Lymphatic Drainage
Massage Knottingley
Gentle, rhythmic lymphatic drainage massage from Level 4 therapist Jody Davies. Private appointment-only sessions at Formula Fitness, Mastercraft Building, Knottingley. Sessions from £35 — book by phone or WhatsApp.
A gentler approach to massage
Lymphatic drainage is a massage technique that uses light, slow, rhythmic strokes to work with the body's lymphatic system. Unlike sports or deep tissue massage — which targets muscle tissue with firm pressure — lymphatic drainage is very gentle, working on the vessels just beneath the surface of the skin.
The lymphatic system plays a role in the body's fluid circulation and natural drainage processes. Lymphatic drainage massage is designed to support those processes using a specific, structured approach that feels completely different to other massage treatments.
Sessions start with a short conversation about what you're looking for, and treatment is adapted to suit you. It's a quiet, unhurried session — most clients find it deeply relaxing.
A different kind of treatment for a different need
Lymphatic drainage suits clients who are looking for something gentle rather than deep pressure work.
People who feel heavy or sluggish
If you regularly feel puffy, heavy or slow — particularly in your legs, arms or face — lymphatic drainage may help support your body's natural fluid movement. It's a gentle treatment that works with your body rather than into it.
Those wanting relaxation-focused treatment
The slow, rhythmic nature of lymphatic drainage makes it one of the more deeply relaxing massage options available. If you find deep tissue work too intense, or you're simply after something restorative, this is worth considering.
Clients looking to support general circulation
Lymphatic drainage may suit those who want a treatment focused on supporting overall fluid circulation and general wellbeing, rather than targeting specific muscular tension. Jody will talk through whether it's a good fit at your first appointment.
Anyone wanting something different
Already had sports massage and looking to try something else? Lymphatic drainage is a completely different experience — lighter, slower, and focused on different areas of the body. Many clients book it alongside their regular sports massage sessions.
Calm, structured and unhurried
Lymphatic drainage sessions follow a clear, consistent approach from start to finish.
Brief consultation
A short conversation when you arrive. You'll talk through what you're looking for, how you've been feeling and whether lymphatic drainage is the right choice for your session. No lengthy forms.
Gentle, rhythmic treatment
The session uses very light, slow strokes across the treatment areas. Pressure is gentle throughout — nothing sharp or intense. Most clients find it deeply calming.
Adapted to you
Treatment areas are adapted based on what you're looking to address. Jody will check in during the session to make sure the approach is right for you.
Aftercare guidance
Before you leave, Jody will give you practical aftercare advice — particularly around hydration — and what to expect in the hours following the session.

Lymphatic drainage — questions answered
What is lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that uses light, rhythmic strokes to support the body's natural fluid circulation and drainage processes. It's quite different to sports or deep tissue massage — much slower and lighter in approach.
How is it different from sports massage?
Sports massage works deep into muscle tissue using firm pressure. Lymphatic drainage uses very light touch, targeting the lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin rather than muscle. The two treatments serve different purposes and feel completely different.
Is it painful?
No. Lymphatic drainage uses very gentle pressure — it is one of the lighter massage treatments available. Most clients find it deeply relaxing rather than intense.
Who is lymphatic drainage suitable for?
It may suit people who feel heavy, sluggish or puffy, or those looking for a gentle, circulation-focused treatment. If you have any health conditions, check with your GP before booking — Jody is happy to discuss suitability when you get in touch.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable, loose clothing. Depending on the areas being treated, you may be asked to undress partially, but you'll remain covered throughout and Jody will explain what's needed before the session starts.
How do I book?
