Lymphatic Massage
A gentle, rhythm-based massage designed to support healthy fluid movement, relaxation, and overall wellness. Offered at Spavia’s 65+ locally owned day spas and personalized to you.
The Treatment
What a Lymphatic Massage is
A gentle, rhythm-based massage designed to support healthy fluid movement, relaxation, and overall wellness. This treatment incorporates light-pressure, anatomically informed techniques that follow the body's natural lymphatic pathways to promote a feeling of lightness, reduce temporary puffiness, and support the body's natural processes. Guests often report feeling less congested, more refreshed, and deeply relaxed following treatment.
At Spavia, every Lymphatic Massage is delivered by licensed massage therapists in a calm, candlelit setting and tailored to you. We begin with a brief consultation so your treatment reflects your goals, comfort, and any areas of concern — the resort-inspired, personalized care Spavia is known for.

The Details
How the Lymphatic Massage is done
Techniques
- Light, rhythmic techniques that follow the body's natural lymphatic pathways
- Works primarily with the superficial tissues, not the deeper muscle layers
Good to know

- Not offered to guests with acute inflammation, lymphedema, blood clots or DVT, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, active untreated cancer, or a rash, open wound or infection in the treatment area.
- Pregnancy, recent surgery, lymph node removal, uncontrolled high blood pressure, unexplained swelling and varicose veins need an extra check-in with your massage therapist; the treatment may be modified.
