Mckenzie Remedial Massage

Have you been told to sleep sitting up after surgery?

If you have, you'll probably know exactly what I'm talking about.

Your scar might be healing well, but suddenly your ribs, neck or shoulders start aching from the awkward sleeping position. Your tummy still feels swollen or numb, and you wonder if it's all part of the process.

These are some of the most common things my post-surgery clients tell me.

The good news is that, from around 7 days after surgery (providing your surgeon is happy with your recovery), Manual Lymphatic Drainage can often help.

It isn't a deep massage and it doesn't involve pressing on your scar. The treatment uses very gentle, light movements to encourage your lymphatic system to move excess fluid away from the area.

Many clients find this helps to:
• Reduce swelling
• Ease feelings of tightness and heaviness
• Improve comfort as they move around
• Relieve some of the aches that come from protecting the surgical area and sleeping in unfamiliar positions

Every recovery is different, which is why treatment is always tailored to how you're healing and how you're feeling on the day.

If you're around a week after surgery and you're feeling swollen, uncomfortable or wondering whether what you're experiencing is normal, please get in touch. I'd be happy to talk through whether Manual Lymphatic Drainage is the right next step for you.

When you have muscle pain, the muscles tense and painful adhesions form, causing restrictions, giving you that "ouch" moment when you try to move.

Muscles which are strained in this way may inflame from a build-up of toxins which can reduce circulation. The good news is that my remedial massage therapy works by encouraging the body's natural healing process. I apply pressure and friction to the muscle fibres to break down the painful adhesions and release tension.

The therapy results in; reduced pain, improved circulation and natural healing. Helping your muscles return to full normal function.

When you find yourself struggling with pain, drop me a message to arrange a remedial massage therapy session. Let's get you back on the road to healing.

If you or someone you know is undergoing surgery soon, you might want to consider massage as part of your recovery.

I actually get referrals from surgeons on a regular basis. It is well documented that lymphatic drainage can really help post surgery.

Fluid retention is the most common reason come to me after surgery but the massage also helps with scarring and general wellbeing.
