Post Op Recovery &
Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Gentle support, tailored to your recovery

​

Recovering from surgery takes time, and everyone’s experience is different. Swelling, tightness and feelings of heaviness can be part of the healing process, sometimes leaving you feeling uncomfortable or not quite yourself.​

​

At Restore & Bloom, we believe recovery deserves thoughtful, individual care. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

​

How can manual lymphatic drainage help?

Your lymphatic system plays an important role in moving fluid around your body. Following surgery, swelling can occur as part of the healing process.

​

MLD uses slow, gentle movements and a specific technique to support lymphatic fluid movement. Unlike traditional massage, it uses very light pressure.

​

Depending on your circumstances, MLD may help with swelling and feelings of heaviness or discomfort. Suitability is always considered individually, and results can vary.

​

Your recovery, your way

Before recommending treatment, we want to understand you, not just the procedure you’ve had.

​

We’ll talk through your surgery, how you’re feeling, your recovery so far and any guidance from your healthcare team. This helps us consider whether MLD is appropriate for you and what support may be suitable.

​

Treatment will only be considered when appropriate for your stage of recovery, with the necessary medical guidance in place. We won’t automatically recommend a set number of treatments, as every recovery is different.

​

What to expect

Your treatment will be gentle and unhurried, with time to explain what to expect and answer your questions. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable and understand the approach before proceeding.

​

There’s no pressure to commit to a course of treatments. We’ll discuss your options with you so you can make an informed decision about what feels right for your needs.

​

Treatment options & pricing

Initial Recovery Appointment

​

The aim is for you to leave feeling listened to, better informed and clearer about the next steps in your recovery.

​

Let’s talk about your recovery

If you’ve recently had surgery, or are preparing for a procedure, and would like to explore whether MLD may be appropriate for you, we’d be happy to talk things through.

​

You don’t need to know exactly what you need before getting in touch. We’ll help you understand your options and the next steps.

​

Gentle, individual support, with your recovery at the heart of it.
