LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
The lymphatic system serves as our body's largest filter, crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system and removing waste and toxins. Unlike the circulatory system, which has the heart to pump blood, the lymphatic system relies on muscle contractions and external assistance like lymphatic massages to help propel lymph fluid through its network of vessels. These specialised massages, such as those offered by Kakaio, can aid in stimulating lymphatic flow, supporting the body's natural detoxification process and promoting overall wellness.
Signs you may need a lymphatic massage
- Digestive issues: Bloating, constipation, or discomfort after eating.
- Fatigue: Persistent low energy levels and feeling sluggish.
- Mood disturbances: Irritability, mood swings, or anxiety and depression.
- Hormonal imbalances: Irregular periods, acne, or weight fluctuations.
- Swollen lymph nodes: Enlarged or tender lymph nodes in body.
- Skin issues: Dryness, acne, eczema, or dull complexion.
- Water retention: Swelling in hands, ankles, or feet.
- Weakened immune function: Frequent illnesses, slow wound healing.
- Inflammation: Joint pain, redness, or swelling in body.

What’s Involved?
Massage therapy involves structured touch, holding, pressure and manipulation of the soft tissues in the body to promote healing and a sense of well-being. There are different approaches to massage, all of which emphasise personalised, one-on-one care that can be tailored to the needs of the individual.
The Benefits
Studies have shown that massage therapy has a positive impact on the mind and body and can be beneficial in managing the side effects of many conditions.
In general, massage relieves muscle tension and stress, reduces anxiety and fluid retention, improves sleep, and restores hope. But exactly how massage affects the individual depends on the type of therapy administered. We offer several different types of massages here at KaKaio.
Therapeutic Massage FAQ
-
Massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the body's soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. It involves various techniques and pressures to promote relaxation, relieve tension, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being.
-
Regular massage offers numerous benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, alleviating muscle tension and pain, improving blood circulation, enhancing flexibility and range of motion, boosting the immune system, promoting better sleep, and aiding in the recovery from injuries or surgeries.
-
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle massage technique that aims to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid in the body. It involves light, rhythmic strokes and specific hand movements to help remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the tissues, while also supporting the immune system.
-
Lymphatic drainage massage can be beneficial for individuals with conditions such as lymphedema (swelling due to lymphatic system blockage), post-surgical swelling, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, detoxification, and certain skin conditions like acne or rosacea. It may also aid in the reduction of edema during pregnancy.
-
Lymphatic drainage massage is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, individuals with certain medical conditions, such as congestive heart failure, kidney problems, blood clots, infections, or active cancer, should avoid this type of massage or consult with a healthcare professional beforehand. Some people may experience increased urination, temporary fatigue, or mild soreness after the massage, but these effects are typically short-lived.
-
The frequency of lymphatic drainage massage can vary depending on your specific needs and goals. For conditions like lymphedema, it may be recommended to have several sessions per week initially, followed by regular maintenance sessions.
For general wellness and relaxation, bi weekly or a monthly or bi- schedule may be sufficient. It's best to consult with a qualified massage therapist who can assess your individual situation and provide personalised recommendations
