What is lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a very light, rhythmic massage that follows the lymph pathways sitting just beneath the skin. There is no heavy pressure. The therapist uses slow, gentle strokes that move towards the lymph node areas of the body.
At True Spa in Mid Valley, Kuala Lumpur, we call it the Lymphatic Body Massage. The touch feels soft and calming, and many guests tell us their body feels lighter afterwards.
Why people book a lymphatic massage
- A bloated, puffy or heavy feeling
- Tired, heavy legs after long hours of sitting or standing
- Feeling sluggish after a long flight
- Wanting a gentle massage with no strong pressure
Results vary from person to person. A lymphatic massage is a wellness treatment and does not replace medical care.
What to expect during your session
- A quick chat. Tell your therapist how you feel and any areas to avoid.
- Light, rhythmic strokes. The therapist works across the body with a soft, steady touch.
- Time to rest. Most guests feel deeply relaxed, and some drift off.
- After your session. Drink water and take the rest of the day at an easy pace.
Sessions run for 60, 90 or 120 minutes. If it is your first time, 60 minutes is a good place to start.
Who should check with a doctor first
Please speak to your doctor before booking if you are pregnant, have a heart or kidney condition, a blood clot, a fever or an active infection, or are having cancer treatment. If you have lymphoedema, see a medically trained lymphatic therapist.

You can book 60, 90 or 120 minutes. A longer session gives the therapist more time on each area.
How often should I book one?

What should I do after a lymphatic massage?
Drink plenty of water, keep your next meal light and rest if you can.
