Physicians realize the benefits of Soulstice Peri-operative Therapy

My futuristic vision of the cosmetic surgery industry is that a patient's cosmetic desires, as well as their comfort and recovery needs, are met by a "one-stop shop".  Currently, the industry lacks in following the client throughout their recovery.  There is not an active process for post-operative therapy like there is in some specialties like orthopedic procedures.

Peri-Operative Therapy aligns itself with industry advancements by recognizing the importance of a speedy recovery and a way that helps improve comfort with recovery.  Essentially, Soulstice is our partner.  They are another set of eyes and brains to monitor and follow the client.

Soulstice offers a remarkable value and benefit to our clients both medically and socially.  From a medical stand point, Peri-operative Therapy speeds up recovery from post-operative edema.  Socially, Soulstice provides care, comfort and support in between post-operative visits.  They provide another point of service and contact.

New technology has allowed us to safely be more aggressive.  As a result, there is a greater requirement for post-operative treatment like Peri-operative Therapy.  They go hand-in-hand.  The more aggressive we get, the more we need Soulstice and Peri-operative Therapy.  By combining both services we can create a more positive experience for the client.

I have been extremely enthusiastic about the results which we have obtained thus far.  By starting massage therapy between one week and two weeks postoperatively, we have discovered several benefits for our patients: 

• Patients clearly have less pain and sensitivity at the wound site…
• We are achieving faster wound healing…
• …massage therapy facilitates lymphatic drainage and reduces swelling…
• …less problem with contour irregularities

Massage therapy seems to reduce tension and stress associated with surgery, not just in the area of the wound, but also in other areas where the clients oftentimes develop a protective posturing…

There is no question that therapeutic and lymphatic massage can be helpful in the peri-operative period.  Our experience with Soulstice has been fantastic.  I definitely recommend their services for peri-operative clients.

Massage Hastens Healing

At the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Bone Marrow Transplant clients given massages had better neurological function than those in a control group.  And researchers in Sweden reported massage reduced pain by 37 percent in clients with fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by chronic muscle aches.

"There has been research by complementary medicine specialists showing that relaxation techniques lead to decreased pain and narcotic use to cope with pain as well as less physiologic stress.  These factors combined to reduce the amount of time clients remained in the hospital."

We're continually being asked about research that's been done supporting our services.
