Manual lymphatic drainage in Tenerife

What it is

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that follows the direction of the body’s lymphatic system. The pressure is light and the movements are slow and repetitive, which makes it one of the calmest treatments on offer. It is very different from a deep or sports massage.

Benefits you can expect

Many clients choose lymphatic drainage to feel lighter and less puffy, to support healthy circulation, and to relax deeply. It is often used to help with the feeling of fluid retention, for example heavy or swollen legs after long periods of standing, travel, or hot weather. The experience itself is soothing and is a good choice if you find firmer massage uncomfortable.

Who it is for

• Anyone who feels swollen, heavy, or sluggish, particularly in the legs.
• People recovering after certain cosmetic or surgical procedures, when carried out with the agreement of their doctor or surgeon.
• Anyone who wants a very gentle, deeply relaxing treatment.

Who should check first

Lymphatic drainage is not suitable for everyone. If you have a heart condition, kidney problems, an active infection, a blood clot, or a current cancer diagnosis, please speak with your doctor before booking. For post-surgical drainage, Selma works alongside your medical guidance rather than replacing it.

What a session is like

Every session begins with a short personalized assessment so the treatment fits your needs and goals. You rest comfortably while Selma works in slow, light sequences. Most people find it calming enough to drift off. Afterward, drinking water and a little gentle movement help you feel the benefit.
