Our Three Stage Treatment Process
We believe in providing transparent, patient-centred care at every stage of your treatment. Here’s what you can expect when you choose lymphatic drainage massage at Kinch Chiropractic Clinic.
Initial Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where our practitioner will discuss your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. We'll assess areas of concern, identify any contraindications, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. This ensures you receive the most effective care possible in a safe, comfortable environment.
Treatment Session
During your session, you'll relax in our comfortable treatment room whilst our trained practitioner performs gentle, rhythmic massage movements following the direction of lymph flow in your body. The technique uses light pressure and specific hand movements to encourage lymphatic drainage. Sessions typically last between 45-60 minutes, and you may feel deeply relaxed during the treatment. Many patients find the experience soothing and therapeutic.
Recovery & Aftercare
Following your treatment, we provide comprehensive aftercare advice to maximise the benefits of your session. You may be advised to drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and monitor how your body responds. Some patients notice immediate improvements, whilst others experience gradual benefits over subsequent days. We'll recommend a treatment schedule based on your individual condition, which may involve multiple sessions for optimal results. Our team remains available to answer any questions as you progress through your recovery.

Common Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common queries we receive from patients at Kinch Chiropractic Clinic, helping you feel fully informed and confident about your treatment choice.
Is lymphatic drainage massage painful?
No, lymphatic drainage massage should not be painful. Unlike deep tissue massage, this technique uses very light, gentle pressure with rhythmic movements. Most patients find the treatment extremely relaxing and soothing. The touch is feather-light because the lymphatic vessels are close to the skin’s surface. If you experience any discomfort during your session, please inform your practitioner immediately so adjustments can be made. Our priority at Kinch Chiropractic Clinic is ensuring your complete comfort throughout the treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies depending on your individual condition and treatment goals. Some patients experience significant benefits after just one or two sessions, whilst chronic conditions like lymphoedema may require ongoing treatment. During your initial consultation, our practitioner will assess your needs and recommend an appropriate treatment plan. Typically, acute conditions may need 3-6 sessions, whilst chronic issues might benefit from regular maintenance treatments. We’ll continuously monitor your progress and adjust your treatment schedule accordingly.
Are there any side effects or contraindications?
Lymphatic drainage massage is generally very safe with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience increased urination, mild fatigue, or slight headache following treatment as the body eliminates toxins. However, this treatment is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications include active infections, acute inflammation, congestive heart failure, blood clots, and certain cancers. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly review your medical history to ensure this treatment is safe and appropriate for you. Our experienced practitioners follow strict safety protocols to protect your health.
Can lymphatic drainage massage help with weight loss?
Whilst lymphatic drainage massage is not primarily a weight loss treatment, it can support your overall wellness goals by reducing water retention and bloating, which may make you feel lighter and less puffy. The massage helps eliminate excess fluid and metabolic waste, which can improve body contour and reduce the appearance of cellulite. However, sustainable weight loss requires a combination of healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes. At Kinch Chiropractic Clinic, we can discuss how lymphatic drainage massage fits into your broader health and wellness plan, and provide guidance on complementary treatments that may help you achieve your goals.
