Yes, Pre-surgery we may not be able to work directly over the site for the upcoming surgery, but we can work on attachments and other connecting muscles and tissue that may be holding tension on the area of pain. It will also help lift and separate the layers efficiently increasing the flow of fluids and decreasing or eliminating tissue adhesions. In Post-surgery we will be able to do similar techniques as above with the soft tissue separation and we can open up your lymphatic system more so that when the body is healing after the surgery, there are less stagnations in the body allowing for better flowing of fluids leading to your body receiving more nutrients and an increased healing rate. When the healing process is far enough along, or the surgery is much older, we can start addressing the scar formation and help re-align those fibers. This will create more functionality in area along with reducing the visible scar.
