Lymphatic & buccal massage · Rocky Hill, CT
Lymphatic drainage massage and buccal massage
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic massage that helps move lymph fluid to reduce puffiness and swelling. Buccal massage releases the jaw and cheeks from inside and outside the mouth. Both are available at The Guest House in Rocky Hill, CT.
Manual lymphatic drainage
What an MLD massage session is like
Manual lymph drainage uses light, slow strokes that follow the direction of lymph flow toward the lymph nodes. It is much softer than a deep tissue massage. Clients book this lymphatic drainage treatment, also called MLD therapy or manual lymphatic drainage therapy, to reduce puffiness, bloating and fluid retention and to feel lighter and more relaxed.
Before your first lymphatic drainage massage, we ask about your health history. If you have lymphedema, recent surgery, an infection, heart or kidney problems, or a history of blood clots, check with your doctor first. Manual lymphatic drainage for lymphedema is medical care: if you need a lymphedema massage therapist, look for a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT) working with your doctor.

Buccal massage
Facial massage from the inside out
Buccal massage works the cheek and jaw muscles from outside the face and, with gloved hands, from inside the mouth. It releases tension from clenching, can soften puffiness and helps define the contours of the face.
Lymphatic drainage and buccal massage are both part of our Signature Sessions, from $219.
