support Your healing with post-op massage

• Your treatment starts with boosting full body lymphatic flow through an abdominal and neck massage.
• Gentle massage strokes are used in the swollen area to encourage lymphatic flow and reduce swelling. 
• Strokes reroute lymphatic flow away from lymph nodes and vessels affected by the surgery. 
• No lotion or oil is used. The therapist's hands give a light pressure in the direction of lymphatic flow. 
• The goal is to improve lymphatic function in the body thereby supporting recovery. 

Most clients begin one week after surgery (sooner, if surgeon approved.)

No, Certified Vodder MLD is gentle, yet effective at reducing discomfort and swelling. 

It will depend on your surgery and your goals. Many clients receive 1-2 massages per week for 6 weeks.
