Unfortunately, this is very rare. We have had success having massages covered by auto insurance after a car accident, but private medical insurance is very fickle. We recommend setting up an HSA or FSA if your company gives you the option.

Yes! We will provide all necessary treatment documents and receipts to submit to your HSA/FSA.

The timing varies depending on your specific procedure and your surgeon’s recommendations. Generally, we can begin gentle lymphatic work as early as 48-72 hours post-surgery, but we always require clearance from your surgeon before starting any bodywork. More intensive massage techniques typically begin 2-6 weeks post-surgery, again with your surgeon’s approval.

Not at all! Our approach is extremely gentle, especially in the early stages of healing. We work within your comfort level and surgical restrictions, focusing on light touch techniques that help manage swelling and promote healing. You should feel supported and relaxed during your session, never uncomfortable or in pain.

Yes, specialized post-surgical massage techniques, particularly Manual Lymphatic Drainage, can significantly help reduce postoperative swelling. This gentle approach helps stimulate your lymphatic system, encouraging the body to process excess fluid more efficiently and often providing noticeable relief from swelling-related discomfort.

The frequency depends on your specific surgery and stage of healing. Initially, we might recommend 2-3 sessions per week to help manage acute swelling and discomfort. As you progress in your healing, we typically adjust to once weekly or bi-weekly sessions. We’ll create a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs and recovery goals.

Our therapists are specially trained to work safely around surgical sites, including areas with drains, staples, or other medical devices. We modify our techniques and positioning to ensure your comfort and safety while still providing effective treatment. We’re experienced in working with various post-surgical situations and always prioritize your safety.

Absolutely! Once your incision is fully closed and cleared by your surgeon, specialized scar tissue massage can help improve the appearance and mobility of your surgical scar. These techniques can help prevent excessive scar tissue formation, reduce adhesions, and improve tissue flexibility. Early intervention with appropriate scar massage can lead to better long-term outcomes.

Post-surgical massage requires specialized training and knowledge of surgical procedures, healing stages, and contraindications. Our therapists understand surgical protocols, positioning requirements, and how to safely work with healing tissues. We use specific techniques like manual lymphatic drainage and scar tissue mobilization, and we carefully coordinate with your healthcare team to ensure our work supports your overall recovery plan. Unlike regular massage, every session is customized to your surgical precautions and current stage of healing.

Fibrosis is common after many surgical procedures, and is especially prevalent after liposuction. You may feel fibrosis where the liposuction cannula was placed, and this can feel like “lumps and bumps” under your skin. We perform special techniques using our hands and tools to soften the fibrosis, and many clients report feeling a difference after just a couple of sessions. We may also recommend special compression garments and foam inserts to assist in softening fibrotic areas.

We do not sell compression at this time, however, we can assist you in selecting the best compression for your situation. We also have partnered with physical therapists who are certified to fit custom compression should you have the need. We do sell other products related to post-op care.

It is out of our scope of practice to remove medical devices. Please be sure to coordinate with your surgeon on how you will navigate these situations.

If you have a fever or suspect an infection, please call your surgeon immediately. We deal with seromas on a case-by-case basis. A large seroma will need to be drained by your surgeon. If you have a small seroma, we will generally work around it and monitor it, and refer you back to your doctor if deemed necessary.

Yes! We have a medical-grade adjustable table that can be positioned in a variety of ways. We use several variations of bolstering systems to make you comfortable. We are familiar with the most common surgical positioning restrictions and have been able to accommodate them accordingly.

Yes! We sell packages in quantities of 5 or 10 sessions: with either option you will save $10 per session.
