Gentle Osteopathic Treatment to Support Detoxification, Circulation & Immune Health

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that stimulates the body’s lymphatic system to promote detoxification, reduce swelling, and improve circulation. This therapy complements our osteopathic care, supporting overall wellbeing and recovery.

What Is Lymphatic Drainage Therapy?

The lymphatic system is part of your immune and detoxification network, responsible for transporting lymph—a fluid containing white blood cells—throughout the body to remove toxins and waste.

​

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy uses light, rhythmic manual techniques to enhance lymph flow, reduce fluid retention, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Lymphatic drainage therapy can be effective for:

  • Swelling and fluid retention (lymphedema)

How Lymphatic Drainage Therapy Works

  • Non-invasive
