After surgery, it’s very common for areas to feel tight, swollen or uncomfortable.
Whether you’ve had a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast uplift or a mummy makeover, your body is working hard to heal, and that healing doesn’t just happen on the surface.
Even in the early stages, the tissue underneath can feel:
• tight
• heavy or swollen
• sensitive or restricted

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) can be introduced from early on (often from around 5 days post-surgery) to gently support your body through this stage.
It can help to:
• reduce swelling and fluid build-up
• ease discomfort
• support the healing process

Alongside this, I also use very gentle scar tissue work (Myofascial Release) to support the area as it heals, helping reduce that feeling of tightness and allowing the tissue to settle more comfortably.

This is a calm, gentle approach.
No force. Just working with your body to help it to heal.

If you’re preparing for surgery, or already in recovery and things feel tight or swollen, this is something that can be supported.

Sometimes the body just needs the right kind of support at the right time.

What your counsellor brings to the session (that you might not realise)

Have you ever felt like you should be able to talk things through with someone… but still feel stuck?

Talking helps, but counselling offers something different.
It’s a space that is completely yours.
No judgement. No interruptions. No pressure to be anything other than how you are.
A place where you can say things out loud that you might not feel able to say anywhere else.

Alongside this, your counsellor brings experience and professional skills to gently help you: make sense of what you’re feeling
• understand your responses and reactions
• begin to find a way forward that feels right for you

There’s also a lot happening behind the scenes.
Ongoing training, regular supervision, and a commitment to working safely and ethically, all there to support you in the best way possible.

And sometimes, just understanding why you feel the way you do can bring a real sense of relief.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come to counselling.
You just need a place to start.

Recovering from surgery isn’t always as straightforward as we expect.
The swelling… the discomfort… that feeling of your body not quite being back to itself yet.
It can take time—and sometimes a little extra support.
Post operative MLD massage (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) is a gentle, calming treatment that works with your body to:
• Reduce swelling and fluid retention
• Ease discomfort and pressure
• Support healing and tissue repair
• Help scar tissue settle and soften
It’s not about forcing change—just supporting your body to do what it’s already trying to do.
From my practice in Plymouth, I offer post operative MLD tailored to your stage of recovery.

If you’re preparing for surgery, or currently healing, you might find this helpful:

Do you ever find yourself having the same difficult experiences with different people?

You tell yourself “this time I’ll handle it differently”…but it ends up going the same way.
They talk.
You listen.
They need.
You give.

And somehow, your needs don’t quite make it into the room.

It can leave you feeling drained, frustrated, or questioning yourself afterwards…
wondering why you keep ending up in the same position.
These kinds of patterns in relationships can be hard to spot when you’re in them — and even harder to shift on your own.

If this feels familiar, I’ve shared more about this here:
