Lymphatic drainage massage setting at Spa Chevy Chase in Chevy Chase, Maryland

Coming from Friendship Heights

Friendship Heights sits at the DC–Maryland line and we are a short way further into Chevy Chase, which makes a 30 or 60-minute booking practical on a weekday.

If you are going straight back to work, book the shorter option and say so. If you have the afternoon, the longer ones cover more ground and there is no reason to rush it.

Book lymphatic drainage

What the hour is like

Light, repetitive, slow. Some people find it deeply relaxing and some find it too gentle to hold their attention. Both reactions are common and neither means it went wrong.

It is a spa treatment. It does not treat lymphoedema and it is not post-surgical care. Where a doctor is involved in your situation, they should be consulted before you book.

Thirty minutes is offered

Short enough for a weekday, if you allow travel each way.

Slow and repetitive

Some find it deeply relaxing, some find it too gentle. Both are normal.

Draped throughout

You undress to your comfort. Tell the therapist what you prefer.

Good to know

Before you book

Will I feel a difference straight away?

Some people feel lighter within the day. Others notice very little, and that is a normal outcome rather than a failed appointment.

Can I book a short session on a work day?

Yes — 30 minutes is offered. Allow travel each way on top of it.

Do I need to undress fully?

You undress to your comfort and are draped throughout. Tell the therapist what you prefer.

Can I walk here from Friendship Heights?

Yes, it is a short walk from that end, which is why the shorter appointment works on a work day.

Is this better on a busy day or a quiet one?

A busy day, if you want the hour to be the calm part of it. A quiet day if you would rather not go anywhere afterwards.

Is it disappointing if I feel nothing?

No, and it is worth saying so at your next appointment. What you did or did not feel changes what your provider does next time.

How short is the shortest appointment?

Short enough for a work day. The booking page lists each length with its price, so you can match it to the gap you have.

Can I keep my socks on?

Yes. Say what you would rather keep on before starting and it is simply worked around.

Where do I leave my things?

In the room with you. Nothing needs to be left elsewhere.

Will my hair or make-up be affected?

Not usually, but say if either matters for the rest of your day and your provider will work around it.

Can I book at the same time each week?

Ask about a standing appointment when you book. Regular slots hold better than ones rebooked each time.

Is it worth booking if I only have half an hour?

Yes. Half an hour is a real appointment rather than a compromise, and your provider will use it on what matters most.

Do I need to change back into work clothes in a hurry?

Leave a few minutes at the end. Rushing the last part of the appointment is the part people regret.

Can I eat straight afterwards?

Yes. There is nothing to wait for.

Should I book this or a full massage?

Say what you want to change. If it is tight muscles, this is not the appointment; if it is feeling heavy or puffy, it may be.

Is it suitable if I am on my feet all day?

Mention it when you arrive. It changes which areas your provider spends the time on.

Can I book a short appointment for someone else?

Yes. Book in their name so anything they tell the provider is recorded correctly.

What if I have a cold?

Move the appointment. Call rather than coming and deciding at the door.

Do you need to know about medication?

Yes, particularly anything affecting circulation or the immune system. Mention it even if it seems unrelated.

How do I book, and how far ahead?

Through the button on this page. Weekday slots often come up within a few days; the ones either side of lunch go first.
