PRE / POST SURGICAL MLD

Preparing your body before surgery and supporting it afterwards can make a significant difference to your recovery. Pre and post-surgical Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialist treatment designed to help your body heal more efficiently and comfortably at every stage.

Pre-Surgical MLD

Having MLD before your procedure helps prepare the lymphatic system and surrounding tissues. By encouraging healthy fluid movement and reducing any existing congestion, your body is in a better position to respond to surgery.

Pre-surgical treatment may help to:

Support your body’s natural detoxification processes
Reduce fluid retention and tissue congestion
Improve skin and tissue condition
Promote a smoother, more efficient recovery

Post-Surgical MLD

After surgery, it’s normal for the body to experience swelling, bruising, and inflammation. MLD works by gently stimulating the lymphatic system to encourage the removal of excess fluid and waste products from the tissues.

Post-surgical MLD can help to:

Reduce swelling and discomfort
Support the healing process
Minimise the risk of fibrosis (hardened tissue)
Improve circulation and tissue repair
Promote greater comfort and mobility during recovery

A Tailored Approach to Your Recovery

Every surgical journey is different, which is why treatments are adapted to suit your procedure, stage of healing, and individual needs. Whether you are preparing for surgery or looking for support during your recovery, care is taken to ensure treatment is both safe and effective.

Guidance can also be provided on aftercare, including movement, compression, and ongoing self-management, so you feel supported beyond your sessions.
