Are you looking for a natural way to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and boost your overall wellbeing? At Clifton Pure Physio, we specialise in manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) – a gentle yet powerful treatment that supports your overall wellbeing.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, struggling with heavy legs in the heat, or simply want to enhance your skin and body contours for an event, lymphatic drainage can make a real difference.
What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is a specific form of massage designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a key role in removing toxins, waste products, and excess fluid from the body. Unlike traditional massage, which targets the muscles, lymphatic drainage massage is light in pressure and follows a sequence to encourage the lymph fluid to flow in a certain direction. This therapy is not only beneficial for medical recovery but also offers visible aesthetic improvements, making it one of the most popular treatments at our clinic in Palma.
Health Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage
Many of our clients in Mallorca experience noticeable improvements after just a few sessions. Here are some of the main health benefits.
1. Reduces Swelling and Oedema
Lymphatic drainage is highly effective in treating fluid retention, whether caused by surgery, injury, or medical conditions. It reduces puffiness and discomfort, restoring lightness to the body.
2. Supports Post-Surgery Recovery
If you’ve had cosmetic or medical surgery, such as breast surgery, abdominoplasty, etc. lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling, prevent fibrosis, and speed up the healing process. Many surgeons recommend it as part of a complete recovery plan. It also can encourage the results to become visible more quickly and evenly.
3. Boosts Circulation and Detoxification
By activating the lymphatic system, this therapy promotes the removal of toxins, strengthens the immune system, and improves overall circulation. Which in turn improved skin tone and elasticity by helping the skin to appear firmer, smoother, and more radiant.
4. Relieves Heavy or Tired Legs
Especially during the warm summer months, many people suffer from heavy, swollen legs. Lymphatic drainage offers lasting relief, restoring comfort and mobility.
5. Reduces Cellulite and Water Retention
Excess fluids can make cellulite and bloating more visible. This treatment helps smooth the skin and reduces puffiness in areas like the thighs, hips, and abdomen.
6. Defines Facial Contours
Facial lymphatic drainage reduces puffiness around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline. The result? A slimmer, fresher, and rejuvenated appearance without invasive procedures.

Most people respond well to lymphatic drainage massage, however there are certain circumstances where it should be avoided.
People with the following conditions should avoid Lymphatic Drainage:
-Cardiac issues such as Decompensated Cardiac Insufficiency, Cardiac Edema, and Congestive Heart Failure.
- Acute Inflammation: Includes infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses.
- Renal Failure.
- Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
