Let’s Talk About How This Massage Works!
Imagine your body is like a cool, busy city with little garbage trucks that go around cleaning up all the stuff your body doesn’t need. These trucks are part of your lymphatic system. But, if you get sick or hurt, those trucks can get stuck or slow down, and suddenly, your body feels puffy and uncomfortable.
At Vertex Physio, we do something special called manual lymphatic drainage. This is a type of lymphatic system drainage massage that gives those little trucks a gentle push to help them get moving again! We use soft, gentle strokes in a lymph node drainage massage to guide all the extra junk in your body to your lymph nodes (which work like the city’s recycling centers). Once the junk gets there, it’s sorted and cleared out, and you’ll feel much better—like someone just took the trash out!
Why Is Lymphatic Massage in Edmonton So Cool?
- It Makes Your Skin Look Great: If your face is puffy or tired-looking, this massage wakes up your skin, like splashing cold water on your face!
- More Energy for Fun: Ever feel super tired for no reason? This massage helps your body get rid of the junk that makes you feel slow, giving you more energy to work, run, and have fun!
- Feel Lighter, Like After a Stretch: Sometimes, you feel heavy and bloated, like when you drink too much soda. This massage helps your body get rid of that extra stuff, making you feel lighter and more comfortable.
- It Calms You Down: This massage isn’t just for your body—it helps your mind, too! It’s like lying down after a long day of working. You feel all relaxed and happy.
- No More Bloating: If you ever feel like a balloon that’s too full, this massage helps let out the extra air (not real air, just fluids), so you don’t feel puffy anymore.

Who Else Can Get This Massage?

- Relax Time: If you’re feeling stressed or need a break, this massage helps you calm down and feel super chill.
Is Lymphatic Massage Safe?
Alright, let’s talk about how safe a lymphatic drainage massage is. The good news is—it’s super gentle and really relaxing! Most people feel totally fine during the massage. Some might feel a little tired or sore after, but that’s just your body working hard to clean out all the extra junk the massage helped move around. These feelings don’t last long and are nothing to worry about!
But there are a few people who should check with their doctor first. If someone has heart problems, kidney issues, blood clots, an infection, or cancer, they should talk to a doctor before getting this massage. And if you’re pregnant, it’s always good to ask your doctor just to be sure it’s okay.
How Often Should You Get a Lymphatic Massage?
How often you need a lymphatic massage in Edmonton depends on what’s going on with your body. If you just want to keep things healthy and running smoothly, going once every few weeks is great! But if you’ve had surgery or have a lot of swelling, you might need to go more often—like once or twice a week—until you start feeling better. After that, just a session here and there will help maintain things. Our therapist will help you figure out what works best for you!
