Lymphatic Drainage Therapy That Supports Real Recovery
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic fluid retention, or simply feeling off balance, a sluggish lymph system can affect everything from your energy to your immune function.
At Interactive Therapies, our post surgical treatment offers gentle, evidence-based lymphatic drainage techniques and technologies designed to work with your body — to aid in post operative recovery.
You’ll benefit most from this treatment if you are:
- Recovering from cosmetic procedures like liposuction or tummy tuck
- Managing swelling after breast, lymph-node, or oncology-related surgery
- Healing from joint, knee, hip, elbow, or shoulder operations
- Recovering from abdominal or women’s-health surgeries, including C-section
- Experiencing post-facial swelling from rhinoplasty, dental, or sinus procedures
**If you’re not recovering from surgery, we recommend booking our Specialised Lymphatic Drainage Massage instead.

Results That Support Real Recovery
Expect gradual but meaningful changes — less fluid build-up, reduced tightness, and improved mobility. Each treatment helps the body regulate swelling and heal more efficiently.
The Lymphatic System - Whats Really Going On?
After surgery, the lymphatic system often slows down, leading to swelling, fluid retention, and pressure around the treated areas. This is a normal part of healing, but it can feel uncomfortable without proper support.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) helps by gently stimulating the superficial lymph vessels responsible for moving excess fluid and reducing inflammation. These vessels sit just beneath the skin, which is why only light, rhythmic techniques — not deep pressure — are effective.

How We Deliver Advanced Lymphatic Drainage Therapies
Every client begins with a personalised consultation — No two recoveries are the same. We assess your procedure, symptoms, and healing stage to design a personalised plan that supports safe, effective post-operative recovery.
A Safe, Gentle and Healing Approach
Post-surgical recovery requires treatments that are safe, gentle, and effective.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) provides the light, precise touch needed to stimulate the superficial lymph vessels without placing pressure on sensitive or healing tissues.
Lymphstar Pro enhances this process by using gentle vibrational energy to break up congestion, soften tight or fibrotic tissue, and encourage deeper lymphatic activity—without discomfort or strain.
Together, MLD and Lymphstar Pro support the body at multiple levels: MLD opens the lymph pathways and directs fluid movement, while Lymphstar Pro boosts circulation, reduces swelling more efficiently, and helps accelerate the healing process.
This combined approach offers a safer, more comfortable, and more effective way to manage post-operative swelling, improve tissue quality, and promote a smoother recovery.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
MLD works by stretching and releasing the skin in precise, wave-like patterns that mimic the natural contractions of your lymphatic system. The therapist uses a series of slow, gentle, circular, and pumping motions that:
- Open lymph capillaries and guide fluid toward lymph nodes
- Encourage decongestion in areas of stagnation or swelling (like post-surgical sites)
- Re-route lymph around blocked or damaged vessels, especially after trauma or surgery
- Stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and recovery
Lymphstar Pro
Lymphstar Pro is an advanced therapeutic device that enhances lymphatic drainage using vibrational energy instead of manual massage alone.
The Lymphstar Pro uses a low-energy electrostatic field, combined with sound and light frequencies, to break up lymphatic congestion at a cellular level.
These gentle vibrational signals are delivered through hand-held therapy wands placed on the skin. Here’s how it affects the body:
- Oscillating energy helps loosen and disperse protein clusters, toxins, and cellular debris in the interstitial fluid
- Soft electrostatic pulses stimulate the initial lymphatic vessels to open, improving flow into the deeper lymph system
- Light and sound therapy frequencies promote tissue regeneration, relaxation, and cellular repair

Commonly Asked Questions about our Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
How soon after surgery can I start post-operative lymphatic drainage?
Most clients can begin post-operative lymphatic drainage within the first week, depending on the type of surgery and your surgeon’s guidance.
Many surgeons recommend starting early to help manage swelling and fluid build-up. We always adjust timing to your safety, comfort, and recovery stage.
How many post-operative lymphatic drainage sessions do I need?
The number of sessions varies based on your surgery, swelling level, and how your body responds.
Many clients choose 3–6 sessions in the early stages to help manage fluid and support healing. Others continue with weekly or fortnightly treatments during their recovery. Your practitioner will recommend a personalised plan after your first assessment.
Is post-operative lymphatic drainage safe after cosmetic or orthopaedic surgery?
Yes — when performed by trained practitioners using gentle, post-surgical techniques. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a light, rhythmic method designed specifically for sensitive tissues.
We avoid deep pressure and adapt every session to ensure comfort and safety throughout your recovery.
What surgeries can benefit from lymphatic drainage?
Post-operative lymphatic drainage is commonly used after cosmetic surgery (liposuction, tummy tuck, breast surgery, facelift, rhinoplasty), orthopaedic procedures (knee, hip, shoulder), abdominal or C-section surgery, and facial or dental procedures.
It helps support swelling management, comfort, and overall recovery. Always follow your surgeon’s recommendations.
What results can I expect from post-operative lymphatic drainage?
Most clients notice lighter movement, less pressure, and reduced puffiness or swelling after several sessions. Improvements are gradual and depend on the type of surgery and your body’s healing process.
Regular treatments can support smoother, more comfortable recovery.
Are there any contraindications for post-surgical lymphatic drainage?
Lymphatic drainage may not be suitable if you have active infection, unmanaged heart conditions, blood clots, severe kidney issues, or other medical concerns affecting fluid regulation.
We will discuss your medical history during your consultation and adjust or postpone treatment if required.
What is the difference between post-operative lymphatic drainage and regular lymphatic massage?
Post-operative lymphatic drainage uses gentler, more specialised techniques tailored to healing tissues, scar sensitivity, and fluid build-up after surgery.
Our specialised lymphatic massage is designed for overall wellness, detoxification, and fluid balance.
If you have not had recent surgery, we recommend our Specialised Lymphatic Drainage Massage instead.
