Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique designed to support the natural flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. At our clinic, lymphatic drainage sessions are offered by Samantha Barile, ND, a certified naturopath and member of the ANPQ who completed 2,600 hours of training at the Collège Supérieur de Naturopathie du Québec.
Lymphatic Drainage is an alternative therapy that simulates the motion of lymph fluids around the body. The fluid in the lymphatic system supports the removal of toxins and waste from bodily tissues.
This can help people who experience fibromyalgia, lymphedema, skin disorders, swelling, fatigue, stress, insomnia, arthritis, digestive problems and migraines.
Our Montreal location offers both Brazilian style and a gentle classic lymphatic drainage massage technique that is designed to improve the immune system. Our Laval location offers a deep-tissue Brazilian style lymphatic drainage exclusively. Both locations utilize medical grade Celluma Light Therapy Technology for pain management, wrinkles, acne and several others advantages.
Frequently asked questions
What does the lymphatic system do?
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system, and its role is to help keep the body's fluid levels balanced. Lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle movements designed to support the natural flow of lymphatic fluid around the body. It is a wellness service and does not replace care from your physician.
