We provide lymphatic drainage massage in Victoria, BC, serving Royal Oak, Saanich, and surrounding communities.

The lymphatic system is part of the body’s immune and circulatory systems. It helps move lymph fluid—which contains white blood cells, proteins, and waste products—throughout the body. In some cases, lymphatic flow may become impaired, which can contribute to fluid buildup or swelling in certain areas.

Lymphatic drainage massage uses light, rhythmic techniques designed to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid.

This treatment differs from traditional massage therapy in that it:

• Uses very light pressure 
• Focuses on specific pathways of the lymphatic system 
• Follows slow, controlled movements 

Treatment is always adapted based on your individual presentation and clinical needs.

Patients may seek lymphatic drainage massage for:

• Mild swelling or fluid retention 
• Post-surgical recovery (when appropriate and cleared by a healthcare provider) 
• Feelings of heaviness or congestion in tissues 
• General wellness and relaxation 

If you have been diagnosed with lymphedema or another medical condition, treatment should be coordinated with your healthcare team.

At Tranquility Health Massage Therapy, lymphatic drainage treatments are provided by Registered Massage Therapists trained in appropriate techniques.

Your care may include:

• A health history review and assessment 
• Gentle, targeted treatment based on lymphatic pathways 
• Adjustments based on your comfort level 
• Recommendations for ongoing care when appropriate 

All treatment is provided in accordance with CCHPBC standards of practice.
