Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to improve lymph circulation, eliminating toxins, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the immune system. It is also useful postoperatively to reduce edema and improve recovery. It is performed with slow movements following the natural flow towards the lymph nodes and has benefits such as combating fluid retention, cellulite, and stress.

It should not be performed in cases of infections, thrombosis, or active cancer.
