Post-Surgical
Therapy is recommended after surgery in order to organize fascia plains and soft tissue, increase circulation for better nutrient uptake and waste removal, break down existing scar tissue and prevent the formation of new scar tissue, promote healing which allows for shorter recovery time and improved function.
​
This works with all types of surgeries including joint surgeries, full joint replacement, spinal surgery, abdominal or intestinal surgeries, organ transplants, open heart surgery, skin grafts, liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast surgeries including implants, mastectomy, and/or radiation therapy.
​
Pre-Surgical
Therapy is recommended prior to surgery to help properly align and position the joint, thus making it easier for the surgeon to manipulate the joint. Additionally, this allows for more space in the joint capsule in order for the surgeon to work more efficiently.
