Guided Recovery After Procedures
When you’re healing, the right touch and timing matter. Our Surgical & Operation Massages are gentle, progressive, and aligned with physician clearance. We focus on comfort, fluid management, and restoring easy movement—never aggressive pressure.
- Post‑Operative Recovery Massage — Comfort‑first support that adapts as tenderness fades.
- Lymphatic Drainage Massage — Very light, rhythmic techniques to encourage lymph flow and reduce swelling.
- Liposuction Massage — Respectful, precise work for cosmetic recovery; positioning protects sensitive areas.
- C‑Section Scar Massage — Once cleared, gentle mobilization to improve flexibility and comfort.
- Tummy Tuck Massage — Support for posture changes and careful fluid balance.
- BBL Massage — Ultra‑light approaches with protective positioning.
- Mommy Makeover Massage — Compassionate plans that respect combined procedures and daily demands.
Recovery Milestones We Watch
- Early phase: Minimal pressure, comfort positioning, focus on rest and gentle lymph.
- Middle phase: Gradual expansion of techniques as soreness and swelling improve.
- Later phase: Light scar care, posture support, and return‑to‑activity strategies.
Important: These services are supportive and do not replace your physician’s care. We follow your surgeon’s restrictions closely.

FAQ
At Healthy Start Lifestyle, we know you may have questions before booking. Our FAQ is designed to provide quick, clear answers about our massage therapy, surgical recovery, and bodywork services so you can feel confident and prepared for your visit.
What makes a certified massage therapist the safer choice?
Certification and licensure mean rigorous training, ethics, and sanitation standards. It also signals ongoing education—crucial for post‑operative and specialty care.
I work long hours—what’s the best starter session?
Try a 60‑minute Therapeutic Massage focused on neck, shoulders, and hips. We can layer in myofascial release if posture issues are present.
Can I book massage right after surgery?
We wait for physician clearance, then begin with ultra‑light contact and comfort positioning. Technique intensity increases only as your body is ready.
Will contouring services cause weight loss?
No. They support circulation and a refreshed look but are not medical treatments or weight‑loss programs.
How often should I schedule visits?
For focused goals, weekly or biweekly is common at first; for maintenance, every 3–4 weeks works for many Stafford clients.
Are products fragrance‑free?
We can keep products minimal and fragrance‑free by request. Share any sensitivities during intake.
Do you offer promotions or packages?
Yes—check Special Promotions for savings and bundles that fit your routine.
Can I give a session as a gift?
Absolutely. Choose flexible Massage Therapy Gift Certificates for birthdays, holidays, or thank‑yous.
Can I combine services in one visit?
Often, yes. Popular pairings include Sports Massage + Myofascial Release and Contouring + Body Wraps.
