Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Burwood East
Gentle, hands-on therapy to reduce swelling, ease post-surgical recovery, and support your body's natural fluid balance.
What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that encourages the natural flow of lymph fluid through the body. It’s commonly used to reduce swelling, support recovery after surgery, and ease fluid retention. Sessions are light-touch by nature this isn’t deep tissue work and typically run 60 minutes for an initial assessment and treatment.
Who It Can Help
- Post-surgical swelling and recovery
- Lymphedema and chronic swelling in the arms or legs
- Fluid retention and puffiness (hands, feet, face)
- General relaxation and stress relief
- Pregnancy-related swelling (with GP clearance)
What to Expect at MyoActive
- Your therapist will assess the area of concern and your medical history before starting, using techniques tailored to your specific needs. Initial sessions run longer than a standard massage so we can properly assess what’s driving your swelling or discomfort, not just treat the surface symptom.
When to See Someone / Safety
- Lymphatic drainage is gentle and low-risk for most people, but it isn’t suitable if you have an active infection, fever, untreated blood clot, or certain heart or kidney conditions — let your therapist know your full medical history before booking. If you’re pregnant or have a diagnosed medical condition, check with your GP first.

When to See Someone?
If you’re dealing with persistent swelling, fluid retention, or recovering from surgery and it’s affecting your daily comfort, lymphatic drainage is worth booking in for, it doesn’t need to be severe before it’s worth treating. If you have an active infection, fever, a diagnosed blood clot, or a heart, kidney or liver condition, check with your GP before booking, as lymphatic drainage isn’t suitable in these cases. If you’re pregnant, let your therapist know and get clearance from your GP or obstetrician first.
