How Much Post-Operative Care Will I Need?

Every recovery is different. The number and type of treatments you may need will depend on your surgery, stage of healing and how your tissues respond. I will assess your recovery and recommend a personalised treatment plan, adapting it as your needs change.

How I Can Support Your Recovery

1. Swelling, Fluid Retention & Seroma Support
Helping to manage post-operative swelling and excess fluid, while monitoring for localised fluid collections such as seromas and supporting their management, with referral for medical assessment when necessary.

2. Fibrosis & Scar Tissue
Targeted care to help soften areas of fibrosis and scar tissue, improve tissue mobility and reduce tightness and restriction.

3. Pain & Discomfort
Helping to ease pain and discomfort associated with swelling, tissue tension and restricted movement during recovery.

4. Wound & Healing Monitoring
Monitoring the surgical area during your recovery and recognising signs of delayed healing, wound breakdown or possible infection, with prompt referral to your surgeon or medical team when necessary.

5. Compression & Recovery Guidance
Individual guidance on compression garments when appropriate, helping to manage swelling and support recovery according to your surgery, stage of healing and individual needs.

6. Movement & Tissue Mobility
Helping to reduce tissue restriction and pulling sensations, improve mobility and support a gradual return to comfortable movement through appropriate treatment and exercise guidance.
