How the treatment works
Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses gentle, rhythmic manual strokes to encourage movement of lymph fluid and ease localized swelling. Each appointment lasts 60 MINUTES, and the twenty-session package is offered at $75 per session (total $1500). The program is designed for clients who need regular, sustained care during post-operative recovery or long-term detox.
The sauna wrap is incorporated to increase superficial circulation and promote a warmer, more pliable soft tissue environment during the 60 MINUTES session. That combination supports deeper, cumulative effects over multiple visits without promising a specific medical outcome; many clients note less swelling and a lighter sensation after repeated treatments.
Session structure and timing
A typical session begins with a brief assessment of swelling patterns and any post-op instructions. Therapists then apply controlled lymphatic techniques along established drainage pathways, finishing with a sauna wrap phase to encourage increased circulation. You may choose an optional enzyme therapy add-on for $150, which is a 30-minute supplement to the standard session.
This 20-session schedule favors consistency: regular visits allow the therapist to monitor progress, adjust pressure, and advise self-care between appointments. Book early-morning or weekend slots if you commute from Midtown or the Upper West Side; Central Harlem’s proximity to the 125th Street transit hub makes after-work appointments practical.
Who benefits and trade-offs
The package is aimed at people with notable post-operative needs or ongoing detoxification goals—clients with edema, post-surgical swelling, or those seeking sustained circulation support often choose extended programs. Reviews describe reduced swelling, improved comfort, and better circulation after multiple sessions, reflecting the cumulative nature of lymphatic work rather than an instant fix.
Commitment is the main trade-off: twenty sessions require time and a $1500 investment, though the per-session rate is $75. Expect steady, incremental change and consistent therapist guidance; always follow post-op clearance from your surgeon or medical provider before beginning treatment, and plan around seasonal peaks in demand (January, February, April, May).
