The practice

Treatments

Two strands: the post-surgical recovery path and therapeutic massage. All of it delivered at home.

The post-operative path

The core of the work

This is not a menu but a progression: the work begins gently, builds intensity when the tissue allows, and the light closes the session.

Manual lymphatic drainage on a client's abdomen, white gloves and black draping
From clearance

Lymphatic drainage

Slow, rhythmic strokes that follow the path of the lymph. After surgery circulation slows and fluid settles in. Drainage supports the body while it does the work.

It is the foundation of the first six weeks, and the gentlest of the three.

From one year after surgery

Wood therapy

Wooden tools worked over the tissue to soften it and even out contours after lipo or a BBL.

The most demanding of the three, and the only one that waits: it is given only from one year after surgery, once deep healing is complete. Before then, the work is done through drainage.

Add-on, at any stage

Red light therapy

Red and infrared light over the areas worked, at the end of the session. No pressure, no manipulation.

It layers onto a drainage or wood therapy session without adding much time.

The tools, named

Wood therapy means wooden tools. Without wood it's called sculptural massage — not wood therapy. Here's exactly what comes out of the case, and what each piece is for.

The wooden bell

Also called a wooden cup or Swedish cup

El hongo. The broad rounded piece. It opens the area at the start of the work and passes over sensitive regions without concentrating pressure.

Cube roller worked across the abdomen

The cube roller

Rodillo de cubos. The edges catch the tissue. This is the one that goes after firm areas on the stomach and flanks.

Bead roller worked across the abdomen

The bead roller

Rodillo de esferas. Softer, rounder. For thighs, hips and anything that can't take the cubes yet.

Still life of wood therapy tools: board, brush, rollers and mushroom

The board and the brush

Tabla sueca and cepillo. The board works large flat surfaces, the back and the backs of the thighs. The brush opens the session and wakes up surface circulation.

Ridged wooden roller worked over a client's thigh

The corn cob

La mazorca. The grooved roller, the most recognisable of the set.

Equipment is provided

Nothing to buy and nothing to prepare. The case holds the six tools, the table, the linens, the oils and the light unit.

The second strand

Therapeutic massage

Outside any surgical context. Swedish, deep tissue or relaxation, at home, for women, men and children alike. An insurance receipt is issued under the RMPQ membership number.

Groups only

The mobile spa

In a group, one person receives their massage while the others wait. The mobile spa removes that wait: it is set up on site and becomes part of the appointment rather than dead time.

Infrared sweat blanket

Enveloping infrared heat that induces sweating, before or after the massage.

Infrared steam sauna tent

A portable sauna set up in the home, for whoever is waiting their turn.

Four-hands massage

Two therapists work at the same time on the same person. The rate is confirmed by phone.

Pricing

Groups, pairs and treatments for children are priced case by case. The price is confirmed when booking.

Outside the post-operative path

Also offered

Add-on treatments, given alongside a massage or on their own. They belong neither to the post-operative path nor to therapeutic massage.

Dry brushing

Dry exfoliation that refines skin texture and wakes up microcirculation. Pairs well with a massage.

Infrared facial

Infrared light on the face, with no manipulation and no product. As an add-on or on its own.

Cupping

Tissue release and circulatory stimulation, on areas that have not had surgery.

Radiofrequency and cavitation

On assessment only, and never on a recently operated area. We discuss it at the end of the path, once recovery is done.

Measurements

Tape measurements at each stage, tracking actual change rather than impression.

These treatments are contraindicated on a recently operated area. If recovery is under way, they are considered only after the surgeon's clearance.

Before booking

Have we met before?

No two bodies recover the same way. Before a first session, we take the time to understand yours.

Booking

Ask for a date

The appropriate treatment is determined from the type of surgery and its date. Nothing has to be chosen in advance.

Before booking, the terms of service set out what is offered, the acts that are never performed, and the cancellation notice periods.
