LYMPHATIC
THERAPY
At The Metabolic Studio, lymphatic therapy is one of our most popular and most requested services — and for good reason. Using a specialised pressotherapy compression suit, this gentle, non-invasive treatment works with your body's own systems to support circulation, reduce fluid retention, and promote a sense of lightness and wellbeing.
Whether you are on our weight management program, recovering from physical exertion, managing a busy lifestyle, or simply wanting to feel better in your body — lymphatic therapy sessions are tailored to your individual needs and goals.
WHAT IS LYMPHATIC THERAPY?
Lymphatic therapy, also known as pressotherapy, is a non-invasive treatment that supports the body's natural lymphatic system. Using a specialised compression suit, gentle rhythmic pressure is applied to the legs and lower body to encourage lymphatic flow and circulation.
The lymphatic system plays an important role in fluid balance, immune health, and the body's natural waste-clearance processes. Unlike the cardiovascular system, it has no pump of its own — it relies on movement, muscle contraction, and manual or mechanical stimulation to function efficiently.
When the lymphatic system becomes sluggish — through inactivity, stress, dietary changes, or hormonal shifts — fluid and cellular waste can accumulate in the tissues. This can contribute to feelings of heaviness, puffiness, fatigue, and general discomfort.
Pressotherapy offers a supported, comfortable way to encourage the lymphatic system to work as it was designed to.
THE COMPRESSION SUIT
What Does the Suit Cover?
Our pressotherapy suit applies rhythmic compression across three key areas simultaneously:
Legs
Full leg coverage from foot to upper thigh
Abdomen
Gentle abdominal compression to support core lymphatic flow
Lower Body
Hip and gluteal zones for full lower-body coverage
WHO IT SUITS
Who Can Benefit?
Lymphatic therapy is suitable for a wide range of clients. You may find it particularly beneficial if you:
-
Experience persistent fluid retention or puffiness, particularly in the legs, abdomen, or lower body
-
Feel heaviness or discomfort in your legs after long periods of sitting or standing
-
Are on our weight management program and want to support your body through periods of change
-
Are in a stabilisation or maintenance phase and want to support body composition and circulation
-
Experience general fatigue, sluggishness, or a feeling of being physically "stuck"
-
Want to complement a skin health program with improved circulation and tissue health
-
Are simply looking for a relaxing, restorative session that supports your overall sense of wellbeing
Each client is individually assessed for suitability before commencing. If you have existing circulatory, cardiac, or inflammatory conditions, Samantha will discuss this with you at your consultation — and if this treatment isn't right for you, she will tell you honestly.
COMBINED WITH WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
How It Supports Your Weight Management Program
When the body undergoes change during a structured weight management program, fluid balance in the tissues can be temporarily affected. Some clients notice puffiness, bloating, or a sense of heaviness during particular phases of their program — particularly during the early weeks.
Lymphatic therapy sessions support the body's natural fluid-regulation processes, improve circulation, and many clients find they feel more comfortable and more physically at ease throughout their program as a result.
This is why so many of our weight management clients choose to incorporate lymphatic therapy sessions alongside their program — not as an optional luxury, but as a genuinely useful part of their journey.

YOUR SESSION
What to Expect
Sessions at The Metabolic Studio are comfortable, relaxing, and typically run between 30 and 45 minutes. You will be fitted into the pressotherapy compression suit, which gently inflates and deflates in a rhythmic sequence across the legs, abdomen, and lower body.
Most clients describe the sensation as deeply relaxing — similar to a slow, rhythmic massage. Sessions are conducted lying down in a private, comfortable treatment space. There is no downtime; you can return to normal activities immediately after.
Your first appointment will include a brief consultation with Samantha to confirm suitability and establish the right session frequency and protocol for your individual goals. Many clients book weekly or fortnightly depending on their program stage.
Lymphatic therapy sessions are available by appointment at The Metabolic Studio, Mount Hawthorn. Whether you are a current weight management client or booking as a standalone service, we would love to help.
