Massage helps to speed healing after Hip Replacement
Earlier, I got a text from a client who had hip replacement surgery around 8 am today. In order to prepare for this surgery, we began doing Pre-Op Massage Therapy about 2 weeks ago. This client comes in 2 times a month, on a regular basis, to help increase flexibility, reduce stiffness and improve overall well-being. In preparation for hip surgery, the client added an additional session for the month.
Today, the same day of surgery, this 80 year old ROCK STAR is home, and there was NO hospital stay! I was so happy to hear this news!
Massage Therapy can be used to improve many health and wellness concerns, and that includes surgery! I’m glad my client spoke to his doctor about using Massage Therapy to help prepare for surgery. His doctor thought it was a great idea and said that he had never had a client use Massage Therapy to prep for surgery. So in addition to my client being a ROCK STAR, he is also a trend setter!
In his text to me, my client made it very clear that he was at home, recovering and that he thought Pre-Op Massage Therapy helped his current post surgical condition.
If you live in the DFW area and would like to see how Massage Therapy can help you prepare for and recover after Orthopedic surgery, book a Perioperative (Pre/Post Op) Massage Therapy Consultation at https://KevaMack.com/book .
