Post-Surgery Comfort Massage: What's Safe, With Medical Clearance

Short answer: Gentle massage away from the surgical site can support comfort and relaxation during recovery, but this always requires your surgeon's explicit clearance first — never book based on how you feel alone after a procedure.

Always start with your surgeon's clearance

Recovery timelines and restrictions vary enormously by procedure — get specific clearance from your surgeon, including which areas to avoid, before booking any session.

What a cleared session typically involves

Gentle technique focused well away from the surgical site, often on areas like the shoulders or feet that provide comfort without any risk to your recovery.

What to share when booking

Be specific about your procedure, the surgical site to avoid, and any restrictions your surgeon has given — the more detail, the safer and more comfortable your session.

Booking your session

Once cleared, book through our Booking page, noting your surgeon's guidance clearly in the Special Requirements section.
