Lymphatic drainage explained: How targeted treatment can benefit a whole variety of symptoms

From long-haul flights to hormonal changes, here’s how Brysk’s tailored lymphatic drainage treatments could benefit you

If you’ve ever noticed swelling in your legs after stepping off a long-haul flight, or are struggling with fluid retention after surgery that just won’t seem to go away, there’s no need to put up with it and suffer in silence.

You might have heard of lymphatic drainage treatments before, but what are they, how do they work and who do they actually benefit?

The body’s lymphatic system is responsible for maintaining fluid balance and plays an important role in keeping the immune system functioning as it should. It relies on movement, muscle contractions and other natural bodily functions to keep the fluid flowing. When it’s not functioning as it should, the fluid can build up in areas of the body which can cause bloating, swelling and sometimes discomfort. This is when manual and machine-assisted lymphatic drainage can lend a helping hand.

At family-run wellness studio Brysk, their state-of-the-art lymphatic drainage suit focuses on compression-based treatments that inflate in varying cycles and pressure levels - think of it as a massage that is actually doing your body some good.

With six different programmes designed around different needs, Brysk takes a tailored approach to this increasingly popular treatment meaning you will get out of it exactly what your body is needing.

Brysk’s six different lymphatic drainage treatments

Brysk Travel - designed for those who are soon to be going on (or have recently been on) a longhaul flight, this particular setting uses rhythmic inflation and compression movements to relieve and prevent swelling in the legs.
Menopause Balance - those suffering with symptoms of menopause or peri-menopause can benefit from this treatment, as it works to reduce unwanted swelling, bloating and fluid retention throughout the body.
Recharge & Relax - Ideal for those who are recovering from surgery and may have scarring, this particular setting is a gentler, softer approach to lymphatic drainage but still provides great results.
Circulation boost - Brysk’s firmest lymphatic drainage programme, this treatment provides a firm, rhythmic pressure that helps improve circulation and oxygenise blood flow.
Lymphatic reset - Another slightly firmer programme, this treatment is designed to help with hyperthyroidism as well as reducing the appearance of fatty lumps, varicose veins and helping to reset the immune system. Ideal for giving your immune system a little boost as we transition into the winter period.
Brysk Focus - This specific, tailored programme means that areas of the suit can be turned off to prevent compression in unwanted areas. This is particularly beneficial to those with cosmetic surgeries, knee surgery or amputation.
