Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic technique that supports the body’s lymphatic system — the network responsible for moving fluid, reducing swelling, and clearing waste. Using light, precise strokes, MLD helps improve lymph flow, ease discomfort, enhance recovery after injury or surgery, and support overall immune health. It’s deeply calming, safe, and especially beneficial for people experiencing fluid retention and pre- or post-operative swelling.
At BodyCentral, we use manual techniques as well as the Flowpresso Sequential Compression Pump for full body compression therapy.
FLOWpresso®
FLOWpresso® is a non-invasive, natural 3-in-1 sensory therapy designed to support deep relaxation, recovery, and whole-body balance.
By calming the nervous system and encouraging restorative sleep, FLOWpresso® helps reduce stress, fatigue, and overwhelm, helps faster healing, recovery in sport, weight loss, stress response and better mobility by allowing the body to rest, repair, and reset. It is clinically shown to improve sleep quality and support physical and mental wellbeing.
How FLOWpresso® Works
Cyclic Pneumatic Compression
Gentle, rhythmic compression encourages circulation and lymphatic flow, supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Deep Pressure Therapy
Even, sustained pressure creates a deeply calming effect on the nervous system, similar to a grounding embrace.
Far Infrared Heat
Soft, penetrating warmth promotes lymphatic flow, relaxation, sleep, and tissue recovery, helping restore balance and ease.
We do not recommend Flowpresso® for people with:
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or suspected DVT Active infection (local or systemic) | Congestive heart failure (unmanaged) | Severe or uncontrolled hypertension | Circulatory or vascular disorders such as severe peripheral artery disease | Fever or acute inflammatory conditions | Recent major surgery (if not cleared by a surgeon) | Active cancer unless cleared by an oncology team | Pregnancy (as a precaution)
