Congratulations! You are investing in your body and you want to get the best results to get you back on your feet, faster.

2. Budget for and book for one to two 60 minute treatments a week

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) for post-surgical recovery?

Your treatment starts with boosting full body lymphatic flow through an abdominal and neck massage

Gentle massage strokes are used in the swollen area to encourage lymphatic flow and reduce swelling

Strokes re-route lymphatic flow away from lymph nodes and vessels affected by the surgery

Note: No oil or lotion is used and hands are with a light pressure in the direction of the lymphatic flow

Here is a great blog on the importance of MLD post surgery

What can you expect?

Many clients feel less tight and heavy with the swelling reduction due to the MLD stimulation

Clients also feel less stressed and more relaxed after their treatment due to the relaxation response of the MLD treatment

With the MLD treatments, we are reducing the risk of fibrosis (thickening) around the scar and affected surgery area
Note: Once healed we can also look at MSTR Treatments to further reduced the scarring and softening the affected area, if needed.

Home Treatments

If you are physically to make it in to the Centre, then provided you are on the North Shore, I can arrange to come to your home for treatments. Think about this as part of your post care plan as you will need to contact me to confirm.
Please note the additional travel fee of up to $25 on top of the 60 minute treatment cost
