Shiatsu Massage for Lymphatic Drainage (leg chair massage)

This treatment blends the principles of traditional Shiatsu therapy with a mechanised leg massage chair, designed to stimulate lymphatic drainage in the lower limbs. It applies rhythmic pressure to key points to boost circulation and promote the removal of fluid and toxins.

Indications

• Tired or heavy legs
• Fluid retention
• Poor venous or lymphatic circulation
• Swelling or mild cellulite
• Sedentary lifestyle, or long periods of standing or sitting
• As a complement to aesthetic or post-surgical recovery (with medical approval)

Contraindications

• Acute injuries: Do not perform Swedish massage on newly injured areas, such as sprains or strains, where there is swelling or inflammation.
• Skin conditions: Should not be performed on areas with open wounds, rashes, or infections.
• Cancer: Caution is needed, especially if the person is undergoing chemotherapy or has metastatic cancer.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Avoid massaging areas with blood clots.
• Severe osteoporosis: Can be risky for people with fragile bones, as pressure could lead to fractures.

Aftercare

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water post-massage to help flush out toxins and support the body’s detoxification.
• Rest: Allow time to rest after the massage to let the muscles fully relax and rejuvenate.
• Avoid intense physical activity: For 24 hours post-massage, avoid strenuous exercise to allow the body to fully absorb the benefits of the massage.
• Gentle stretching: Light stretching can help increase flexibility and maintain the effects of the massage.
• Monitor for soreness: Mild soreness is normal after a Swedish massage but should dissipate within a day or two.
