Manual lymphatic drainage uses a light, rhythmic pace that feels distinctly different from deep massage.
Pressure is intentionally light
Deep tissue work often uses slower, more specific pressure around a smaller number of areas. Manual lymphatic drainage uses very light, rhythmic contact, so intensity is not the measure of the experience.
The session can feel quiet and subtle. Danielle explains the intended approach and checks comfort as the work unfolds.
Manual lymphatic drainage
Light and rhythmic
- Very gentle contact
- A focused 60-minute session
- A calm, consistent pace
Deep tissue bodywork
Slow and specific
- Adjustable, potentially firm pressure
- Attention around priority areas
- A different pace and purpose
Choose based on experience, not intensity
Select lymphatic work when you specifically want light rhythmic contact. Choose Therapeutic or Deep Tissue Massage when you want pressure-based work and more flexibility in technique.
