Why Licensing & Certification Matter for Post-Op Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Wrthit owner Monica Skalsky
After procedures like BBL, liposuction, or tummy tuck surgery, your body is under stress. The swelling, fluid retention, and tissue trauma that follow are a normal part of healing—but they require expert attention. That’s where manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) comes in.
MLD is not just a massage—it’s medical support. And it must be performed by someone who understands post-surgical anatomy, fluid dynamics, and healing timelines. At Wrthit, we believe strongly that only licensed and certified professionals should provide lymphatic drainage massage for post-op clients.
Here’s Why It Matters:
Avoid Injury and Complications
Without proper training, a therapist can apply pressure too soon or in the wrong direction, potentially damaging surgical sites, delaying healing, or even increasing inflammation.
Certified Knowledge of Surgical Recovery
Our therapists are trained in post-surgical lymphatic protocols, including when and how to safely work around sutures, drains, fibrosis, and fluid pockets.
State Licensing + Specialized Certification
Every Wrthit therapist holds a valid California massage therapy license and has trained with post-op lymphatic care experts, such as Jodie Rushing (Brazilian Beauty Formula). This ensures they understand the difference between general MLD and post-op lymphatic massage—a distinction that’s often overlooked.
Safe Mobile Massage in Your Recovery Space
You shouldn’t have to drive while swollen or in pain. That’s why we come to you—equipped, licensed, insured, and prepared to provide safe, clean, and effective lymphatic drainage massage right where you are.
