Post-Operative Recovery Specialist
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Specialized MLD massage therapy designed to support your body's healing after surgery — reducing swelling, minimizing complications, and helping you recover beautifully.
What Is MLD?
The Gold Standard in Post-Op Recovery
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized, medically recognized massage technique that uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system — your body's natural drainage network. After surgery, the lymphatic system can become overwhelmed, leading to swelling, fluid retention, and prolonged recovery.
MLD helps move excess fluid out of the tissues and back into circulation, dramatically reducing swelling, bruising, and discomfort — and helping you achieve the best possible results from your procedure.

Your Session
What to Expect
Gentle, Specialized Technique
MLD uses very light, rhythmic strokes — nothing like a deep tissue massage. The pressure is intentionally gentle to stimulate lymph flow without disrupting healing tissue.
Customized to Your Surgery
Every session is tailored to your specific procedure, your stage of recovery, and your body. We work in close coordination with your surgical aftercare instructions.
Series of Sessions Recommended
Most post-operative clients benefit from a series of sessions — typically beginning 2–4 weeks after surgery (or as cleared by your surgeon) and continuing through the recovery period.
Safe & Supportive Environment
Your comfort, safety, and dignity are our top priorities. Sessions are conducted in a private, professional setting with full respect for your body and your healing process.
Surgical Clearance Required
MLD sessions should begin only after you have received clearance from your surgeon. Timing varies by procedure — most surgeons recommend starting MLD 2–4 weeks post-op. Please bring your surgeon's aftercare instructions to your first session.
