The benefits of massage therapy for post-surgery recovery

Post-surgery recovery is a difficult period. It can be challenging and painful to heal. But with the help of physiotherapies, proper medications, a healthy diet, and massages, you can speed up the recovery process. In this blog, you will see the benefits of massage therapy for post-surgery recovery.

 

  • Reduction of pain and discomfort

Most individuals suffer from pain and distress after the surgery that may even affect their sleeping schedules, and their ability to move freely. Even with proper medication and physiotherapies, massage can give extra relief to individuals after the post-surgery.

The massage therapists use a set of techniques such as long strokes, rhythmic tapping, pressure application, and kneading methods which help stimulate the release of endorphins, also known as the body’s natural painkillers. This release of the hormones naturally reduces the patient’s pain after the surgery.

Moreover, the massages assist in the stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system which signals the body to relax, prompting the recipient to fall asleep without being in discomfort or distress.

Besides that, the massage also helps to reduce muscle cramps and muscle tension which can add to the pain. The massage helps loosen the muscles while making them more relaxed, not hindering the mobility of the patient.

 

  • Reduction of scar tissue formation

More often individuals see the formation of the scar tissue after the surgeries of injuries. These scar tissues can become a threat to the patient in terms of mobility and flexibility. Also, this can cause hindrances while doing rehabilitation exercises or physiotherapies, causing delays in the recovery of post-surgery or injury.

That is when massage comes as a savior. The techniques included in the massage session such as the cross-fiber friction methods help to break the adhesion formed as a result of the scar tissues. These adhesions cause stiffness and block the free movements of muscles, skin, and tendons.

Additionally, the massage helps to stretch the scar tissue and makes it more flexible and loose so that the recipient can actively participate in physiotherapy and speed up the post-surgery recovery.

 At our Ajman spa, we provide a wide variety of massages such as Thai massage, Russian massage, Pakistani massage, Kerala ayurvedic massage, Indian massage and so much more offering different benefits. You can choose the massage you want based on the benefits you want to receive after the massage.

 

  • Improved blood circulation

Injuries or surgeries cause the area around the wound to lower blood circulation. This often ends in swelling and inflammation.  This is because the injury causes the blood vessels to narrow as a response to loose less blood. Besides that, the injury also causes tissue damage causing lower blood circulation.

To address this problem, massage therapy can provide some much-needed relief. We all know that massages aid in improving blood circulation. The techniques in the massage session such as the long strokes, kneading, and rhythmic tapping induce better flow of blood to the parts of injury. 

In addition to that, the improved blood circulation helps to supply enough oxygen and nutrients to the areas of injury to support healing. This supply of sufficient nutrients helps in repairing and rebuilding the damaged tissues.

Along with that improved blood circulation helps in the removal of toxins and waste materials, thereby helping reduce the inflammation and the chances of getting infection. Besides that, the blood helps to supply immune cells to the injured part to prevent further infections.

 

  • Decreased swelling and inflammation

Another effective benefit that massages provide is decreasing swelling and inflammation. As the massage increases the blood circulation, it also helps in improving the lymphatic drainage. As the fluids accumulate around the injury, this causes inflammation and swelling, causing restriction to mobility and flexibility for the individual.

The massage helps to drain these accumulated toxins and waste products to the lymph nodes. Also, the improved blood circulation aids in flushing out toxins, thereby reducing inflammation.
