Heal well after surgery — gentle, skilled work to reduce swelling, soften scar tissue, and support organized, comfortable recovery. Oncology-informed and clinically grounded.
Recovery after surgery isn't just about waiting — how you're cared for in the first weeks shapes how comfortably and completely you heal. Manual lymphatic drainage and gentle myofascial work can reduce swelling and bruising, ease discomfort, soften developing scar tissue, and help your body organize its healing.
I bring more than 20 years of clinical experience and manual lymphatic drainage training, and I serve as a massage therapist at Huntsman Cancer Institute's Wellness & Integrative Health Center. That means your care here is oncology-informed and clinically grounded — careful about surgical precautions, adapted to your procedure, and coordinated with your physician's guidance.
Recovery works best as a short series rather than a single visit. Your first appointment is a little longer so we can do it right.
Assessment first, then focused work — adapted to your procedure and where you are in healing.
Your sessions take place in a quiet, private room inside Flow Acupuncture on South Temple — comfortable and calm, set up for focused clinical care.
Straightforward pricing for premium, credentialed clinical care.
Full assessment, your first drainage session, and a personalized recovery plan.
Recurring recovery sessions to keep swelling down and healing on track.
For the compressed post-op window when consistency matters most.
For recent surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or lymph node removal, a physician's note or clearance may be required so I can adapt your care safely. If you're unsure, reach out and I'll help you sort it out.
It depends on your procedure and surgeon's guidance — some clients begin within the first week or two, others a bit later. Message me with your procedure and date and I'll advise, and coordinate with your surgeon's timeline.
Most post-op recovery involves a short series — often several sessions across a few weeks — rather than a single visit. We'll map out a plan at your first appointment based on your procedure and how you're healing.
No. Lymphatic drainage is very light and gentle; myofascial work is applied carefully and within your comfort. Recovery care should feel supportive, not aggressive.
By appointment, Fridays & Saturdays. New clients welcome.
