Post-operative Care
The body longs to restore itself. After an operation inflammation, pain and bed rest often immobilise the body preventing blood from bringing healing nutrients to the surgery area. Many doctors agree that massage is an essential therapy to increase blood flow, accelerate healing and reduce (and even prevent) scar tissue. Massage also restores freedom of movement so that your body can get back to its pre-operation form.
