So here in Athens our multi session lymphatic drainage packages help with fluid retention, support healing after surgery, and get your circulation moving like it should.
This page explains what happens during package sessions, how often you'll schedule visits, and if committing to a package makes sense for your situation.
You can book single sessions to try it first but honestly most people see way better results when they commit to a multi visit package that gives there lymph system consistent support over several weeks.

If you've had surgery recently, cosmetic, orthopedic, medical, whatever, you probably noticed swelling that just won't go away. That's trapped lymph fluid and its not going anywhere on its own without help.
Our lymphatic drainage packages use light rhythmic strokes across multiple sessions to manually move that fluid through your lymph system. Reduces visible puffiness and speeds up your healing.
Packages usually include 10 sessions of 30 or 60 minutes scheduled over several weeks. Gives your body the consistent support it needs to recover properly.
This isn't just for post op patients though. People dealing with chronic lymphedema, sports injuries, or conditions like lipedema see real improvement when they commit to a package instead of random single sessions here and there.

Heres the thing about lymphatic drainage packages - spacing matters as much as number of sessions. Most packages are designed for one to three visits per week especially if your recovering from surgery or dealing with significant swelling.
That consistent rhythm trains your lymph system to work more efficiently on its own between sessions. A typical 10 session package might run over 4 to 6 weeks with twice weekly appointments. Gives you enough frequency to see cumulative results without overwhelming your schedule or your lymph system.
Once you complete your initial package you can usually dial it back to maintenance packages with sessions every other week or monthly.
Puffiness in your hands, feet, ankles, or face especially first thing in the morning or after sitting all day - that doesn't go away with rest is a big one. So is that heavy achy feeling in your legs that doesn't match how much you've actually been moving.
Tight rings, socks that leave deep marks, or swelling that pits when you press on it? Those are your bodys way of saying it needs sustained help moving fluid out not just a single treatment.
The earlier you catch these signs and commit to a package the easier it is to reverse them before fluid buildup becomes chronic or painful.
Here's how we structure a typical 10-session lymphatic drainage package to give you the best results:
- Baseline measurements of swelling in affected areas.
- Education on what to expect and how to support results at home.
- Gentle introduction to lymphatic techniques starting at neck and working down.
- Increased coverage of lower body and extremities.
- Your therapist notes how your body responded to the first session.
- Adjustment of pressure and technique based on your feedback.
- Complete head-to-toe lymphatic drainage sequence established
- Noticeable cumulative effects should be appearing
Your therapist spends extra time on stubborn areas that aren't responding as quickly
- Longer intervals between sessions to test how well your body maintains results
- Your lymph system should be draining more efficiently on its own
- Education on recognizing early signs of fluid buildup to catch issues early, and what to do at home.

Most people start with a 10 session package if there dealing with active swelling or recovering from surgery. For chronic conditions like lymphedema or fibromyalgia, 10 to 15 session packages give you enough consistency to see lasting improvement. Your therapist can help you pick the right package size based on your specific situation during a consultation and you can always add more sessions later if needed.
Skip lymphatic packages if you have an active infection, blood clots, congestive heart failure, or kidney problems unless your doctor specifically clears you for treatment. If your pregnant or dealing with cancer that hasn't been treated yet talk to your healthcare provider before booking any multi session package. Lymphatic work moves alot of fluid and waste through your system and certain conditions make sustained treatment risky.
Not really. Lymphatic drainage packages reduce water retention and bloating which can make you feel lighter and look less puffy across multiple sessions but packages don't burn fat or replace actual weight loss from diet and exercise. If your dealing with lymphedema or post surgery swelling you might drop several pounds of fluid over the course of a package but thats addressing swelling not fat loss.
Package results last way longer than single session results because your retraining your lymph system over multiple weeks. After completing a 10 session package most people maintain noticeable improvement for 2 to 4 weeks before scheduling maintenance sessions. Your lymph system works more efficiently on its own after a full package so you need less frequent follow up than if you'd just done scattered single appointments.
Most packages have expiration dates - typically 3 to 6 months from purchase - to encourage consistent scheduling which is what makes packages effective in the first place. If you need to pause for illness or travel talk to us about extending your package deadline. Just know that big gaps between sessions reduce the cumulative benefits your paying for with package pricing.
If you've never had lymphatic drainage before and your not sure how your body will respond book a single session first to see if you like it. Once you confirm it helps commit to a package for better results and better pricing. If your recovering from surgery or managing a diagnosed lymphatic condition skip the trial and go straight for a package - your doctor probably already knows you'll need multiple sessions anyway.
