Why Does Azalea Therapy and Spa in Auckland Offer a Unique Pre and Post Surgical MLD Experience?

Our expert therapists understand the delicate nature of surgical recovery and tailor each session to ensure optimal healing, comfort, and care.

Pre and Post-Surgical MLD: Enhancing Your Healing Journey

Surgery is a significant event for the body, and proper preparation and recovery can make a huge difference in the healing process. Pre-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage Massage helps reduce fluid retention, optimize circulation, and strengthen the immune system, ensuring your body is in its best condition before the procedure. Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage Massage aids in reducing swelling, minimizing scar tissue, and accelerating recovery, making the healing journey smoother and more comfortable. At Azalea Therapy and Spa, we provide expert care to support you before and after surgery, enhancing both physical recovery and overall well-being.

What to Expect During Your Pre and Post-Surgical MLD?

Body Assessment – Your session begins with a quick body assessment, where our expert therapists evaluate your specific needs and goals.

Targeted Treatment – Using advanced Brazilian-inspired techniques, our expert therapists concentrate on the areas that need it most. While this is a full-body massage, the focus is tailored to the specific parts of your body that require extra care and attention.

Why is Azalea the Favourite Pre and Post-Surgical MLD in Auckland?

 Ideally, you should begin pre-surgical massages 1-2 weeks before your scheduled surgery to optimize circulation and lymphatic function. It’s also recommended that your last massage session occur 1-2 days prior to the surgery.

This depends on your surgery type, but many patients start as early as one week post-surgery, with the approval of their surgeon.

No, Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle technique designed to reduce discomfort rather than cause it. Therapists use light, rhythmic motions to encourage fluid drainage without putting pressure on sensitive areas.

Yes! Regular Lymphatic Drainage Massage sessions help break down fibrosis, soften scar tissue, and improve skin texture over time.

We recommend a surgeon consultation before starting any post-operative massage therapy.

Yes! We offer personalized treatment plans with special pricing and conditions. Since every individual is unique, we tailor our approach to your specific needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.
