Face, Head, and Neck Lymphatic Drainage Routine
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 04. 2023
- Lymphatic drainage is one of the primary treatments for lymphedema or swelling to the face, head, and neck. Some get lymphedema because they have lymph nodes removed for surgery, they may have had damage due to an injury or radiation, or some may have lymphedema due to genetic reasons. Follow along for a FULL manual lymphatic drainage (lymphatic drainage massage) routine for head, neck, and the face. I am going to show an entire lymphatic drainage routine for the face, head, and neck that someone can follow along with, and explain which direction to try and move towards if you have lymphedema or swelling.

I don't have lymphedema, I started doing this because I'm insecure that my face looks fat in general. I've had darn under eye circles for years and now after just doing this for a couple of days my eye circles are fading and I feel like my face is less fat & ugly. Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Hi, thanks for your comment. I've read so many comments about spot reduction online and most people say it's impossible to reduce face fat without actively losing weight everywhere else. Your comment reassures me that they might just be wrong, and there's no single manual for every person. I'm on a weight gain journey but I want to gain weight everywhere else except my face. I'm hoping this would work to keep my face fat in check while I actively gain weight everywhere else.
I have a body sculpting business and we do lymphatic massages on face and body. It really does help!
Gentle reminder you are absolutely gorgeous ☀️💓
Did you do this everyday or like twice in a week?
That's why I want to learn this
For years, I’ve had a lopsided double chin, it has made me very self-conscious. My left side was larger than my right side. I tried your video, looked in the mirror that next morning and I was amazed at how the swelling/inflammation had went down. My face and neck area are now symmetrical. Thank you so much for your video.
This video changed my life by the way!
This absolutely helped my sore throat and congestion, thank you for this intelligent, well-paced guide
I am also dealing with sore throat and swollen lymph glands. I noticed it most yesterday, but have been struggling for over a month with this problem. If I don’t see relief soon, I will go to the doctor. I just like to try natural ways of dealing with the issues.
I agree….so well paced, calm and quite frankly soothing to my Spirit!
@@ThePrsRtstsame here it’s so annoying. When i swallow my ear hurts but when i do these massages i notice a lot of mucus comes out when i do it in the morning . I will do it morning and night now because I don’t want to go to a doctor for them to prescribe me something that will just numb it and not actually heal.
Had a serious middle ear infection, lymph nodes swollen and neck was sore. This technique helped immensely and could even hear my ear popped as fluid in the lymph vessels started to be guided down. Hydrotherapy really helps the lymph vessels as well.
i didnt realize until watching your video that i was massaging too hard and getting into the muscle which i guess is not recommended for lymphatic drainage, thankyou very much for making this!
This was great, it worked perfectly! Love to see PT content out on youtube!
You are very professional, calm and able to explain your techniques in a very clear way. I am a healthy 51 years old woman who wants to age healthily and I believe that taking care of my linphatic system is an important way for preserving good health. Thank you sp much for sharing your knowledge in these wonderful videos!
I am a stage 4 lymphoma survivor and I remember the hospital PT came by to do lymph node drainage massage with me while during rounds. It was great! She also had shared a full body routine, but the idea was the same, start outwards and gently push towards the place of drainage. On a side note, your voice is so calming, and the massage was so soothing, I about fell asleep xD I'll be trying this routine every night!
Any update?did it work?
The sophistication of God's created human body is nothing short of incredible! I had no idea what the lymph system was or its importance. Amazing topic wonderfully illuminated by your videos. Thx!!
Love this an Lymphatic drainage is amazing.
You are amazing. For over a year, I struggled with lymphatic issues and the doctors were no help. Between you and Dr Perry Nickleson’s videos, I learned a lot on my own before finally connecting with a competent doctor who referred me to a lymphedema clinic, where I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Lipedema. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. You are truly out here changing lives and providing much needed information, support & resources to so many folks who are desperate and have gotten no other help. God Bless 💕
Thank you. I just thank you so much. I have had severe tonsillitis with massive lymph node swelling in my lower jaw. Antibiotics, by mouth, IM and IV with IM and by mouth steroids. Can barely swallow and cannot eat anything. Been like this with little improvement. I remembered your channel and just finished this video and the pressure is almost completely gone and the pain level now down from an “8” to “2!” Thank you thank you…still cannot swallow well at all but the pressure relief is a gift! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. I have felt awful for days and feel much better! ❤
This did SO MUCH good on the FIRST time. I have therapy starting October 26, but, I needed relief NOW! THANK YOU for this video!
Thank you so much for sharing 🌷
Thank you. I've never done this before and I feel something 'going on' in those areas now. (smile)
Thank you so much! You're an angel
Perfect!! Thank you so much. 🧡
Thank you I appreciate your videos.
Thank you so much - this is awesome!
I woke up feeling sore right under my chin so I did this and it helped a lot!
This is extremely helpful ❤ thanks so much!
Heartfelt regards from Switzerland
Thank you for your free knowledge blessings to you 🙏
This has been helpful for me to reduce swelling after jaw surgery!
Great work thanks
Just what I needed. Thanks for sharing
I love you can share this info, I had ve like therapist 34 years and no all people can have access to this info and need help
Thank you, Kelly! I'm in rehab following Head & Neck surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy for squamous cell mouth and jaw cancer. My rehab therapist recommended this video, and it's fantastic. So useful. I can simply follow along with you every day and work on my lymphodema. I cannot express my appreciation enough!
I’m so happy it helped!! Sending you my best with your rehab!
Thank you for this video.@@CancerRehabPT
Very helpful. Thanks.
I found you because someone in my vestibular migraine groups follows you and found this particular regimen to help her migraines! God bless you
Thank you for making this video 📹 💜
This definitely works,straight away too!
Thank you this is so helpful. I had head and neck radiation so this is what I need right now
Bless you. I have an abscessed tooth and have hard swollen ln and this gives me relief until I have my appt for extraction.
This absolutely does work! My neck was swollen, looked like I had a double chin lol..neck swelling went down 😊. Thank you!
Hi Kelly, I don't have any health conditions currently. I am 25, & focusing to aim for a healthy lifestyle passing just exercise and better eating. I am intrigued with reflexology and begun looking into that to bring into routine, and caught wind of lymphic massages and I have concerns within what health issues I can genetically gain. Heart problems, breast and that one cancer that some people end up w a pee bag attachment. So, I'm aiming towards active prevention. :) n I hope overall lymphic drainage and full body focus will do me good. Happy to find your channel.
Thank you! ❤
Thank you for All you do to help us !❤❤❤
You’re so incredibly welcome! I love helping when I can 😊
Thank you so much, helped my throat & ear ache out a lot.
I just finished and my face feels ten pounds lighter. Thank you!!
What about puffy eyes?
1:59 (just a reminder cause i come back everyday)
I have strep rn and a swollen lymph node in the right side of my neck, this helped so much, my throat is still sore of course but so much less painful and it’s no longer tender when I touch my neck where the lymph node is! Thanks!
Hi Kelly!
Thank you for all your wonderul videos.
Do you offer online continuing education courses?
I am a massage therapist and have always wanted to learn more about the lymphatic system and how to help clients and myself.
Love from Texas 🤠
i love this. it is really calming and nice lymphatic drainage routine
i've linked Kelly's videos to my friends - admittedly, it was for cosmetic purposes at first when i came upon this site, but there is much more to lymph drainage
Is there a benefit to people doing this that don't have an issue that causes buildup, or would they not need it?
Thank you Kelly. Your quality of presentation adds to our patient's wellbeing and care.

I love that you're sitting here researching ways to help your patients understand 🥰
Do you recommend any eye patches for swelling around the eyes. I just ran across your videos. Bought the dry brushes for the body. Thank you for your thoughtful content!❤️
thank you
Amazing! My face used to be oval in my 30s and 40s and then starting getting more 'square' with a heavy second chin. After using a TENS machine on my neck and face area for about a week, and then adding this routine for a few days nowk I swear my face is going back to oval!!! thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!! 🙏
Thank you Kelly I’m aTNBC 2 years survivor. Love you educational videos. I do them everyday. Love all your explanations along with one instructions.
oh that makes my day to hear! I am so glad you have found them helpful and I hope you're doing well!
I had some venous malformation in my right cheek, and it always pains a lot when I get cold, and my right face will be swollen. I tried the exercise immediately, and the pain was reduced. I feel so good after it
I found this video while I was looking for ways to alleviate swelling in my neck lymph nodes. They have been really painful. After doing these exercises, my pain has gone from a 4 to a 1. Not only that, I feel very relaxed now.
thats awesome
I have lymphatic acne so I hope this helps ❤
Thank you ❤
Hii Kelly...I was suffering from throat lymphonodes these massages really work for that...
Thank you💕
I’m hoping this will help as I suffer bad with aero sinusitis
Thank you 🙏
You’re so welcome!
As a head neck (paritod gland) cancer survivor I love this video for lymphedema. My swelling is mild but my jaw remains very tight. How often do I do the drainage therapy, daily or 2-3 times each day. My swelling is very mild on th surface but m therapist said it could worsen months, years later. I want to be proactive rather than reactive. Thank you.
Thanks Kelly💕🙂
You’re welcome! 😊
If there is swelling in one side of the face/neck area is it best to sleep on that same side for better lymph drainage at night?
I did I start next Thursday
This video provides a comprehensive lymphatic drainage routine for the face, head, and neck, offering practical techniques and insightful explanations. It empowers viewers with the knowledge to address lymphedema effectively while emphasizing the importance of individualized care and professional guidance.
Thank you for all your help ❤
I had had a swollen neck, legs, feet and also big puppy eyes due to hyper tyroid.
I have followed your instructions to drain the lymph everyday before going to bed for almost 2 months and the result is insane. My overall health has improved. My friends all tell me that I am now looking younger, slimmer.
I have a question, every time I drain the lymph, the liquid will come out from my right breast? What's happening with my right breast? Your kind response would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
❤❤ thank you
Please where does the edema start,from the fingers or the arm ?ls ituseful to put ice on the hand ?
I only have lymphedema on the side where my lymph nodes were removed. Should I do the massage on areas where my lymph nodes have been removed?
Thank you he lunphois swallowing unswer my Jaws for some days and trying this very helpful
Will this help with swollen lymph nodes if done daily in the morning? And could i follow with some face yoga/massage afterwards? Thank you
Hi Kelly
2 weeks ago I just had blepharoplasty underneath my eyes also the Dr removed some of the skin as well and tight the area that caused my eyes watered for about 5-6 days does that caused lymph drainage / swelling underneath my eyes right above my both cheeks? Or the surgery itself caused that?
How many times a day I should do this treatment and for how many minutes each times and do I need to put pressure on it while I'm done it, also how long will it take for me to see the results?
Please reply to all my questions and thank you in advance
I have head and ne k lymphodema from having cancer on my tongue. Is there anything that can be done to aid help with lymphodema in the tongue. I'm talking about the free flap that was constructed from my wrist and is now the left side of my tongue. I notice it's quite swollen in the morning and takes until early evening to be at its best. It hinders my speech. Thank you, your videos are really encouraging.
Do you have massage movement specific for Malar Edema ???
Hi, thanks for this video. If you don't mind my asking, I'd love to know if lymphatic drainage is a form of spot reduction? I've read so many comments about spot reduction online and most people say it's impossible to reduce face fat without actively losing weight everywhere else. I'm on a weight gain journey but I want to gain weight everywhere else except my face. I'm hoping this would work to keep my face fat in check while I actively gain weight everywhere else. What do you advise?
Hi! I’ve heard that if you have Hashimoto’s you have to skip the neck lymph notes. Is that true?
Czy ten drenaż jest bezpieczny przy trądziku różowatym?
I'm so glad I found your channel. I do not have standard lymphedema-- I have a genetic condition with my immune system affecting my lymphatic drainage.
Certain parts of my immune system that are supposed to neutralize debris/toxins/detritus from infection, environment, etc, do not work. Thus, my body has to rely solely on the lymphatic system to transmit these through my body quickly in their still "toxic" forms. I have to undertake multiple types of therapy to accelerate lymph clearance as a result or else I tend to suffer central nervous system and cognitive issues. I'm hopeful your massage techniques will help.
My system tends to get blocked especially on the left side of my neck, causing a lot of muscle pain until the transit completes. I am looking forward to trying this to see if it helps. There is no "official name" for this condition yet but it is due to an HLA mutation and tends to require a lot of dietary binders, avoiding certain foods, sauna and compression therapy, massage, and lymphatic drainage.
Thank you for taking the time to teach these techniques to everyone. 💜
Thank you so much for sharing! I also hope these videos are helpful for you! 🙂
I don't have any lymph nodes in front of neck all 400 hundred were removed when I had Head & Neck cancer surgery in 2021
So would I still work the front neck area?
I did this in attempt to help some mystery illness the doctor's have yet to diagnose. It's been over 2 months. I do feel better as I was able to decrease some swelling in my throat. Thank you! 🙏
Do you have any more advice for swelling accompanied by a discolored tongue (green, yellow, white) and sore throat? It's not responding to thrush mediciations so I'm at a loss. I just want to feel normal again.
Wow after doing this following you my entire face got so hot sweating cool down and felt calming
Should this be done on someone with no symptoms? Just basic maintenance of the lymphatic system?
Was wondering the same
Good question. Can anyone do it for maintenance purpose.
Basic maintenance automatically happens through a 10 minute brisk walk each day, for example. Just moving about. Only if through surgery or radiation therapy for cancer the lymp nodes were removed and/or damaged, you need to help the system with massage.
How to apply this treatment?its every day?
How many times a month do I do this ?
Brilliant tx
Hello,ihad post liposuction of chin since 2months ago,lm still have a swelling look like atunnels,please for your openion.
Work for facelift? And how often
Can I do this where there is a lymphatic vascular malformation on the neck ? Fairly big lump ( 8.9 cm ) approximately?
Hi will this massage can get did of lymphoma? please please reply
My father has got swollen on face and lips after 2 years of radiation therapy I'm doing this massage on his face but after 10 swelling comes back. Please guide and please tell in how many days he will improve 🙏🏻
Thanks :)!!
Do you have to do it slow like this?
I am trying this but she never mentions swelling in the throat. Do I work it up toward the chin or down toward the chest. Large turkey neck at the larynx
I don’t have the lymph…. Can i do this after surgery to help drainage? And once the drainage stop is it okay to keep doing this for the swelling and lumps I now have in face and back after surgery
Is it ok to do these massages daily? Twice daily? What is recommended
I don’t have any lymphatic issues but when I did this I ended up almost passing out- sweats and nausea seeing spots .. I wonder if this has to do with the fact that I felt the fluid moving? Any advice!?
How frequently?
Sometimes while moisturizing my neck in the morning one side (just under my ear) is a little “painful “ to touch. Is this a lymph node thing? Obviously I know nothing about this subject but I just got rid of 75% of the discomfort doing your exercise.
Can I use a gua sha for that?
