Post-Surgical Lymphatic Drainage

For patients from Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and surrounding Dorset areas

Post-surgical lymphatic drainage is a gentle, supportive treatment designed to help manage swelling and fluid build-up after surgery. At SoCo Therapies, each session is adapted to your procedure and stage of recovery, with care taken to work alongside the aftercare advice from your surgical team. It does not replace medical follow-up, and we will always advise you to seek medical guidance if something does not feel right.

“I've been suffering with shoulder aches caused by sitting at a computer for too long. After 3 sessions with Joanna the aches have gone and I feel I'm sitting/standing straighter again due to less rounding of my shoulders. Joanna does a firm deep massage which is highly effective. Strongly recommended.”

“First visit this morning and had an appointment with Lauren. Absolutely brilliant Lauren met me in reception on time and took me through to her treatment room. Very professional polite and easy to chat to. The sports massage was amazing never once did she hurt me and was always asking if everything was ok which it was so much so I have rebooked. Lauren was 10/10”
