Common questions

Do you work directly on surgical incisions or push fluid out through them?

No. We never reopen incisions or push fluid directly out through surgical sites.

Our specialized techniques work with your body's natural lymphatic drainage pathways. Think of it like redirecting traffic around a construction zone rather than trying to force it through.

This approach is not only safer for your healing incisions, but it's also more effective because we're supporting how your lymphatic system is actually designed to function.

Many clients are relieved to learn that proper lymphatic drainage should feel gentle and soothing, not invasive or uncomfortable.

Is post-operative lymphatic drainage painful?

No. Our technique uses extremely gentle pressureโ€”similar to the weight of a nickelโ€”specifically designed for healing tissues. Most clients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing, even in the early stages of recovery.

The gentle approach is precisely what makes it effective for post-surgical care.

How many sessions will I need?

Most surgical recoveries benefit from a series of 6-12 treatments, with the exact number depending on your specific procedure, how your body responds, and your recovery goals.

After your initial assessment, we'll recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Do I need my surgeon's approval before treatment?

We recommend confirming with your surgeon that manual lymphatic drainage is appropriate for your specific recovery.

Many surgeons actually prescribe or recommend our services as part of their post-operative protocols. We're happy to communicate directly with your surgical team to ensure coordinated care.

How is this different from the massage I'd get at a spa?

Post-operative manual lymphatic drainage is a highly specialized technique that requires specific training in surgical recovery.

The pressure is much lighter than regular massage, and the methodology focuses on the lymphatic system's pathways. Regular massage therapists without post-op training may actually harm surgical results by using improper techniques or pressure.

Will I still need to wear my compression garment?

Yes, manual lymphatic drainage complements compression rather than replacing it.

We'll work with your surgeon's recommendations regarding compression garments, often recommending you wear them to your appointment and put them back on immediately after treatment.

Can this help if I'm weeks or months post-surgery and still having issues?

Yes, manual lymphatic drainage can be beneficial even months after surgery, especially if you're experiencing prolonged swelling, hardened areas, or uneven results.

While starting early in recovery is ideal, we successfully treat many clients who come to us later in their healing process.

Ready to transform your recovery experience?

We typically book 2-3 weeks in advance. If you are in early post-operative recovery and need more immediate care, please mention this when contacting us, as we reserve space for urgent post-surgical clients.

Our practitioners combine specialized training with years of hands-on experience to help you overcome pain, inflammation, and mobility challenges that conventional approaches haven't resolved.
