ADAVANCED POST SURGERY RECOVERY TREATMENT

Post-surgery lymphatic drainage is a crucial part of the recovery process for anyone recently undergoing surgery. This technique helps to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain by promoting the circulation of lymphatic fluids throughout the body. Lymphatic drainage massage can also help speed up the healing process, increase mobility, and improve overall comfort during recovery. By encouraging the natural flow of lymphatic fluids, patients can experience a range of benefits that can help them recover more quickly and effectively from surgery.

WHAT IS POST SURGERY LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?

Post-surgery lymphatic drainage is a technique that helps to reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain by promoting the circulation of lymphatic fluids throughout the body. This type of massage is typically performed by a licensed therapist with specialised training in lymphatic drainage techniques. The massage involves gentle, rhythmic movements encouraging the natural flow of lymphatic fluids through the lymphatic system.

Post-surgery lymphatic drainage can be particularly beneficial for patients who have undergone plastic surgery, as it can help to reduce swelling and promote healing. It can also be helpful for patients who have experienced other types of surgery, such as joint replacement or abdominal surgery.

During the massage, the therapist will use various techniques to help reduce swelling and inflammation, including gentle strokes, light pressure, and rhythmic tapping. They may also use specialised equipment, such as a lymphatic drainage machine, to help stimulate lymphatic flow.

It is important to note that a licensed therapist who has received specialised training in lymphatic drainage techniques should always perform post-surgery lymphatic drainage. The number of sessions required will vary depending on the type of surgery and the individual patient’s needs. It is essential to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if post-surgery lymphatic drainage is appropriate for your recovery.
