When can I have Manual Lymphatic Drainage after surgery?
It’s a question we’re often asked, and the answer is: it depends on you and your surgery.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) can form part of post operative care, helping to support lymphatic flow and manage swelling during recovery.
When it is appropriate to begin treatment will depend on factors including:
• The type of surgery you have had
• How you are healing
• Your general health
• Any post operative complications
• Advice from your surgeon or medical team
That’s why we don’t take a one size fits all approach.
Before treatment, we will make sure MLD is appropriate for you and tailor your treatment to your stage of recovery.
