Service menu
Focused therapy for recovery, mobility, and soft-tissue relief.
Post Cosmetic Surgery
Support after liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, breast procedures, body contouring, facelift, neck lift, and facial cosmetic work.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Light, rhythmic techniques designed to encourage fluid movement, ease heaviness, and support your body’s natural recovery process.
Post Natal Support
Gentle care after birth or C-section recovery, with attention to comfort, swelling, scar-area sensitivity, and nervous system rest.
Body Recovery and Assisted Stretching
Massage and assisted stretch support for tightness, guarding, mobility discomfort, and soft-tissue recovery after activity, strain, or general tightness.
General Post-Operative Massage
Non-cosmetic surgical aftercare for clients cleared for massage who want support with the body's natural recovery process, pain management, and knowledgeable bodywork during recovery.
Cupping Therapy
Targeted negative-pressure therapy can help ease muscle tension, support local circulation, and create space in restricted soft tissue.
Deep Tissue Massage
Focused therapeutic pressure can help with chronic tightness, overworked muscles, postural strain, and areas that need slower, deeper release.
IASTM Scraping
Therapeutic massage technique that uses specialized ergonomic tools to scrape and manipulate the skin, muscles, and fascia. It is used to break down scar tissue, reduce muscle tightness, and stimulate blood flow to promote healing.
Body Contouring
Supportive contour-focused bodywork can help smooth the look and feel of treated areas, support tissue mobility, and complement post-op recovery goals after clearance.
The Aya method
Every appointment starts with safety, then moves into relief.
01
Recovery Intake

02
Personalized Treatment
Sessions can range from light lymphatic therapeutic techniques to deep fascia release, based on your goals, tolerance, and provider guidance.
03
Plan the Next Step
Clients leave with practical aftercare notes and a suggested rhythm for follow-up sessions based on their stage of healing.
Before your visit
- Share your procedure or injury date, treated areas, swelling, bruising, garment use, and anything your provider told you to avoid.
- Prepare your space with loose clothing, compression garment notes, and a little quiet time after your appointment when possible.
- Expect early post-op care to be light, paced, and responsive. Aya Recovery does not use forceful pressure when the body needs calm support.
Safety first
Know when to book, and when to pause.
Good time to request care
- Your provider has cleared gentle massage or drainage.
- You can share your procedure date and restrictions.
- You want swelling support, comfort, or guidance.
Ideally, schedule post-surgical sessions before your procedure, with your surgeon's reapproval, so your treatment plan is in place, and reserved during your recovery. Aya Recovery can pre-review your surgery details, aftercare instructions, and medical restrictions ahead of time.
Important: post-surgical massage and lymphatic drainage are performed only with approval from your surgeon or healthcare provider. We follow your provider's recommendations for timing and the type of treatment appropriate for your stage of healing.
Contact your provider first
- Fever, chills, redness, heat, or sudden swelling.
- Severe pain, shortness of breath, or new calf pain.
- Open incisions, infection, or unclear restrictions.
Your safety is our highest priority. If you experience any of the symptoms above, let's take a pause in your treatment, massage, or lymphatic drainage. Immediately contact your surgeon or healthcare provider before continuing treatment. These symptoms may require medical evaluation. Once you have been medically cleared, we'll be happy to safely continue your recovery plan according to your provider's recommendations. Your health and comfort are our top priorities, and checking in with your provider can help ensure your recovery is progressing as expected and that it's the right time to continue your post-surgical care safely and confidently.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions before you request an appointment.
When can I start post-op lymphatic drainage?
Many clients begin during the first week (most being the day after surgery), but timing depends on your procedure and provider instructions. The ideal timing depends entirely on your specific procedure. Aya Recovery asks for your surgery date, restrictions, and current symptoms before treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
Most post-operative care plans recommend at least 12 to 20 sessions. The frequency generally starts at once a day for the first 5-7 days during the most critical swelling phases, gradually tapering off as fluid retention decreases and mobility improves. Some clients book a single visit for maintenance support, while others choose a 3, 6, 8, 10, or 12 session maintenance plan. The best rhythm depends on your procedure, healing stage, and how your body responds.
Will I get the same massage every session?
No, post-operative massage is not the same for every session, nor is it the same for every person. Care is highly customized based on your surgery type, healing stage, and specific doctor's protocols.
Are there emotional benefits during post-operative recovery?
Surgical recovery can be emotionally challenging. Massage therapy can support relaxation, reduce stress, and help clients feel calmer and more comfortable during the healing process.
Do packages expire?
Yes, all packages and unused sessions from packages expire after 12 months from the original purchase date.
Should post-op massage hurt?
Post-op massage can involve some discomfort because you may be tender after your procedure, but you should always communicate with your therapist to adjust the pressure. Early lymphatic drainage should feel light, paced, and controlled. Therapeutic bodywork can range from gentle techniques to deeper fascia release when appropriate, with provider clearance, client consent, and clear communication.
Can I talk during the session?
It is up to you. You can request a silent massage if you prefer to zone out, or you can make light conversation.
What if I fall asleep?
Falling asleep is very common and a great sign that you are deeply relaxed. The therapist will gently wake you up when the session ends or when it’s time to readjust your position.
What should I do before and after?
Drink plenty of water before and after your session to stay hydrated and help flush toxins released from the body. Avoid eating a heavy meal immediately before your appointment.
Can I work out after a massage?
Yes, but it is generally best to work out before your massage. After a deep tissue massage, your muscles may be tender, so opt for light stretching rather than intense strain.
When should I avoid a massage?
Reschedule if you are sick, including cold, flu, Covid, or a stomach bug. If you have medical conditions that might be contraindicated, consult your doctor first. Please see the Safety link for further information.
How long are recovery massage sessions?
Massages for recovery and postoperative care typically last between 30 to 50 minutes, with 50 minutes being the most common.
What is fibrosis treatment?
Fibrosis treatment is focused care for firm, lumpy, rippled, or restricted tissue after liposuction or contour procedures. It is booked after clearance and can include multiple areas.
What should I have ready?
Have your provider instructions, garment notes, procedure date, any restrictions, and a clean, private treatment space ready. Your massage therapist needs enough room to work safely, clear access around the treatment area, and any building, parking, elevator, or security instructions before arrival.
Can Aya Recovery refuse service?
Yes. Aya Recovery may pause, decline, or stop service at any time if treatment appears unsafe, contraindicated, outside provider guidance, or inappropriate for the setting.
