We hear so much about Lymphatic drainage at the moment but not everyone likes a massage .
Reflexology nurse is an Approved Reflexology lymph drainage practitioner

What is your lymphatic system ?
It’s like a second circulatory system - But, unlike your blood system it doesn’t have a pump, ( heart)

It Comprises of;-

🌿 lymph fluid
🌿 lymph vessels
🌿 lymph tissue/organs
🌿 lymph nodes
🌿 lymph ducts - 2

Lymph fluid is a derivative of tissue fluid, which in itself, is a derivative of blood plasma.
🌿Plasma escapes the blood vessels and bathes tissues (now tissue fluid) delivering essential nutrients and collecting waste
🌿it’s then picked up by lymph vessels and now called lymph
🌿lymph fluid contains all the nasties - metabolic waste, old blood cells, viruses and bacteria etc
🌿lymph fluid has to be cleaned by at least 1 lymph node before entering back into blood stream to become plasma again and the cycle begins again

Our lymphatic system is the gatekeeper of our wellness. It filters and cleans the fluid in our body keeping us well. It attacks pathogens 🦠 and remembers them for next time. (Immunity). It’s a system of vital importance but rarely noticed.

Our lymphatic system needs to be a free-flowing stream and not a stagnant, algae-ridden pond.

When someone close to you has been given a cancer diagnosis, all your worlds are turned upside down. Some of the emotions people often feel are shock, disbelief, feeling overwhelmed and mainly FEAR.

Fear is what paralyses our minds and our bodies, we can become locked into a cycle of despair and find it hard to access any light or way forward.

How do Complementary Therapies help?

Through touch and energy our wonderful Massage, Reflexology and Reiki therapists can help someone access stillness and calm their systems, by using their beautiful, soothing and relaxing techniques.

Choosing which therapy is a personal choice. Some people adore massage, others find reflexology soothes and balances them and many people feel transported to a calmer place of stillness with reiki 🦋

All of these therapies can assist in:
Alleviating stress
Reducing anxiety
Improving quality of life

Why Surgery Changes the Lymphatic System (And Why Your Body Feels Different After)

This is an article many people didn’t know they needed —
until they read it and quietly say, “This explains everything.”

Surgery can be life-saving.
It can be necessary.
It can be the reason you are still here.

But what is rarely explained is how surgery changes the lymphatic system — sometimes permanently — and why the body may never feel the same afterward unless it’s supported correctly.

🌿 Surgery doesn’t only cut skin — it interrupts flow

The lymphatic system is made up of delicate vessels, valves, and nodes that run just beneath the skin and through connective tissue.

During surgery:
• Lymph vessels are cut or cauterised
• Nodes may be disturbed or removed
• Fascia is incised and heals with restriction
• Nerve communication is altered

Unlike blood vessels, lymph vessels are not always repaired or reconnected.

The body adapts — but adaptation is not the same as optimal flow.

🌿 Scar tissue changes drainage pathways

Scar tissue is not just a surface issue.

Internally, scars can:
• Pull on fascia
• Compress lymph vessels
• Create directional blockages
• Force lymph to reroute inefficiently

This is why swelling often appears above, below, or far away from the scar, not only at the surgical site.

The body isn’t confused — it’s compensating.

🌿 Common surgeries that impact lymph flow

Many people are surprised by how common this is:
• C-sections
• Appendectomy
• Gallbladder surgery
• Abdominal or pelvic surgery
• Breast surgery
• Orthopaedic surgery
• Brain or spinal surgery

Even surgeries done years or decades ago can influence today’s lymphatic patterns.

Time does not automatically restore flow.

🌿 “I healed… but I was never the same”

This is one of the most common phrases we hear.

After surgery, people may notice:
• A swollen or heavy abdomen
• An apron belly that won’t shift
• One-sided swelling
• Chronic inflammation
• Fluid retention
• Increased sensitivity to stress

This does not mean the surgery failed.

It means the lymphatic system was never fully supported afterward.

🌿 The nervous system remembers surgery

Surgery is a physical and neurological event.

The nervous system may remain in a protective state long after healing appears complete. When this happens:
• Lymph vessels remain constricted
• Drainage slows
• Inflammation lingers

The body must feel safe again before it will release.

This is why gentle, calming, rhythmical therapies are often far more effective than aggressive approaches post-surgery.

🌿 The good news — flow can be improved

While scars cannot be erased, function can be restored.

Supportive approaches may include:
• Manual lymphatic drainage
• Scar mobilisation
• Fascia-focused work
• Breath-based techniques
• Nervous system regulation
• Gentle, consistent movement

Healing after surgery is not about pushing harder —
it’s about restoring communication and flow.

💚 A message your body wants you to hear

Your body didn’t betray you.
Your body adapted to survive.

And with the right support, it can learn to flow again.

If you’ve ever felt:
“I healed… but something changed”
