Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle massage technique that activates lymph circulation to reduce swelling, eliminate toxins and improve skin tone. At Harmony Sanctuary® Torremolinos we perform it at our centre on Pasaje Alberto Ginastera, with therapists trained in the original Vodder technique.
💧 What is lymphatic drainage?
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a very light, slow and rhythmic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system to help eliminate retained fluids. The pressure is minimal — the hand barely brushes the skin — because the lymphatic vessels lie just beneath the surface. The technique was developed in the 1930s by Dr Vodder and remains the international standard for treating oedema, fluid retention and post-operative recovery.
✨ Benefits of lymphatic drainage
- Reduces fluid retention and the feeling of heavy legs.
- Improves skin tone and helps with soft cellulite.
- Speeds up post-operative recovery.
- Reduces oedema during pregnancy and after childbirth.
- Leaves a deep feeling of decongestion and lightness.
👤 Who is it for?
- People with swollen legs at the end of the day.
- Patients recovering from cosmetic surgery.
- Women with premenstrual hormonal fluid retention.
- Anyone suffering from chronic oedema.
🌿 What the session is like at Harmony Sanctuary® Torremolinos
We welcome you at our Torremolinos centre. A quiet room, warm lighting, a controlled temperature. The session begins with a short consultation to understand your goal (legs, abdomen, post-op recovery) and choose the protocol.
The drainage is done with a neutral vegetable oil or moisturising gel; the pressure is very gentle and painless. Standard duration 40 minutes. Afterwards we serve you water and an herbal tea and allow five minutes for you to get up slowly.
