We typically recommend waiting 48–72 hours after minor procedures and longer for major surgeries. Always obtain surgeon clearance first. Your therapist will assess incisions and healing and tailor pressure to ensure safety while promoting lymphatic drainage.

Yes. Regular manual lymphatic drainage encourages lymph flow and immune cell circulation, supporting the body's ability to clear pathogens and cellular waste. Treatments work best alongside good nutrition, hydration, sleep, and medical guidance for chronic conditions.

No — the treatment uses very light, rhythmic pressure. Most clients find it deeply relaxing and may notice warmth or mild tingling as fluid shifts. If you feel any pain or unusual discomfort, your therapist will adjust technique immediately.

It depends on your goals. Post-surgical swelling often benefits from multiple sessions in the first weeks, while chronic congestion or mood concerns may see improvement with weekly or biweekly treatments. Your therapist will recommend a personalized plan.

Mild and short-lived effects can include fatigue, increased urination, or a mild headache as toxins mobilize. These usually resolve in 24–48 hours. Contact us if swelling worsens, fever develops, or you experience unusual pain.

Referrals are not typically required, though some insurance claims or complex medical cases may need one. If recovering from major surgery or managing conditions like cancer, consult your physician first. We can coordinate care with your medical team.
