Lymphatic drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Innaloo, Perth
Also called manual lymphatic drainage, or MLD. It is one of the lightest treatments on our menu, and that surprises people who expect every massage to be firm. Sessions run 60, 75 or 90 minutes at our studio in Innaloo, a few minutes from Karrinyup, Scarborough and Stirling.
What it involves
A light, rhythmic treatment
Your lymphatic system is a network that helps move fluid through the body. A lymphatic drainage massage uses very light, rhythmic, repetitive strokes that follow the natural direction of that flow. It is gentle by design.
What a session involves
Slow and methodical. Your therapist works with flat hands and soft, sweeping movements, building a steady rhythm across an area rather than digging into one spot. We have a quick chat first about how you are feeling and whether there is anything we should know.
How it feels
Most people find it surprisingly calming, because the repetitive, featherlight strokes are easy to switch off to. It is a world away from a deep-tissue or remedial massage, so if you have only ever had firm treatments, it is worth knowing this one is meant to feel light.
When people book it
When they want something gentle rather than intense: after a big week, when they are feeling heavy or sluggish, or simply when a deep massage feels like too much. If you are pregnant, recovering from surgery or managing a medical condition, please mention it when you book so we can tailor the session or recommend the right option.
We will not promise a particular medical outcome. What we can offer is a calm, careful treatment suited to you. For a fuller walk-through, read our guide to what lymphatic drainage massage involves.

Common questions
Lymphatic drainage, answered
What is manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)?
Manual lymphatic drainage, usually shortened to MLD, is the hands-on technique used in a lymphatic drainage massage. It uses very light, rhythmic, repetitive strokes that follow the natural direction of lymph flow, rather than the firm pressure you would get in a remedial or deep-tissue treatment.
Is lymphatic drainage massage painful?
No. It is one of the lightest treatments on the menu. The strokes are soft and sweeping, and most people find the steady rhythm surprisingly calming. Pressing harder is not the point, and often works against it.
How long is a lymphatic drainage session?
You can book 60, 75 or 90 minutes. The 75 minute session includes a facial, and the 90 minute session covers the whole system.
Can I claim lymphatic drainage on my health fund?
We are an ANTA member clinic with HICAPS on site, so claims from recognised Australian health funds can be processed on the spot. What you get back depends on your fund and your level of cover, so check your extras before you book.
