This is a gentle, precise therapeutic massage designed to stimulate lymphatic circulation and promote the elimination of fluids and toxins that have accumulated in the body.
We perform lymphatic drainage according to the Vodder method, a recognized manual technique developed for therapeutic and medical purposes.
Unlike "Brazilian lymphatic drainage," which is often focused on aesthetics and immediate effects on body contour, the Vodder method gently stimulates the lymphatic system to support the body's natural functions, reduce swelling, and promote recovery.
For whom? This massage is designed for people who are prone to water retention or heavy legs, those recovering from surgery or long-term medication, as well as anyone who simply wants to support their lymphatic system and regain a sense of lightness.
How often should I get lymphatic drainage? Pour un effet durable sur la rétention d’eau et la circulation, une séance toutes les 2 à 3 semaines est un bon rythme d’entretien ; en période post-opératoire ou lors d’un problème plus marqué, un rythme plus resserré peut être conseillé par votre thérapeute. Notre centre de la rue des Glacis-de-Rive, à deux pas du quartier des Eaux-Vives à Genève, vous accueille du lundi au samedi : réservez votre soin en ligne en quelques clics ou appelez-nous au 022 840 00 48.
Lymphatic drainage is recommended for the following conditions:
- water retention
- swelling following an injury or surgery
- prolonged drug absorption
- difficult bowel movements
- headaches
It is also recommended as a post-operative treatment.
What is lymph?
A colorless fluid that circulates through the lymphatic vessels.
It transports proteins, nutrients, toxins, and cellular debris.
It acts as a waste removal system, draining excess fluids and toxins.
If lymphatic circulation is impaired, the body suffers.
