Your Trusted Post-Operative Care and Massage Therapy Clinic in Richmond Hill

After surgery, our body gets exposed to trauma in the tissues, joints, and muscles. If you have undergone surgery in Richmond Hill or a neighboring region, we, at Glow Med Clinic can help you heal and recover faster through post-operative massage.

As the name suggests, post-operative massage is a massage therapy that is best suited for those who are recovering after a general surgical operation, orthopedic surgery, or plastic surgery and need proper rest and rehabilitation.

A post-operative massage therapy is tailored to enhance the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid to promote recovery and healing using LPG. The lymphatic system in our body is responsible for processing waste and absorbing fluids. Usually, after surgery, these fluids can harden which can sometimes be very painful. However, post-operative massage can prevent and treat the hardening of fluids by decreasing inflammation and increasing circulation in the affected area.

Apart from promoting blood and lymph fluid circulation and alleviating pain and inflammation, a post-operative massage can also help in reducing discomfort and scarring. Therefore, many healthcare practitioners recommend post-operative massage to their patients after surgery.

What a Post-operative Massage Can Help With

  • Reducing post-operative pain, anxiety, and muscular tension
  • Improving relaxation and satisfaction by lowering stress
  • Clearing fluid cellular wastes that get clogged up in the lymphatic system
  • Reducing swelling by relaxing muscles and improving circulation of blood and fluids in the body
  • Faster healing of wounds by nourishing the affected area through proper blood and oxygen flow
  • Shortening surgical healing time
  • Promoting cellular and tissue repair
  • Reducing surrounding discomfort by re-aligning affected muscles and joints
  • Breaking up internal and external scar tissues and preventing more scar tissue formation
