With surgical trauma, your body has more fluid to drain than it has the capacity to manage. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) helps the body process and eliminate extra swelling in less time than without intervention. A certified lymphatic therapist can assist by manually increasing your lymphatic capacity and rerouting swelling to areas of less congestion.
This may also require routing swelling around scars that may be impairing the path of lymphatic vessels. MLD will decrease pain, scar tissue and hardening of tissues. Your surgeon will advise you of the massage frequency you need initially. We will then work together to determine further frequency depending on how your body responds to treatment.
