But what lymphatic bodywork? Is it right for you?



Lymphatic drainage (or lymphatic massage) is a genre of specialized techniques that support the body’s lymphatic system.

There are different styles of lymphatic massage, each with unique benefits and tailored applications.

Let’s dive in, shall we?


the Lymphatic System

What is the lymphatic system?

  • The The lymphatic system is a network that runs throughout the entire body. It helps your body maintain fluid balance, filter waste, and support immune function. It consists of lymph nodes, lymph vessels (sort of like how veins exist to move blood – lymph vessels exist to move lymph fluid), and organs like your tonsils and appendix.

What are some different lymphatic massage techniques?

At Summit Therapeutics, we offer a few types of lymph-related massage therapy techniques.

At their core, they are similar in that they all promote fluid movement and filtration (what some would call detoxification) but each technique is unique and appropriate for different clients working toward different goals.

Here’s a look at what we offer and how it can help you!

1: Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a very gentle technique designed to reduce swelling and promote detoxification. This therapy is based on light, precise strokes, and again, feels incredibly slow and gentle.

  • Best For:

    Individuals with post-surgical or post-injury swelling

    Those with chronic inflammation or autoimmune disorders

    Clients seeking gentle detoxification and immune support to support lifestyle shifts or medical findings such as mold toxicity.

    *People living with Stage 2+ Lymphedema should be searching for the services of a Certified Lymphedema Therapist. We are not qualified to do that here.

2: Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a more dynamic, sculpting-focused technique that blends traditional lymphatic drainage (MLD) with deeper movements. This method is appropriate for healthy individuals whose lymphatic systems are not otherwise compromised by illness, insufficiency, or injury. Brazilian Lymphatic Massage enhances circulation, reduces bloating, and creates a visibly contoured appearance, often favored for its aesthetic benefits. We highly recommend it the day (or morning) before things like: weddings, galas, new headshots, and high school reunions.

  • Best For:

    Individuals looking for body contouring and definition

    Those who experience fluid retention and bloating

    Clients seeking a revitalizing, energizing experience

It helps reduce post-operative swelling, prevent fibrosis, and promote faster healing. Perioperative lymphatic massage combines gentle manual drainage with specialized techniques to ensure optimal recovery while reducing discomfort.

  • Best For:

    Clients recovering from liposuction, tummy tucks, BBLs, breast augmentations, or facelifts

    Individuals looking to enhance recovery and prevent complications
