Massage after mastectomy is a specialized therapy designed to support the lymphatic system and address common issues like lymphedema, which can occur after mastectomy surgeries. Lymphedema is when fluid accumulates in the body due to disrupting normal lymph flow. During this therapy, a trained therapist applies light, rhythmic strokes to guide lymph fluid away from the affected areas, improving circulation and reducing swelling.
Lymphatic massages help break down scar tissue and collagen fibers, especially in the axillary (underarm) area, where fibrosis can limit movement and cause discomfort. Cross-fiber massage techniques effectively reduce tightness and pain, and improve mobility, allowing for a greater range of motion. This therapy is ideal for individuals recovering from mastectomy surgery, helping with swelling, pain, and limited mobility. Many clients experience relief after one session, with continued treatments offering longer-lasting benefits.

Many clients experience improvements after the first session, such as reduced swelling and increased comfort. However, consistent treatments over time provide the most significant and lasting benefits, improving mobility and preventing complications like fibrosis and restricted movement.
While self-care techniques can be practiced, professional sessions are highly recommended for safety and effectiveness. A trained therapist ensures proper technique and addresses your needs, especially in areas like the axilla (underarm), where scar tissue can limit movement and comfort.
