Lymphatic drainage promotes the proper functioning of the lymphatic system, helping to eliminate excess fluids and toxins accumulated in the tissues.
In addition to reducing swelling and the feeling of heaviness, it improves circulation, accelerates tissue regeneration, and provides a pleasant sense of lightness. It is also particularly useful for improving the appearance of the skin in cases of cellulite and for preventing the formation of varicose veins or visible capillaries.

The duration of the session generally ranges from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on individual needs and the condition of the legs.

The treatment process

The therapy begins in a supine position, with relaxation of the front of the neck.
This step is very important: the main lymphatic ducts are located in this area, collecting lymph from the entire body and returning it to the bloodstream. By activating these “central” areas first, the main drainage pathway is opened, allowing lymph to have a clear route during the treatment of the legs. This way, swelling is reduced more easily, and the therapy is safe and effective.

Next comes relaxation of the diaphragm, the inguinal regions, and the front of the legs.
The patient is then positioned prone to work on the back of the legs and the glutes.
For lymphatic drainage to be truly effective, it is essential to follow all these phases — each is connected to the others and supports proper lymphatic flow.

The session lasts 60 or 90 minutes.
In the 60-minute version, the therapy is primarily performed in the supine position; the prone position and treatment of the back of the legs are shorter, which is why a 90-minute session is recommended.
It is useful to know, however, that even in the shorter version, thanks to the correct technique and sequence of movements, drainage of the back of the thighs is naturally stimulated.
