How many weeks after surgery do you start with the spirals? How often is scar therapy? How many weeks till you progress to skin rolling?
Plausible but abdominal adhesions are much deeper. Avoiding surface level scar tissue with massage and possibly steroid injections is commonly done however deeper adhesions are useless with this description.
Civic4982 – just a reminder – this is ONLY part 1, describes how to work with scars immediately after surgery. Still to come are parts 2,3 and 4 in the after-care protocol, which include addressing deep adhesions.
can it be used for arthritis fingers, to drain the liquid is accumulating in the articulations?
@beatryxa Edema as found with arthritis ie: inflammation in the joints, is a systemic condition. Certainly, doing overall lymphatic drainage stimulation will have a beneficial effect on all excess fluids. Over time, when the TORSO is cleared, the AXILLARY nodes are flowing & not congested, the arm & hand will become less inflammed. Other considerations that could affect fluid buildup in the fingers are scars, tension, nutrition, and intake of water.
