Support your recovery after surgery with therapeutic massage. Reduce pain, manage scar tissue, restore mobility, and return to normal activities faster.

Post-surgical massage

Supporting Surgical Recovery

Surgery, even when successful, creates trauma to the body that requires time and support to heal. Massage therapy can be an important part of your post-surgical recovery plan, helping you heal faster and more completely.

After surgery, your body works overtime to repair tissues, manage inflammation, and restore function. Massage therapy supports these processes while addressing secondary issues like compensatory muscle tension, reduced mobility, and stress.

We work alongside your surgical team, following any restrictions or guidelines they've provided. Timing is important—we'll ensure you're appropriately healed before beginning massage therapy.

Surgery recovery benefits

How Massage Helps Recovery

  • Pain management — Reduces post-surgical discomfort naturally
  • Scar tissue management — Helps prevent adhesions and maintain tissue mobility
  • Reduced swelling — Promotes lymphatic drainage to decrease inflammation
  • Improved circulation — Enhances blood flow for faster healing
  • Restored mobility — Maintains and improves range of motion
  • Muscle tension relief — Addresses compensatory patterns from guarding
  • Stress reduction — Supports mental wellness during recovery
  • Better sleep — Promotes rest essential for healing
Types of surgery

Surgeries We Support

We provide post-surgical massage support for many types of procedures:

  • Orthopedic surgeries (joint replacements, rotator cuff repair, ACL reconstruction)
  • Spinal surgeries
  • Abdominal surgeries
  • Cardiac surgeries (once cleared by your cardiologist)
  • Cesarean sections
  • Breast surgeries
  • Cosmetic procedures
  • General surgeries

Important: Always obtain clearance from your surgeon before beginning post-surgical massage therapy. We'll need to know about any restrictions, the type of procedure, and your current healing status.

Treatment Approach

Post-surgical massage progresses through phases as you heal:

Early phase: Gentle work away from the surgical site to reduce swelling, maintain circulation, and address compensatory tension.

Intermediate phase: Gradual work closer to the surgical area, beginning scar mobilization if appropriate, restoring range of motion.

Later phase: More comprehensive treatment including direct scar tissue work, deeper muscle therapy, and full rehabilitation support.

We coordinate with your surgeon, physiotherapist, or other healthcare providers to ensure massage therapy complements your overall recovery plan.
