TherapiesPre+Post Surgery

Lymphatic Work Pre & Post Surgery

When you have surgery or suffer a trauma lymphatic vessels are cut or damaged. This allows fluid, cellular waste and proteins like fibrin (meant to repair wound) to collect around the incision or wound. This buildup of debris and its negative affect on circulation is what begins the inflammation process, which will limit healing.
 
Having a well functioning lymphatic system before surgery can help you have less pain, swelling, heal faster and avoid heavy scarring. Most individuals fast the night before a surgery. It would be much wiser to prepare your body weeks in advance when you know you are going for surgery.
 
A few weeks before your surgery come in for a series of lymphatic activation to help detox acidic cellular waste, proteins and toxins from your body. This will improve your circulation and build immune system.
 
24-48 hours before surgery have a session to relax the body and gently activate the lymphatic system.  This will increase your circulation, reduce pain and help speed your recovery.
 
24-48 hours after surgery have a short session to relax the body and gently activate the lymphatic system to the surgery site. This will help open lymphatic pathways to the area limiting inflammation and pain. A weekly session for a few weeks will keep you feeling good and speed your recovery.
 
Numerous Surgeries
 
Over the years we have seen many individuals who after numerous surgeries develop weight or health problems. This is very easily explained; with each surgery fibrin, a substance that looks like yarn in the blood is produced to repair your wound. Unfortunately it is not specific to one area and is over produced becoming trapped in the tissues and organs limiting their function. After only a few sessions of lymphatic activation these individuals feel and look better. Those that have a weight problem finally begin losing weight.
 
A healthy lymphatic system is an important missed key to health. It is extremely important in times of trauma, surgery or weakened immune function.
