- Improved lymphatic and blood circulation. Osteopathic manipulations stimulate lymph flow, helping to reduce swelling in the tissues after surgery.
- Reducing tension in the abdominal area. The tension that develops in the tissues and muscles after surgery is eased.
- Restoring the health of the fasciae. During abdominoplasty, the fasciae are manipulated; osteopathy restores their elasticity.
- Pain relief. Tension in the muscles and ligaments is targeted.
- Improving postural balance. Changes in the abdominal muscles can affect posture.
- Calming the nervous system. Post-surgical stress and bodily tension are reduced.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
