Is Myofascial Release As Part of Lymphatic Massage Damaging to a TT?

September 4, 2013
Asked By:carolynburton in Saskatoon, ON

I am 11 weeks post op TT and my PS suggested massage to help with the swelling. At my massage appointment today, the massage therapist did some deeper massage to "loosen up the fascia". It didn't hurt, but since I had fascia plication as part of my TT, I wonder if it is appropriate that she try and loosen it? As a result of my swelling, I am finding it hard to move naturally and fluidly, so I think her rationale was that loosening the fascia would make movement easier, but is it damaging?
