Lymphatic Drainage Therapy in Calgary
What is Lymphatic Drainage?
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in removing toxins from the body and maintaining fluid balance. When it’s not functioning optimally, waste products can accumulate, leading to a build up of toxins and reduction of the efficiency of your body’s systems. At Vitality BioMed we offer two types of Lymphatic drainage.
- Flowpresso System: An automated massage system that places you in a body compression system that applies pressure and heat cycles.
- Personal Massage: A hands on approach with traditional lymphatic drainage techniques.
Both variations of this non-invasive treatment aids in detoxification, improves circulation, supports the immune system, and promotes relaxation.
Your Lymphatic Drainage Journey
At Vitality BioMed in Calgary, your lymphatic drainage therapy experience is designed to be both effective and deeply restorative. Once you’ve chosen your preferred method—Flowpresso or a manual lymphatic drainage massage —here’s what you can expect during your visit:
For the Flowpresso lymphatic drainage option we’ll get you set up in the suit that offers compression and infrared heat to promote circulation and reduce inflammation.
If you opted for the manual lymphatic drainage massage, you prepare just as you would for any other massage. Our registered massage therapist will use rhythmic techniques to stimulate circulation and support the detoxification of your lymphatic system manually
After either session, we drink lots of fluids to support the detoxification process.
We recommend 1 session a week for 3 weeks to maximize the lymphatic drainage process, and allow your body to fully benefit from the detoxification.

Lymphatic Drainage FAQs
What are the symptoms for poor lymphatic drainage?
Symptoms include swelling and increased ‘water weight’ (especially in the limbs), fatigue, low immune system response, and a feeling of heaviness or stagnation in the body.
What is lymphatic drainage massage?
It’s a gentle massage technique designed to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which helps eliminate waste from the body. Using gentle strokes and pressure, this technique gently releases stored toxins from the body and increases lymphatic flow.
Are saunas good for lymphatic drainage?
Yes, saunas can promote lymphatic drainage by increasing circulation and encouraging sweating, which helps remove toxins. We recommend pairing your lymphatic session with an Infrared Sauna session for optimal detoxification results. Learn more about our sauna here.
What is the best drink for lymphatic drainage?
Staying hydrated is essential to an optimized lymphatic system. Water is always best, however herbal teas, like ginger or dandelion, or clean electrolytes or trace minerals can also be supportive to the lymphatic system.
Does lymphatic drainage help with weight loss?
While lymphatic drainage is not a direct weight loss method, it can reduce water retention and bloating, leading to a slimmer appearance. Regular lymphatic sessions can support effective toxin elimination leading to optimized elimination and digestion which can also be supportive for weight loss.
