Do You Need Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
At Anderson Wellness Center, Dr. Kristen Steely may recommend manual lymphatic drainage massage to relieve swelling in your arms and legs due to lymphedema.

Read on to learn more about what manual lymphatic drainage is and whether you should consider lymph drainage massage in Anderson, SC.
What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Manual lymphatic drainage, also called a lymphatic drainage massage, is a specialized form of massage that relieves swelling and promotes safe, natural drainage of the lymphatic system. During your lymphatic drainage massage, we will gently massage and manipulate different parts of your body at the site of your lymph nodes to encourage proper lymph drainage.
Who Should Consider Lymph Drainage Massage?
You should consider lymph drainage massage if you have an illness, injury, or medical condition that affects the ability of your lymph nodes to properly drain fluids. Dr. Steely may recommend manual lymphatic drainage massage if you have:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Lymphedema
- Lipedema
What to Expect During Lymph Drainage Massage
During your lymphatic drainage massage, we begin with targeted, gentle massage to release the lymphatic fluids that are stored in your tissues and causing swelling or edema. We will then gently redirect this fluid to your lymph nodes, where it can be naturally drained or reabsorbed into your body.
