for your recovery
Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle, specialist manual lymphatic drainage in Pembroke Dock to support swelling, fluid and comfort as you recover from surgery.
why it helps
Support while your body heals
After surgery, your body naturally holds on to extra fluid as part of the healing response. Your lymphatic system moves that fluid away from the tissues, but straight after surgery it can become overwhelmed or temporarily disrupted.
Manual lymphatic drainage uses gentle, controlled techniques to encourage lymphatic flow and support your body's own drainage. It's not a deep tissue massage and it should never be painful.
Stacie is IPHM qualified in post-surgical lymphatic drainage. Each session is tailored to your surgery and stage of recovery, and your plan changes as you heal.

Does post-surgical lymphatic drainage hurt?
It shouldn't. Post-surgical MLD uses slow, light, controlled techniques. It isn't a deep tissue massage and it's never aggressive, especially while your body is still healing.
How soon after surgery can I start?
Only once you've been medically cleared for treatment. Your surgeon or medical team will advise on timing, and Stacie will need details of your procedure before your first appointment.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your surgery and how your body heals. One session suits anyone who wants to try it, three gives support through the early stages, and five is the recommended option for consistent support. Bespoke packages are available if you need more.
Does it replace my surgeon's aftercare? |
No. Post-surgical MLD is a supportive treatment and doesn't replace advice or follow-up care from your surgeon or medical team.
Can I book before my surgery?
Yes, and it's a good idea. Message Stacie on WhatsApp before your surgery date and she can help you plan your sessions around your recovery.
