Why choose lymphatic drainage physical therapy?

After surgery, your lymphatic system can become overloaded, causing swelling, stiffness, and discomfort. Our lymphatic drainage physical therapy techniques flush excess fluid, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility so you can recover faster and more confidently.

We frequently support clients needing lymphatic drainage after tummy tuck, lipo, and other body contouring procedures. Our goal is to help you feel lighter, reduce swelling, and protect your surgical results.

At UpLift, we offer medically informed care tailored to your surgeon’s post-op plan. No guesswork. No spa-style. Just targeted, results-driven therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is lymphatic drainage massage, and how does it help after surgery?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, medically guided technique that reduces swelling, pain, and bruising. Our lymphatic drainage physical therapy is customized to your specific surgery and healing goals.

Why should I do lymphatic drainage therapy after surgery?

After surgery, your body may experience swelling, bruising, and fluid retention as part of the healing process. Lymphatic drainage helps reduce inflammation, accelerate recovery, and minimize discomfort by clearing excess fluids and improving the flow of lymph, which carries waste and toxins away from tissues.

How soon after surgery can I start lymphatic drainage?

You can typically begin lymphatic drainage within 24-48 hours after surgery, depending on your surgeon’s recommendations. Starting early helps control swelling and supports a smoother recovery process.

How many lymphatic drainage sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on the type of surgery, your body’s response to treatment, and your overall goals. On average, clients may benefit from 4-10 sessions, but your physical therapist will develop a customized plan based on your needs.

Is this only for post-op patients?

Not at all. We also help clients with chronic swelling, lymphatic congestion, or mobility issues.

How long will it take to see results from lymphatic drainage?

Most clients notice a reduction in swelling and an improvement in comfort within 1-3 sessions. Consistent treatments lead to optimal results, especially when combined with post-surgical care instructions.

Does lymphatic drainage massage work?

Yes! Especially when it’s done by medically trained providers. We track your swelling, pain levels, and range of motion to make sure you’re healing well.

Do I need a referral to be seen?

NO! Texas is now a limited direct-access state for physical therapy. This means you no longer need a referral to get started with pelvic floor therapy! This saves you valuable time and money, as well as avoids unnecessary diagnostic testing and medications. The sooner you receive treatment for an injury or dysfunction, the faster you will get well! After we complete your initial evaluation, we will handle requesting a referral from your provider if you need one. 

Why should I see a Physical Therapist and not a massage therapist for lymphatic drainage therapy?

Physical therapists have advanced training in how the body works, especially after surgery. They can customize your lymphatic drainage therapy to fit your specific needs, check your progress, and handle any issues that come up. In many cases, your physical therapist has a direct line to your surgeon and can quickly share any concerns with your doctor if needed. They can also help you create a safe plan to get back to exercising as you recover. This means you get safe, complete care every step of the way.

What’s the difference between a spa massage and physical therapy for lymphatic drainage?

Spa massages may feel relaxing, but our therapy is clinically informed and aligned with your surgical and functional needs.

How do I book an appointment?

Does lymphatic drainage hurt?

No, lymphatic drainage is a gentle, painless technique. It uses light, rhythmic movements to encourage lymph flow and reduce swelling without causing discomfort. Clients often describe it as soothing and relaxing.

What should I wear to a lymphatic drainage session?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas being treated. Depending on the surgery site, you may be asked to wear a tank top, shorts, or similar garments. Your physical therapist will provide specific guidance.
