Post - Operative Therapy

Massage and Pain Therapy is imperative if you want to speed up your recovery and avoid any long-term effects from the invasive trauma of surgery.  Post-Operative Therapy is generally a combination of any or all of the following treatments:

 

  • P-DTR - to turn off pain signals, avoid dysfunction from muscle guarding and overcompensation, and to release emotional trauma. P-DTR is also helpful and determining which of muscles have been turned off as a result of the surgery and need to be turned back on, so your physical therapy has a better chance of success. P-DTR is especially effective in areas that are too painful to be treated by other modalities because it involves minimal touching.

  • Lymphatic Drainage - to release toxins from lactic acid deposits.

  • Meridien Balancing - to help your nervous system recover from the trauma of surgery.

  • Myofascial Release - to aide in releasing any adhesions in the fascia and organic tissue.

  • Trigger Point Release - to release any myofascial trigger points that have developed because of overuse/overcompensation of certain muscles and the resulting referred pain.

  • Scar Release Therapy - To release any fibrotic scar tissue and adhesions.
