Lymphatic Drainage & Post-Op Massage in Winston‑Salem, NC

Gentle, Targeted Bodywork to Support Healing, Detox & Recovery

Facilitating Natural Healing — One Drain at a Time

Your lymphatic system plays a vital role in immune health, fluid balance, and healing. At Jade and Serenity Spa, we offer manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and post-surgical lymphatic massage to help your body detox gently, reduce swelling, and recover more comfortably — all in a clean, calming environment.

Our therapists are trained in non-invasive techniques designed to work with your body’s natural rhythms, helping you heal faster and feel better — whether you’re preparing for surgery, recovering from a procedure, or supporting overall wellness.

What Is  Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Lymphatic drainage is a specialized technique that uses light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. Unlike deep tissue massage, this therapy is extremely gentle and precise, designed to support the flow of lymph without adding pressure or inflammation.

What to Expect in a Lymphatic or  Post-Op Session

Consultation & Review

We discuss your health history, type of surgery (if applicable), symptoms, and recovery goals. Your session is always personalized.


Gentle Manual Drainage

You’ll lie comfortably while our therapist uses slow, rhythmic strokes to direct fluid toward the appropriate lymph nodes for drainage. The touch is very light, but extremely effective.

Focus on Healing

Sessions may include attention to the abdomen, limbs, face, or surgical areas — depending on your needs and stage of healing.


Aftercare Guidance

We provide hydration tips, compression guidance (if needed), and suggestions for ongoing care.



How Soon After Surgery Can I Begin?

Lymphatic drainage can typically begin as soon as 3–5 days post-op, depending on your doctor’s clearance. Starting early can greatly reduce swelling, discomfort, and complications.

Many clients benefit from a series of sessions to support full recovery. We’re happy to build a custom plan for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is lymphatic drainage painful?

    Not at all. The technique is very light and slow — designed to work with your lymph flow, not your muscles. It should feel relaxing and soothing.

  • How many sessions will I need after surgery?

    It varies based on your procedure. Most post-op clients benefit from 4–10 sessions spread over several weeks. We’ll customize a plan based on your healing.

  • Can I get this treatment if I didn’t have surgery?

    Yes! Lymphatic drainage supports detox, circulation, and immune health — great for anyone experiencing inflammation or fatigue.

  • Will I need to wear compression?

    We may recommend compression garments for post-op clients, depending on your stage of healing. Always follow your surgeon’s instructions.
