Frequently Asked Questions
-
When should I begin my post op care?Post op care can begin as early as 72 hours after surgery. Usually within 48 hours the pain stabilizes and will decrease with each passing day. Some clients prefer to receive treatments at home during the first week others wait until they can comfortably drive themselves to begin treatment.
-
How often should I schedule my treatment sessions?During the first week post op, the more frequently treatment can be administered the better. Clients who aim for 2-3 treatments a week notice improved outcomes faster. This, in combination with wearing a compression garment, taking brief walks and drinking lots of water will greatly reduce swelling and aid healing.
-
What tools do you use?Lymphatic drainage massage is performed manually over bare skin. In the case of post surgical care, other tools such as cupping, Gua Sha tools, warm stones, and Wood Therapy can be incorporated depending on the stage of healing and the type of tissue presented.
-
How many sessions do I need?There is no fixed number of treatment sessions because each client’s body heals at a different rate. Other factors such as diet, exercise, and water intake also play a role in this process. The aim is to reduce swelling, pain, bruising and soften any lumps so the tissue remains soft and pliable - allow that to be your guide. As swelling continues to decrease, you can begin to pare back the frequency of visits.
-
How long does the swelling last?Swelling may last anywhere from 3-6 months. Even afterwards, a client may experience increase in swelling. Factors such as diet, level of activity or exertion, quality of sleep, etc all impact swelling.
