LDM Post Surgery Benefits There are a multitude of reasons why we may need to undergo surgery. Whether planned or unexpected, it may be required as a life-saving procedure. Other surgeries, while strictly optional, may be the best way to achieve a healthier body or improve overall mental and physical wellness.

Incorporating manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage into your post-surgical recovery can be an excellent way to help your body recover from surgery. MLD has a number of important post-surgery benefits, including reducing swelling, managing pain, and minimizing the risk of infection. To understand the role of MLD in healing after surgery,…

Benefits of Getting Manual Lymphatic Drainage Before Surgery

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Benefits of Getting Manual Lymphatic Drainage Before Surgery When planning a cosmetic surgery procedure, the fun part is thinking about the final results. It can be easy to forget, however, that even a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure is still surgical. And, as with any surgical procedure, allowing the body adequate time to heal is extremely important. Luckily, there are things you can do before your cosmetic procedure that will give your body a jump start on the healing process. Manual Lymphatic Drainage, or MLD for short, prepares your body for surgery by helping the body flush out toxins and boosting the immune system.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Why You Need LDM Therapy After Cosmetic Procedures Waiting to see the results you have been hoping for after a cosmetic procedure can be pretty exciting.

MLD Massage Can Boost Your Immune System After Surgery

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Boost Your Immune System After Surgery The immune system is our body’s natural way of fighting off illness and healing after injury. Even when medically necessary, major surgery puts significant stress on the body. One unfortunate result of that stress is the suppression of the immune system. And this, in turn, can undermine the body’s ability to heal quickly after surgery. Moreover, a weakened immune system can leave you susceptible to infection, particularly at the site of your surgical wound but also in the sinuses, nose and mouth, skin, and urinary tract. You may also be less able to fight off illnesses such as a cold, the flu, or pneumonia. And illness and infection can seriously hinder post-operative healing. So before and after surgery, taking steps to strengthen the immune…

Stop Swelling Post-Surgical Complications Before It Happens with MLD

Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Massage, Massage Therapist
Reduce Swelling Swelling is the body’s natural way to respond to an injury or trauma. When the body senses an injury, it responds by rushing extra lymphatic fluid containing white bloods cells to the injured area. As the excess fluid builds up around the injury, it causes the enlargement we call swelling. When the body can’t heal itself, we can—thankfully—aid the healing process with a surgical procedure. Our body, however, reacts to the trauma of the surgery as it would to any other injury: by rushing extra lymphatic fluid and white blood cells to the area of the surgery. Thus, swelling is a natural and common reaction to most surgical procedures. Yet although swelling is a natural response after a surgery, that doesn’t mean the body should be left to…
