What Is Post Operative Lymphatic Massage?
Post operative lymphatic massage is a specialised, light-pressure technique used after surgeries such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast augmentation. This gentle manual massage stimulates your lymphatic and blood circulation, which helps to manage swelling, accelerate healing, and provide significant relief from pain or stiffness. The approach is soft and caring,never painful,that's especially important when your body is sensitive after an operation.
Benefits of Post Operative Lymphatic Massage in Richmond
