Staying hydrated is essential after the session as the massage makes the lymph move in your circulatory system, so when you hydrate after the massage, the momentum is continued that was achieved during the massage. Moreover, this will also help to flush out any toxins or waste products.​​

After a lymphatic drainage massage, it’s important to rest and relax.

Yet, just as drinking will help, some light exercise, yoga or a short walk can definitely help your body move and process lymph nodes more efficiently.

This is for clients who have lymphedema or those who are coming in to reduce chronic fluid build up due to a medical condition or surgery (usually through suggestions from a physical therapist or plastic surgeon). If your therapist or doctor advises it, wear compression garments such as sleeves, stockings, or wraps to apply gentle pressure to the treated areas. Compression garments can aid in reducing swelling and improving lymphatic flow for those with chronic medical conditions or who are recovering from surgery.​​

Keeping the inner motion running smoothly after the session is over is super important. To help with this you should go easy with your digestive system and avoid overwhelming it with a heavy meal. Eat a light meal and let the body enjoy the internal work happening after a lymphatic drainage massage.

These foods provide essential nutrients that support the lymphatic system’s function and overall health. Be sure to check with your doctor if you are on a special diet and DO NOT use any suggestions I give you in place of those given to you by your doctor or healthcare provider.

​Although a moderate amount of rest is suggested after MLD, you should try to engage in light to moderate physical activities such as walking, yoga, or swimming. Gentle movement helps stimulate lymphatic circulation and promotes the elimination of waste products from the body.​

Wearing loose clothes after the massage will help to maintain the proper flow of lymphatic fluid and overall circulation within the body, thus promoting healing. On the other hand, wearing tight clothes can restrict the lymph fluids and hinder the circulation gained during the massage.
