Looking for lymphatic drainage massage in Reno? Reno Massage Tree offers gentle, targeted care to reduce swelling, support recovery, and help you feel light and relaxed.
What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic technique that helps move lymphatic fluid, reduce swelling (edema), and support your body’s natural detox and immune functions. Unlike deep tissue work, MLD uses light, precise strokes to encourage flow without discomfort—ideal when you want therapeutic results with a soothing touch.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Reduce Swelling & Water Retention
Helps move excess fluid and ease puffiness in areas like legs, ankles, face, and abdomen—so you feel lighter and more comfortable.
Support Post-Surgery & Injury Recovery
With your provider’s clearance, gentle lymphatic work can help minimize fluid buildup and support healing rhythms after procedures or injuries.
Calm the Nervous System
Slow, light pressure activates a relaxation response—lowering stress, improving sleep quality, and leaving you deeply relaxed.
Comfort for Active Lifestyles
From high-desert hikes to ski days, Reno’s dry climate and altitude can leave you feeling puffy. Lymphatic drainage helps you reset faster between activities.
