Alleviate pain and expedite
healing with massage therapy
• Acute pain and stress
o Before and after surgery, commonly patients experience high levels of stress,
which is not unnatural. It is genuinely known that stress can manifest either
physically or mentally or both. Physically, symptoms occur after the body is
dealing with the trauma of the surgery and, as a result, it gets weaker and
more tensed. Mentally, the whole idea of a procedure be it minor or major,
installs a sense of anxiety while being constrained to a bed adds extra burden.
Through muscle and soft tissue manipulation, the blood flow is regulated and
improved thus helping the body heal and recover better and faster.
o By triggering pressure points and using deep tissue massage techniques
oxygen and nutrients levels are boosted and the body is better positioned to
start healing. Hand manipulation also provide comfort and induce a state of
relaxation.
• Scarring
o Besides the fact that many people regard scars as being physically
unappealing, they can also pose a greater risk by building up collagen in the
fibres and restricting movement and circulation. A registered massage
therapist will know the right techniques to use in order to loosen the tissue,
realign it and give it its elasticity back. Even though it is not always a 100% sure,
regularly undergoing specialized massage therapy session can decrease the
appearance of the scars as well.
