At Kneads Massage, post-surgery lymphatic massage is a therapeutic technique designed to support the body’s healing after surgery by helping clear excess fluids, cellular waste, and metabolic byproducts. Commonly recommended following procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, or orthopedic surgeries, this gentle massage encourages the natural flow of lymph fluid, which can otherwise become sluggish and lead to swelling, inflammation, and discomfort.
By stimulating the lymphatic system with light, rhythmic movements, post-surgery massage helps reduce post-surgical swelling, alleviate bruising, and decrease the risk of complications like fibrosis (scar tissue formation). This approach promotes faster and smoother recovery and helps patients feel more comfortable and regain mobility sooner.
