Many ‘failed’ repair and replacement surgeries can be remedied through therapeutic massage under the right hands. I use an orthopedic assessment to investigate which muscles are not properly engaging and which may be too tight after scar tissue has made them less adaptive after surgeries. Therapeutic massage significantly aids post-surgery recovery and should be considered a vital part of healing alongside standard rehab.
Additionally, Hendrickson Method: Orthopedic Massage and Bodywork is an advanced system of bodywork that helps post-surgery recovery by using gentle, wave-like motions (Wave Mobilization®) to reduce swelling, improve circulation, break down scar tissue (adhesions), and restore joint mobility, all while being deeply relaxing and working on the nervous system, leading to faster healing, reduced pain, and better overall function beyond temporary symptom relief. It combines soft tissue work with joint mobilization and muscle energy techniques, addressing the whole body for more comprehensive recovery
