Pre & Post Surgery Massage

Pre and Post surgery massages and therapies both include a variety of modalities to get the patient ready for surgery, and help with the recovery from surgery.

Pre surgical therapy that we offer includes, but is not limited to Swedish, MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage), and MPS (Micro-current Point Stimulation) Therapy. In the case of the MPS or Swedish massage, these treatments may be done anytime within the week prior to the surgery to help the patient relax and feel calm towards the upcoming procedure.

As far as the MLD, it could be done just once or twice prior to the surgery, but it has been found that a series of treatments which are done each day for five days prior to the surgery, helps to clean out the lymphatic system, prepare the circulatory system and help with smoother surgical procedures. This is especially true when it comes to cosmetic surgeries.

Post surgery massage and therapies also include a variety of modalities but focus on helping the patient heal and recover quickly, or at least quicker than if they hadn’t gotten treatment. Many times, it drastically speeds up recovery time.

Post surgery therapies that we offer also includes, but is not limited to Swedish, MLD, MPS, as well as myofascial work and stretching.

MLD can be done usually within a day or two of the surgery and MPS can be done about two days to a week after surgery.

MLD is definitely done daily for five days post surgery, especially after cosmetic surgeries. This is done to help disperse accumulated fluids and ease bruising.
