Lymphatic Drainage Treatments

Detoxify. De-bloat. Define.

At FJR Sport Therapy, we offer two specialist types of Lymphatic Drainage designed to support your body’s natural detox process, reduce fluid retention and enhance overall wellbeing:

🌿 Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

A gentle, therapeutic technique using light, rhythmic movements to stimulate lymph flow, reduce swelling and promote healing. Ideal for post-surgery recovery, reducing water retention, improving circulation and boosting immunity — helping you feel lighter, refreshed and balanced from the inside out.

HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR TREATMENT.

For maximum benefits we recommend a full body treatment first, however individual areas can be worked on.

🌴 Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage and body contouring (BLD)

A more dynamic, sculpting approach that combines traditional drainage with contouring techniques to define your shape, smooth the skin and enhance detoxification. This treatment helps to instantly de-bloat, tone and revitalise — leaving you with that signature snatched and sculpted look ✨

HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR TREATMENT.

For maximum benefits from body contouring its recommended a course of 4 weekly sessions for that lasting sculpted look.

Both treatments offer powerful health benefits including improved circulation, reduced inflammation, enhanced recovery and a natural boost to your immune and lymphatic systems.

 Lymphatic Drainage FAQ (MLD & BLD)

  • Lymphatic drainage is a specialised massage technique that boosts lymph flow to reduce swelling, ease inflammation, and support detoxification. We offer two methods: Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage (BLD).

  • We offer two types of lymphatic drainage:

    • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) – a gentle, therapeutic technique for reducing swelling, calming inflammation, and supporting healing.

    • Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage (BLD) – a more dynamic, contour-focused method that reduces bloating, enhances definition, and boosts circulation.

  • MLD is a gentle, clinical-style technique designed to reduce swelling, support healing, and calm the nervous system.
    BLD is more dynamic and contour-focused, helping enhance shape, reduce bloating, and leave the body looking and feeling more sculpted.

  • Most clients experience little to no redness after a facial BLD session.
    The techniques used are gentle, rhythmic and designed to move lymph — not irritate the skin.
    Some people may have a slight temporary flush due to increased circulation, but it settles very quickly.

  • Both MLD and BLD help reduce water retention, ease bloating, improve circulation, support detoxification, relieve inflammation, and boost overall wellbeing. BLD offers more visible contouring, while MLD offers deeper therapeutic benefits.

  • Lymphatic drainage can support:

    • Lymphatic congestion

    • Chronic swelling or puffiness

    • Digestive discomfort and bloating

    • Sinus issues

    • Hormonal water retention

    • Fatigue and sluggishness

    • Inflammation after illness or stress
      MLD is ideal for therapeutic needs, while BLD is great for sculpting and fluid reduction.

  • No. MLD is extremely gentle and soothing, while BLD is still comfortable but includes more dynamic strokes. Both treatments are relaxing, and many clients fall asleep.

  • Most clients notice results from both MLD and BLD immediately — feeling lighter, less bloated, and more energised. Results continue to improve over 24–48 hours.

  • Results typically last several days/weeks depending on your attention to aftercare and lifestyle. With regular MLD or BLD sessions, improvements can become longer-lasting.

  • Both MLD and BLD are suitable for most people, but those with certain medical conditions (such as active infections, renal or heart issues) should check with a healthcare professional first.

  • For general wellbeing, initial session every 1–2 weeks for 4 sessions for maximum results is ideal and then you can space out the appointments after that for maintenance.

    For ongoing issues like chronic bloating or swelling, weekly MLD or BLD sessions offer the best results.

  • To ensure you get the best experience and results:

    • You must be well — please reschedule if you feel unwell or have symptoms of illness.

    • For facial lymphatic drainage: arrive with no makeup if possible, to allow full access to the skin.

    • Disposable underwear is provided for body treatments, or you can wear your own if preferred.

    • Avoid heavy meals and excessive caffeine beforehand.

    • Arrive hydrated, as lymphatic drainage works best when the body is well-hydrated.

    • Come in loose, comfortable clothing to avoid compression marks post-treatment.

  • To maximise your results and support your body as it continues flushing excess fluid, follow these simple aftercare steps:

    • Hydrate well – Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your lymphatic system work efficiently and enhance detoxification.

    • Avoid salty, heavy, or processed foods – High-sodium foods can cause water retention. Opt for lighter meals and whole foods for the next 24 hours.

    • Keep moving gently – Light walking, stretching, or mobility work encourages continued lymph flow. Avoid intense or high-impact exercise until later in the day or the following day.

    • Limit alcohol and caffeine – These can dehydrate you and slow the lymphatic response, reducing the treatment’s effectiveness.

    • Wear loose clothing – Avoid tight waistbands or restrictive clothing for the rest of the day to prevent restricting circulation.

    • Take it easy – Feeling relaxed or slightly tired afterwards is normal. Allow your body to rest if needed.

    • Monitor changes – You may notice increased urination, reduced bloating, or improved digestion as your body processes fluid shifts.

    • Stay consistent – Regular treatments provide the best long-term results for swelling, inflammation, bloating, and lymphatic congestion.

    Both MLD and BLD work best with good hydration and consistent care.
