Manual lymphatic drainage – targeted massage to lighten and cleanse the body
Manual lymphatic drainage is a special gentle technique performed by a trained physiotherapist, aimed at stimulating lymph flow and supporting the body's natural cleansing.
At Spa Resort Sanssouci in Karlovy Vary, we offer it as part of individual therapy as well as preventive body care.
Course and effects of the treatment
Precisely guided hand movements following the natural direction of lymph flow result in:
- reduction of swelling, especially in the lower limbs
- faster drainage of excess fluid from the tissues
- improved blood supply and nourishment of the skin
- a stronger immune system
- relief of tension in migraines or chronic rhinitis
- support for detoxification of the body
The massage is very gentle, painless and highly effective, especially for long-term problems with lymph circulation.
We recommend manual lymphatic drainage for:
- swelling of the legs after injuries or surgery
- chronic venous insufficiency
- chronic fatigue and water retention
- reduced immunity, cellulite and a slow metabolism
- problems with chronic mucus build-up and migraines

Manual lymphatic drainage is not carried out in cases of:
- febrile and acute inflammatory diseases
- malignant tumours (current or in the medical history)
