for the rest of the day Now, I don't know about you but one of the things I always look for in a review of a treatment is what to wear (or not wear specifically). It can be so awkward when you don't know what to expect. So, for clarity: I stripped down to my pants and, laying down on a heated bed, placed a towel over my top half. During the treatment, Priscilla moved the towels as needed.

If you have tight muscles. This is less common, Wu says, but tight muscles can also prevent fluid from flowing properly in your body. That said, it's also important to note that the treatment is not suitable for individuals suffering from tuberculosis, bacterial, fungal or viral infections, those with open wounds, thrombosis, active cancer, or heart, kidney or liver failure. I tried lymphatic drainage massage for the first time - and have some thoughts She also loves being active, spending time outdoors and travelling - with some of her favourite features she’s worked on combining all three. Cycling and eating her way round the Isle of Man, learning to sail on the Côte d'Azur and traversing the Caminito del Rey path in Spain are just some of her highlights. Lymphatic drainage massages are luxurious spa treatments that have long been a celeb favorite for their many supposed benefits. A-listers claim they can help flush toxins, amp up immunity, and nix water weight and bloating. So is there any truth to all the rumors swirling around?

How to stimulate your lymphatic system

When it comes to my leg, Priscilla massages my right leg and after asks me to lift it up slightly so I can feel the difference between that leg and my untouched left leg. It does feel lighter, I say, but I'm unsure whether this is just because the massage has helped relax the muscles and loosen any knots. Either way, it feels good.

I purposefully emptied my bladder prior to the treatment, but shortly into the massage, I felt an urge to go to the toilet. "This means it's working", says Priscilla. Now, I'm sceptical, and perhaps this is a coincidence, but let me tell you: I peed three times within the hour after that massage.

First, let's break down what it is: "Lymphatic massage is massage that is specific for the lymphatic system," explains Karena Wu, PT, DPT, the owner and clinical director of ActiveCare Physical Therapy in New York City and Mumbai, India. The lymphatic network—made up of vessels and organs under your skin—is a crucial part of the immune system that works kind of like a garbage disposal (totally not gross!).

When I arrived at the studio last week, I was feeling a little under the weather. My muscles were aching as I’d just started training for a half-marathon alongside my regular strength training sessions, and given that I'd have time over the weekend to rest, I was expecting a heavy dose of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) on Saturday morning - but that wasn't what happened at all. Does lymphatic drainage work for muscle soreness? Absolutely. Although lymphatic drainage has a medical use, it's also trending in the wellness sphere as a treatment promising to make you feel less bloated, puffy, and tense, not to mention help with fluid retention. Some experts even claim it can help with the breakdown of cellulite and fat cells, although more research needs to be done to conclusively prove the latter claim. So, at most, you may experience a reduction in bloating post-lymphatic massage, but don't expect the results to last forever, and don't rely on a massage for weight loss. Can I take care of my lymphatic system any other ways (sans pricey massage)?

I went through a session at Re Place on the body roller machine - a device specially designed to stimulate cell regeneration and increase blood flow to the muscles by increasing the temperature during the rolling and by sending out infrared rays - and these are the benefits I experienced first-hand. 1.

The theory is that lymphatic drainage massages can help get rid of excess fluid in the body, adds Wu. Specifically, the process is designed to target "anywhere where there's excessive edema," a.k.a. swelling. "It can also help with other other general systemic conditions where you really want to move fluid and eliminate waste and toxins," she explains.

It acts like a sanitation system for our body by getting rid of 'waste' that our body naturally produces, or other things that can invade our body, like bacteria," says Linda Koehler, PhD, an assistant professor of physical therapy and rehabilitation medicine at the University of Minnesota.
