Lymphatic drainage massage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic, light-pressure technique that aims to support the natural movement of lymph fluid. Mirek Werykowicz, RMT, offers it as a mobile service across Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington and Milton.
Lymphatic drainage massage uses very light, rhythmic, repetitive strokes that follow the direction of lymph flow. It is much gentler than other massage styles. People often choose it for a light, soothing session that supports the body’s natural lymphatic movement.
Best for
- People who prefer a very gentle, light-pressure session
- Feelings of general puffiness or heaviness
- A soothing, relaxing experience
- Those who find firmer massage too intense
Good to know
- Lymphatic drainage is supportive care, not a medical treatment. For lymphoedema, post-surgical swelling, or medically complex swelling, consult your physician and a certified lymphoedema therapist.
- For deep muscle tension, deep tissue or therapeutic massage is more suitable.
What to expect
The pressure is very light, with slow, repetitive, rhythmic strokes. It feels gentle and soothing rather than deep. Mirek explains the approach and keeps the session comfortable throughout.
Insurance receipt
As a Registered Massage Therapist (CMTO Ontario), Mirek provides an official RMT receipt after your session that you can submit to your extended health plan for possible reimbursement. This is a receipt for reimbursement, not direct billing.

Questions about lymphatic drainage massage
What is lymphatic drainage massage and what is it good for?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a very gentle, rhythmic, light-pressure technique that follows the direction of lymph flow. People choose it for a soothing, relaxing session and to support the body’s natural lymphatic movement. It is much lighter than deep tissue or therapeutic massage.
Does lymphatic drainage massage work, and is there a downside?
Many people find it gentle and relaxing, and report feeling lighter afterward. Evidence for specific health benefits is limited and mixed, so Mirek keeps expectations honest. It is generally low-risk when done gently, but it is not a medical treatment and does not remove toxins from the body.
How do I tell if I might benefit from lymphatic drainage?
If you prefer a very light, soothing massage or feel generally puffy or heavy, you may enjoy it. For any medical concern, such as ongoing swelling, see your physician first. Mirek is happy to talk through whether it suits you before you book.
Is lymphatic drainage massage covered by insurance?
When provided by a Registered Massage Therapist, it is delivered as registered massage therapy, so Mirek issues an official RMT receipt. Whether your plan reimburses it depends on your specific extended health coverage. Check your plan for RMT massage therapy benefits.
