Which lymphatic massage should I book?
Book 60 minutes ($135) for a first session. Book 90 minutes ($185) if you want the whole body covered at a slower pace. Online booking reserves 75 and 105 minutes. If you are recovering from surgery, this is not the right service.

What happens during a lymphatic massage?
The therapist uses slow, light, repeated strokes that move the skin toward the lymph nodes, usually starting at the neck. The pressure stays gentle for the whole session, so it feels closer to a soft skin stretch than to a regular massage.
Short conversation
Your therapist asks why you are booking and about any medical conditions, swelling or recent surgery.
Starting at the neck
The work usually begins around the neck and collarbones.
Light, rhythmic strokes
Slow, very light movements are repeated toward the nearest lymph nodes.
Calm finish
The session ends slowly. Get up at your own pace and drink some water.
Who is lymphatic massage for?
It suits people who want a very gentle massage, who find regular pressure too strong, or who feel puffy or heavy after long days or travel. It is not a post-op drainage massage, and some medical conditions make it a poor choice.
A good fit if you
- want a light-touch session rather than muscle work
- feel puffy or heavy after travel or long days on your feet
- find Swedish or deep tissue pressure too strong
- want a calm, quiet hour
Not the right choice if you
- are recovering from surgery: Spalenza’s lymphatic massage is not a post-op drainage
- have a blood clot or a history of clots
- have an active infection, fever, heart failure or kidney disease: ask your doctor first
Who performs lymphatic massage at Spalenza?
Lymphatic massage is performed by therapists on the Spalenza massage team, at a spa that holds a Massachusetts Multiple Massage Establishment license (#2229). No recent Google review describes a lymphatic session yet, so none is quoted here as if it were.
Recent reviews of other Spalenza massages are on the massage page.
How is lymphatic massage different from deep tissue?
They are close to opposites. Deep tissue uses slow, sustained pressure to reach the inner layers of muscle. Lymphatic massage stays on the surface with very light pressure and never tries to reach the muscle.
| Option | Pressure | 60 min |
|---|---|---|
| Lymphatic massage | Very light | $135 |
| Swedish | Light to medium | $110 |
| Deep tissue | Firm | from $135 |
Questions about lymphatic massage
Do you offer lymphatic drainage after surgery?
No. The Spalenza booking menu states that this is not a post-op lymphatic drainage massage. Ask your surgeon for a provider who specializes in post-operative care.
Is it a weight-loss or cleansing treatment?
No. We present it as a gentle massage technique, not as a way to lose weight or remove toxins.
Does it hurt?
It should not. The pressure is very light; tell your therapist right away if anything feels uncomfortable.
How many sessions do I need?
There is no set number. It depends on why you are booking; talk it over with your therapist after the first session.
How much does it cost?
60 minutes $135, 90 minutes $185. Reference prices as of Sep 2026.
