Lymphatic massage, also known as lymphatic drainage massage, is a gentle massage technique that uses light pressure and slow, rhythmic movements to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid through the body.
Unlike deep tissue massage, which uses deeper pressure to work on muscles and connective tissue, lymphatic massage focuses on gentle, controlled movements. Depending on your needs, your therapist may focus on specific areas of the body during your session.
At Step Above Massage, each lymphatic massage session is personalized around your comfort, needs, and wellness goals. Whether you are looking for a gentle massage experience or want to support healthy fluid movement, our goal is to provide a relaxing and comfortable experience.

Light, rhythmic techniques are used to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system.
Lymphatic drainage massage may help with certain types of swelling associated with fluid buildup. Persistent or unexplained swelling should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
The slow, gentle nature of lymphatic massage can create a calming experience and may be a comfortable option for people who prefer a less intensive massage.
Each lymphatic massage session is tailored to your comfort level and individual needs, allowing your therapist to adjust the approach based on your preferences.
