A Closer Look at Post-Operative Lymphatic Therapy
Post-operative lymphatic therapy is a gentle, hands-on treatment that helps your lymphatic system move excess fluid out of the body after surgery. When lymphatic flow is slowed, swelling can linger, and your tissues may feel heavy or restricted. This therapy addresses these concerns using light, precise techniques to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing process.
