Clinical Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialized therapeutic technique aimed at promoting recovery after surgical procedures and prep before your surgery

Pre-Operative Lymphatic Drainage Prep sessions:

• Pre-operative manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) sessions are an essential part of preparing your body for surgery. Typically just one to three sessions done the week to two weeks prior to your surgery are all that are needed.

• These sessions allow us to assess your baseline lymphatic function and identify areas where lymph flow may be sluggish. By gently stimulating the lymphatic system before surgery, we help improve circulation and “prime” your body to manage the natural fluid and inflammation that occur during the healing process.

• This preparation can help reduce post-operative swelling, discomfort, and recovery time. During your pre-op sessions, we’ll also review your goals, plan your recovery timeline, and determine how many post-operative MLD treatments may be needed. Scheduling these in advance ensures you receive consistent care without interruptions.

• Supporting your lymphatic system before surgery creates the foundation for a smoother, more comfortable healing experience.

Pro Tips for a successful post-op experience :

• Book your MLD sessions before your procedure, finding a trained provider at the last minute can be a challenge. If you come for a pre-op session we can schedule these for you while you are here.. or you can schedule your pre and post op sessions on line ahead of your procedure.

• Purchase your compression garments before your procedure, some fajas might need to be custom fitted and made which can take few weeks.
