The lymphatic system removes toxins, excess fluids, and useless cellular byproducts. Since it <strong>does not have its own \u201cpump\u201d<\/strong>, lymph flow depends on muscle movement and breathing. When this slows down (sedentary lifestyle, post-surgery, injuries), <strong>fluid retention<\/strong>, local swelling, and a feeling of heaviness in the limbs appear. Lymphatic massage reactivates this flow and relieves tissue congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image5452_9ca491-41 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image5452_9ca491-41 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/athensmassagecenter.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/\u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc-\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03ac\u03b6-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\u039b\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc M\u03b1\u03c3\u03ac\u03b6 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bb\u03b9\u03ac\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-5010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/athensmassagecenter.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/\u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc-\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03ac\u03b6-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/athensmassagecenter.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/\u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc-\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03ac\u03b6-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/athensmassagecenter.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/\u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc-\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03ac\u03b6-768x513.webp 768w, https:\/\/athensmassagecenter.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/\u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc-\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03ac\u03b6-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/athensmassagecenter.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/\u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc-\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03ac\u03b6-1200x800.webp 1200w, https:\/\/athensmassagecenter.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/\u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc-\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03ac\u03b6.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is it Done?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Lymphatic massage is performed with <strong>very gentle and rhythmic movements<\/strong> on the surface of the skin, not with deep pressure on the muscles.
