Do you have a recommendation on where to get lymphatic massages after your TT in Atlanta? And when you can you start it? (photo)

November 7, 2015
Asked By:Atlglamamama in Atlanta, GA

I am about to have my TT on Tuesday the 10th of November in Atlanta (see before pic!). I am trying to figure out a plan on recovery and understand a massage can help with swelling? When is it best to start a massage regime and who to trust? It seems like your body would be very sore. I remember after my c-sections, I didn't want to touch that scar for months! What would you recommend to your patients?
