Why Pre-Surgery Massage is Crucial: Insights from Massage FE
Preparing for surgery can be stressful, and it's easy to neglect wellness. At Massage FE, we emphasize the importance of preoperative massage as a vital part of your recovery.
Benefits of Pre-Surgery Massage:
Reduces Anxiety: Studies, like one from Mayo Clinic in 2020, show that a brief pre-surgery hand massage significantly lowers anxiety.
Alleviates Pain: Massage before surgery can lessen pain both before and after the procedure, aiding in a smoother recovery.
Reduces Inflammation: Especially crucial for orthopedic surgeries, preoperative massage can decrease swelling, facilitating a more efficient surgical process.
Relaxes Muscles: Relaxed muscles undergo less trauma during surgery, resulting in reduced postoperative pain and faster healing.
Optimal Timing and Techniques:
The best time for a pre-surgery massage is 1–2 days before the operation. Swedish and deep tissue massages are ideal, targeting the surgical area and adjacent muscles to relieve tension.
Consult Your Surgeon:
Always talk with your surgeon before booking a preoperative massage to ensure it's safe given your specific medical situation.
