With physicians approval, light work can be started as early as 24 hours after surgery to help reduce inflammation. Pre and post-operative bodywork also helps to improve joint flexibility, combats stress and anxiety, prevents scar tissue build-up, gives more oxygen to the blood, and bolsters your immune system. A massage post-surgery is often a vital form of treatment. Techniques, including lymphatic drainage, therapeutic massage, and deep tissue massage are often employed to promote healing.
