Massage Therapy
Manual lymphatic drainage by Lynn Lord — specializing in post-surgical recovery, lymphedema, and cancer-related drainage. The body's waste removal system, manually reactivated.
Book with LynnLynn's specialized training in lymphatic cancer drainage massage makes her one of the few practitioners in the Savannah area with this qualification. She works with post-mastectomy patients, cancer survivors with lymphedema, and general clients with lymphatic stagnation from any cause.
After lymph node removal (particularly axillary nodes in breast cancer treatment), the arm or affected region may swell persistently. Manual drainage is the primary therapeutic intervention and must be performed by a certified specialist.
Any surgery disrupts local lymphatic vessels and causes inflammatory swelling. Drainage massage significantly accelerates the clearance phase and reduces post-operative swelling and stiffness.
Persistent swelling in the legs, arms, or feet that isn't due to acute injury — often caused by lymphatic stagnation from postural compression or venous insufficiency.
Anyone experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog, recurrent infections, or general "sluggishness" may benefit from lymphatic drainage as part of a broader wellness protocol.
Lymphatic drainage massage uses very light, rhythmic pressure — far gentler than deep tissue massage. The lymphatic capillaries sit just beneath the skin surface and respond to light, slow strokes that follow the lymphatic pathways toward the nearest draining lymph nodes.
Sessions typically last 60–90 minutes. Many clients feel noticeably lighter, less puffy, and more energized after their first session. Chronic lymphedema typically requires multiple sessions and may include instruction in self-drainage techniques for home management.
Not all massage therapists are trained in lymphatic drainage, and even fewer are qualified to work with cancer-related lymphedema. Call to book with Lynn directly.
