Would massage therapy Help?

Interesting question! Though my training has taught me that
varicose veins are a definite contraindication for massage,
we never really spent a great deal of time on post-operative
after the veins are gone. I did find this website though...
body1.comv1032503.htmOpen ↗ And would
like to know more myself on this subject.

This question should be raised; Was it the Salene tx.( plus
chemicals ) or the vein stripping, very painfull?

Before I get your response; It will aid in circulation ABOVE
the lessions therefore helping drainage to the site. No
massage to the site in acute, 6 weeks ago; you are now
working and in the sub acute stage.

Techniques like Skin rolling and MLD will help. At the end
of the day and you see that the affected leg is swollen,
try what is known as "Beurgers Excersise". Simple
explanation; sit on a couch with your swollen leg nearest
the backrest. Elevate your ankle to the top of the couch.
Wait until your foot blanches ( turns white ), then sit
normal with your foot on the floor until you feel the leg
fill. repeat three times.

You have done a Vascular Flush. It will aid in the
anastimosis ( creation ), of new vascular pathways.

Manual lymph drainage massage would most likely help but you
must get your doctor's okay first. LK
