From minor surgeries to major surgeries, massage therapy provides many great benefits. Along with pain reduction it also reduces the risk of developing contractures, which occur when muscles, ligaments, and tendons around joints become shorter from disuse.Massage combats swelling as well as stiffness.
How Massage Therapy Works
Post surgery massage therapy works to help with recovery from surgery mainly due to its ability to increase circulation of blood and lymph. Massage is a proven way to ensure that oxygen-rich blood reaches various parts of the body. Increased blood flow promotes faster healing because it ensures that oxygen as well as nutrients reach areas that need them. When massage is applied near and around surgical sites, it encourages them to heal much faster and also greatly reduces the chance of infection. This includes any areas that have been sutured or stapled.
Increased blood flow also reduces both pain and inflammation, which can occur around incision sites and surgical areas. This lessens scar tissue, reducing the severity of scars and sometimes prevents scarring. Bruising around surgical areas is also reduced, which cuts down on general soreness.
Rest is encouraged after some surgeries, and other surgeries require that certain parts of your body remain unused. If the resting period and recovery time are very long, this can lead to contractures. Contractures, in turn, decrease the mobility of your joints and can make you have various aches and pains. Massage during your recovery can reduce and even completely prevent this shortening of connective tissues.
Physical therapy to help surgical patients regain mobility after an injury or operation can be painful. Post-surgery massage therapy reduces this pain, making physical therapy much easier. This is another way that massage speeds up recovery time.
Lymphatic drainage massage is helpful after many surgeries. The lymph system is our body's sanitation department. It rids the body of waste by-products and toxins. It is a very gentle technique also known to result in the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers, and also mood boosters.
Types of Post-Surgical Massage
There are many different types of massage that can be applied following surgeries. A post-surgery massage therapist can determine what type of massage will benefit you the most, depending on the type of surgery. Orthopedic massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial massage, visceral manipulation, lymphatic drainage, and joint massage are just a few types of massage that are commonly used following an operation.
