Post-Surgery Lymphatic Drainage in Newcastle

Post-Surgery Lymphatic Drainage in Newcastle

post surgery manual lymphatic drainageAt Naturally Heaven Therapy in Newcastle, we specialise in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to support your post-operative recovery. Our gentle, non-invasive techniques help reduce swelling, prevent fibrosis, and promote optimal healing following various surgical procedures.

Why Choose Lymphatic Drainage After Surgery?

Reduce Swelling (Oedema)

Surgical procedures, while beneficial, can disrupt the lymphatic system, leading to fluid accumulation and swelling. MLD stimulates lymph flow, aiding in the removal of excess fluids and reducing oedema, which can otherwise impede healing and cause discomfort.

Prevent Fibrosis

Post-surgical inflammation can lead to the development of fibrosis—hard, lumpy tissue formations that may affect mobility and aesthetic outcomes. Regular lymphatic drainage treatments can help prevent or minimise fibrosis by enhancing lymph circulation and facilitating tissue regeneration.

Enhance Scar Healing

Once surgical incisions have fully closed and healed (typically after 4–6 weeks), MLD can be safely applied to scar areas. This promotes better scar tissue remodeling, improves skin texture, and reduces tightness or discomfort associated with scarring.

Phase 1: Initial Recovery (Starting 3–5 Days Post-Surgery)

In this phase, we focus on gentle lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and discomfort. Depending on individual needs
