My mentor swore by using ice rollers before lymphatic drainage

She told me to always start with an ice roller for 2 minutes before any facial massage. Tried it on a client with bad puffiness last Tuesday and her results were way better than when I skip it. Anyone else find this step makes a difference?

Cold tightens everything up first so the drainage work actually has something to grab onto.

Tried a cold compress first and it made a big difference for me.

@oscarc53 is dead on with that. My buddy tried skipping the ice roller one time and said the massage felt like it wasn't doing much. Next session he did the cold first again and saw way better results. It just makes everything respond better.
