I encounter many clients who are post-surgery and who have never received any instruction by their general physicians or surgeons to seek massage therapy and acupuncture as an integral and necessary part of their post-surgery treatment. I don't know whether this information is not made available at universities or whether the consequences of neglecting to inform patients is not fully appreciated. The result is that the post-surgery population is suffering needlessly in pain for months and years because of muscle adhesions, guarding muscles and scar tissues and its resulting consequences of reduced range of motion. Therapeutic massage and acupuncture has been scientifically proven to assist in solving these type of post-surgery issues. There is always enormous swelling and reduced flexibility and stiffness following surgery. The incision site and the underlying adhesions to muscle tissue and fascia because of tension, displacement, and cutting/suturing create scar tissue. It is vital that that incision site and joints be massaged after 7 days of healing. Of course pressure and intensity of massage will be light at first and will increase as time goes on helping to reduce swelling, redness, and pain. Feel free to call with any Questions regarding your treatment. 239-542-5600 |
