Massages for Post-Op Recovery
If you want to get the most out of your surgery recovery, you should definitely consider post-operative massages. As its name suggests, post-operative massages are performed on those who have undergone a general surgery, orthopedic or plastic surgery and require a period of rest and rehabilitation.
What are Post-Operative Massages?
Post-operative massages are a gentle form of massages that increases blood flow and promote recovery by targeting the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps process waste and absorbs fluids. After surgery, these fluids can harden, which is often painful. Post-operative massages prevent and treat this hardening of fluids by reducing inflammation and promoting circulation to the affected area(s). The massages also serve as a tool to further promote the aesthetic you wish for yourself and aid in reducing things like scarring and discomfort.
