What can I do for massages if I can not find anyone near by that specializes in post op lymphatic drainage massages?

July 3, 2022
Asked By:Leticia974521 in Green Bay, Wisconsin

I have finally picked a doctor and set a date for March 6th 2023. I'm 5'3, 169lbs and nervous. I tried searching around where I live to setup massages but all I can find are doctors who will do surgery but do not see anything about post operative care. What can I do to help my healing process? My surgery came with 3 massages. My procedure will be in another state from where I live.
