Lymphatic massage after surgery: what to ask your doctor first

From the team at Exhale Wellness Spa & Tea Room

Quick answer

Ask your surgeon or doctor first. They know your procedure, your healing and any restrictions. Bring their guidance with you, and tell Exhale about your surgery when you book so the session can be planned around it.

Can I get lymphatic massage after surgery?

Ask your surgeon or doctor first. They know your procedure, your healing and any restrictions. Bring their guidance with you, and tell Exhale about your surgery when you book so the session can be planned around it.

What should I ask my doctor?

Useful questions: When is it safe to have massage? Are there areas to avoid? Are there signs that mean I should stop? Is there anything about my procedure the therapist should know?

What does lymphatic massage feel like at Exhale?

It uses very light, slow, rhythmic strokes rather than deep pressure. It is closer to a long exhale than a workout, and most guests describe leaving lighter.
