What is lymphatic drainage?

Lymphatic drainage uses very light, rhythmic strokes in the direction of lymphatic flow to reduce swelling, fluid retention and post-injury congestion.

How we use it

Common after ankle sprains, post-surgical swelling (knee, shoulder), during pregnancy, and for clients with chronic fluid retention or sluggish circulation.

Common conditions

Post-op swelling, ankle and knee sprains, sinus congestion, pregnancy oedema, and general immune support alongside a broader osteopathic plan. Osteopath Mitcham — hands-on osteopathy at Lifestyle Essentials, 503 Whitehorse Road, Mitcham.
