Coming from Kensington
Kensington is close by within Montgomery County, and the trip to Chevy Chase is short enough that a 30-minute booking is still worth making if that is what your day allows.
Weekend bookings from here are common. If you have time afterwards rather than somewhere to rush to, take it — the effect of the appointment settles over a few hours rather than ending at the door.
Book lymphatic drainageChoosing a length
Four lengths are offered, from 30 to 90 minutes. A shorter booking covers less of the body; it is not a lighter version of the same thing.
Say what you want addressed at the start and the therapist will tell you honestly whether the time you have booked is enough for it. Sometimes the answer is to book longer next time rather than to rush this one.
Say the goal first
The therapist will tell you honestly whether the time booked reaches it.

Good to know
Before you book
Is 30 minutes long enough?
For a focused area, often yes. For a full-body sequence, no.
Describe the goal when you book and we will say which length fits it.
Should I drink water afterwards?
It is sensible, and most people want to anyway. Nobody should promise you that it flushes toxins — that is not what is happening.
Is it suitable during pregnancy?
Ask your prenatal provider first, and tell us you are pregnant when you book so positioning and suitability can be discussed.
How long is the drive from Kensington?
About fifteen minutes outside the peaks. Connecticut Avenue around five is the stretch to avoid.
If thirty minutes is short, what does a longer appointment add?
Time on more of the body rather than a stronger version of the same thing. Your provider can tell you which areas would benefit from the extra time.
What does the extra time in a longer appointment go on?
More of the body rather than a firmer version of the same thing. Your provider can say which areas would use it.
I am pregnant. Can I book?
Tell us when you book, not when you arrive. Whether it is appropriate depends on your stage and your own doctor's view, and both need to be known in advance.
What does my doctor need to tell me?
Whether massage is appropriate at your stage and whether there is anything to avoid. Bring that answer with you rather than asking your provider to guess.
Is there a different appointment for pregnancy?
Ask when you book. There is more than one option and which suits depends on your stage.
Will I feel tired for the drive back?
Some people feel very relaxed afterwards. Sit for a minute before setting off rather than leaving straight from the table.
Will I need the bathroom more than usual?
Some people do. It is worth knowing before a drive home rather than during it.
Can I book a short appointment on my way somewhere else?
Yes, and the shorter option suits that. Leave a little more time than the appointment length for parking and settling.
Does it matter what I eat beforehand?
Something light rather than a large meal. Beyond that it makes little difference.
What should I do for the rest of the day?
Nothing strenuous straight afterwards if you can avoid it. Your provider will mention anything else before you leave.
Can I bring my own music?
Ask at the start. Most people find the room quiet enough as it is.
Is it suitable if I have low blood pressure?
Mention it when you book. It changes how you should get up at the end more than it changes the appointment.
Can I book for my mother?
Yes. Book in her name so what she tells the provider is recorded against the right person.
What if I need to cancel?
Call as early as you can. Ask about the notice period when you book so you know it before you need it.
Do you keep notes for next time?
Yes, so a second appointment starts from what happened at the first rather than from the beginning.
How do I book, and what if I am pregnant?
Book through the button on this page, and if you are pregnant say so when booking rather than on arrival so the right appointment is set up.
