Feel Lighter and Healthier with Lymphatic Massage, at Instill Therapies
Struggling with swelling, sluggishness, or post-surgical recovery? Lymphatic massage is a gentle yet powerful way to support your body’s detoxification and immune systems. At Instill Therapies in Winnipeg, we offer targeted lymphatic drainage massage at our calming, centrally located clinic on 2143 Portage Avenue.
What Is Lymphatic Massage?
Lymphatic massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a light, rhythmic massage technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. Your lymphatic system plays a crucial role in removing waste, reducing inflammation, and supporting immunity — but it doesn’t have a pump like your heart.
Through gentle strokes and movement of the skin, lymphatic massage helps decongest lymph nodes, reduce fluid buildup, and encourage natural detoxification.
Who Benefits from Lymphatic Massage?
Lymphatic massage is ideal for those experiencing:
Post-surgical swelling (e.g., cosmetic surgery, joint surgery)
Lymphedema or fluid retention
Chronic fatigue or sluggish immune function
Hormonal bloating or PMS-related swelling
Poor circulation or detox symptoms
Post-injury inflammation
It’s also incredibly soothing and supports deep relaxation — especially when your nervous system feels overloaded.

What to Expect During a Lymphatic Massage at Instill Therapies
