💧 Lymphatic Drainage Massage
This treatment is designed to encourage healthy lymphatic flow, helping to reduce swelling and fluid retention—particularly after surgery or periods of immobility. Performed without oils and using soft, rhythmic strokes, it gently activates your lymphatic system to assist with natural drainage. It can be applied across the whole body or targeted to specific areas depending on your needs.
Great for: Fluid retention, gentle post-op recovery

What should I expect from a massage session?
A Massage session will last between 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on what is desired.
If attending the Docherty Wellbeing clinic, you will be escorted to the treatment room where you will be shown where to get ready and told how to prepare yourself, as well as being asked to choose your desired lotion or oil (as necessary). After this you will be left alone whilst you prepare yourself accordingly. Your massage treatment will then be completed before you are left alone once more to get yourself ready to leave the clinic.
If having the massage at your home, the therapist will arrive with all necessary equipment. They will take a few moments to set up the table or seat, with sheets, pillows and towels as necessary. Once that is complete you will be told how to prepare yourself, as well as being asked to choose your desired lotion or oil (as necessary). After this you will be left alone whilst you prepare yourself accordingly. Your massage treatment will then be completed before you are left alone once more to get yourself ready before the therapist returns to the room to pack up and leave.
What should I wear for a massage?
Some of the massages use oils, which can sometimes stain material, so the ideal way to have the massage is to be undressed (there will be towels available to cover you as necessary). However, if you wish to keep your underwear on, you are welcome to do so, but please wear something you don’t mind getting oil stains on. The general rule for the best massage experience possible is: Wear as little as possible, but enough to feel comfortable.
