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.

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…

Lymphedema Diagnosis and Treatment after Plastic Surgery

Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Massage Therapist
Lymphedema Treatment to Reduce Swelling Cosmetic surgery can be a great way to achieve the figure you have always dreamed about. When coupled with a healthy lifestyle, good diet, and regular exercise, liposuction or a tummy tuck, for instance, can help you get rid of those unsightly lumps and bumps that have been undermining your shapely physique. As with all surgeries, however, cosmetic procedures do entail the potential for unwanted complications. One of the most common post-surgical complications is a condition known as lymphedema. While lymphedema can occur after any surgical procedure, it is especially problematic after surgeries that involve the removal of lymph nodes or disruption of the lymph system, especially in the abdominal area. Therefore, if you are facing surgery for cancer such as mastectomy, or a cosmetic…
