Chloe (Lymphatic Massage Service) is a godsend. I had horrible lymphedemia in my foot from a failed surgery. She did complete decongestive therapy, and it was so much better in days. Unbelievable! Now, I am completely addicted to her massages. Chloe’s technique is so great – strong for me, yet also perfect for my daughter who is beyond ticklish. But the icing on the cake is Chloe’s demeanor, knowledge and personality. She is so sweet, kind, knows all different types of therapy, and is a true pleasure to talk to. I very highly recommend Chloe!

I came to Chloe in absolutely desperate mood because no doctors could help me with my water retention and every other problem that was connected to it. Since September Chloe helped me not only with this issue but with everything else that was bothering me for years. I feel like a totally new human being! My physical state, my sleep, my mood, my injuries – for these months she was able to put me in place while doctors couldn’t.

The simple, yet complicated answer is – it depends. People have different reasons for needing lymphatic work. In order to have results that you want, frequency and consistency is key.

If you are experiencing inflammation, whether it is post-op swelling, autoimmune related, or lymphedema, typically one to two times per week is sufficient.

The goal is to eventually space out sessions until inflammation is under control. With autoimmune and lymphedema, the goal is to maintain a routine that keeps the flare ups to a minimum.

For others, once per month or once every other month is sufficient to keep your immune system moving optimally. It all depends on each person’s body and what works for you specifically.
The lymphatic system requires minimal pressure because of where the lymph system is located in the body.

The majority of the lymph vessels are located just under the first layer of skin. If pressure is applied any deeper, then the focus becomes the muscular system. The only time deeper pressure is applied when fibrosis is present.

Fibrosis is a condition that happens when the lymph fluid accumulates so much it starts to harden and requires deeper pressure to be broken down. Fibrosis typically happens in Stage 3 Lymphedema and post op Liposuction.
Lymphatic massage should not be painful. Because the lymphatic system requires light pressure, it is a soothing technique. Most people experience deep, calming effects from lymphatic massage.
After the session, it depends on how your body responds. Some of the most common sensations people feel is relaxation/rejuvenation, feeling lighter, more energy, or better sleeping patterns.

It is common to experience increased urination throughout the day, or a bowel movement, as your body is detoxing and eliminating toxins. Those who suffer from constipation have reported having normal bowel movements after receiving lymph drainage massages.

If inflammation or visible swelling is present, some people will be able to feel the lymph fluid draining during the session and/or may experience feeling lighter, less discomfort, and easier mobility after a session or multiple sessions.

In less common instances, some people who tend to have a lot of toxin build up may experience sluggishness, fatigue, and nausea as the body is detoxing. These symptoms become less and less after each session as the immune system is removing toxic waste more efficiently.
Lymphatic massage tends to have fast results, especially if inflammation is present (i.e. post op, autoimmune, lymphedema, sinus issues etc.). However, it is important to keep in mind is that sometimes it can take multiple sessions for you to feel and/or see any differences.

The human body is complex and it all depends on how your body responds. Some people experience results within 24-72 hours after their session, and others it may take a few sessions to notice a difference.

Lymphatic massage services will produce results over time if you stick with it.

Drinking plenty of water is always recommended after a lymphatic drainage massage session to help flush toxins and stay hydrated so the whole body system can work more effectively.

Avoiding alcohol and caffeine is also recommended. These stimulants are known to cause dehydration, which can slow down and congest the lymphatic system.

It is important to find a therapist who has completed specific hours of advanced and specialized training through nationally recognized schools/programs. As of right now, Manual Lymph Drainage/Lymphatic Massage itself does not require its own licensure or mandatory training standards.

However, therapists who are certified in lymphatic drainage massage must uphold a licensure in another field of bodywork in order to become certified in lymphatic massage. These include Physical and Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Certified Occupational Therapists, Massage Therapists, RNs, MDs, etc.

There are different avenues of training that therapists can seek out. There is controversy over this because of the types of training therapists can choose from when becoming certified, which all comes down to safety.

There are national and international schools and programs that train therapists to become Certified Lymphedema Therapists and Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapists. A Certified Lymphedema Therapist has completed the highest level of learning regarding the lymphatic system and pathologies, Manual Lymph Drainage, and Complete Decongestive Therapy.

These programs consist of 135 hours of specific training. One third of the training is classroom lecture, and two thirds consist of lab instruction in order to properly perform the necessary skills to effectively perform treatment. In order to complete the program, each therapist must pass a written and hands-on examination in order to become a Certified lymphedema Therapist.

Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist programs consist of 60 hours of hands on training with education on the lymphatic system and pathology, and also include a written and hands-on examination in order to become certified.

Both are certified to perform lymphatic massage and have completed extensive hours to safely apply this technique, and their clinical skills, to those who have medical needs or those seeking out lymphatic drainage for other reasons. 

Alternatively to these high level trainings are online training programs. There are an abundance of online programs that count as continuing education courses that range anywhere from 4 hours to 25 hours of online videos with no in-person training.

At the end of these programs, the therapist can print out their own certificate that allows them to perform lymphatic drainage on anyone. The controversy lies in that this can be dangerous and a liability because there is a big difference between the education a therapist receives in the nationally recognized schools compared to the online courses.

There are medical professionals who will not refer their patients out for lymphatic drainage because they are aware these programs exist and are aware it is not enough training. 

Those who are seeking out lymphatic massage for medical reasons or post-op need to be aware that just because a therapist says they can perform lymphatic drainage massage, does not mean that they have taken the right training to safely perform this technique and provide the correct education to their clients. 

Qualified specialists will display their certification and/or use the CLT (Certified Lymphedema Therapist) or CMLDT (Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist) initials after their title.
