Post-Top surgery recovery
Boost recovery, pain reduction and range of movement post-Top surgery.
Service Description
Suitable for clients 6-8 weeks following their top surgery. Whilst you’re likely to feel great relief after your surgery, your body has just undergone a physical trauma and may need some additional support to help it recover. Often, recovery issues can interact with separate health issues (Fibromyalgia, Hypermobility, EDS etc) and this can cause sometimes unique pain issues to flare up. Even without other health issues at play, recovering from Top surgery can often feel difficult and leave the body fatigued and in need of support. Because I work nearly exclusively on Transgender patients, I have a lot of experience working with post surgery bodies and am familiar with the scar tissue and changes to the muscles and soft tissue. In this treatment, I assess where you are at in your recovery, what the potential obstacles are which may be slowing this down/increasing pain levels unnecessarily and help get you back on track with lower pain levels and increased mobility. In this post surgical treatment, the following is included: - In depth, trauma informed and consent lead consultation discussing your body’s history, how your surgery went and how you are feeling post surgery. - Exploring together different issues which might be contributing to pain and tightness post surgery. For example, did you know that even though your chest tissue has been removed, your brain has not yet caught up and will still be holding the same pre-surgery posture? Do you know that conditions such as hypermobility may be slowing down recovery but that we can help reduce its impact by reducing tension in affected joints? - 50 minute Advanced Clinical Massage whereby we support your body towards recovery by calming the nervous system, gently stretching tissue in affected areas and guiding the body back to softness and safety. - Aftercare! Pulling together everything from our consultation and your massage, I will go through 4-5 self massage and stretching techniques unique and bespoke to your body and its needs. There are for you to use at home as you continue on your recovery.
