Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage Massage at Home

What is Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Post-op lymphatic drainage massage is a light, targeted technique designed to support the body after surgery. It uses slow, rhythmic movements to encourage lymph flow and help the body manage excess fluid naturally.

Unlike deep tissue or remedial massage, this approach is gentle and mindful of sensitive areas. The goal is comfort, circulation and recovery support rather than pressure or intensity.

It is commonly chosen after cosmetic procedures, orthopaedic surgeries, or any treatment where swelling and fluid build-up may occur.
