Empower Your Healing After Cancer Surgery

Surgery is often a crucial step in treating cancer—but the path to recovery can be physically and emotionally challenging. At Uma Clinic, we offer specialized, supportive therapies designed to complement oncology treatment and promote a faster, gentler recovery after surgery.

Whether you’re healing from a mastectomy, colectomy, thyroidectomy, or tumor excision, our post-surgical services are tailored to reduce complications, alleviate pain, and restore your strength—naturally and compassionately.

What Is Cancer Surgery?

Cancer surgery involves removing tumors or affected tissues to stop the spread of disease. It may be:

• Curative: complete tumor removal
• Debulking: reducing tumor mass before chemo/radiation
• Reconstructive: restoring body structure and function
• Palliative: relieving symptoms or complications

These procedures are often invasive, affecting nerves, lymphatic vessels, and soft tissues—leading to pain, inflammation, scar adhesions, and lymphatic congestion.

Challenges After Surgery

• Chronic pain or tightness at incision sites
• Numbness or nerve damage
• Swelling or fluid retention (e.g., lymphedema)
• Difficulty moving limbs or torso
• Delayed wound healing
• Emotional fatigue and stress

Early post-operative care is essential to prevent fibrosis, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life.

Post-Cancer Surgery Treatments at Uma Clinic

1. Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Cancer surgeries—especially those involving lymph node removal—often compromise the lymphatic system. Our certified therapists provide gentle manual drainage to reduce swelling and support immune detox.

Helps with:
• Post-mastectomy or pelvic surgery swelling
• Lymphedema prevention and management
• Detoxification after anesthesia and chemo

2. Scar Tissue Mobilization

Cancer-related surgeries can leave deep, tight scar tissue. Our therapists apply targeted techniques to soften, mobilize, and improve circulation in affected areas.

Beneficial for:

Mastectomy scars and axillary adhesions
Abdominal incisions (e.g., hysterectomy, colectomy)
C-section or reconstructive surgery scarsagement
• Detoxification after anesthesia and chemo

3. Ultrasound Therapy

High-frequency ultrasound waves penetrate tissue to reduce stiffness, break fibrotic adhesions, and accelerate healing in the post-op zone.

Supports:

Collagen realignment
Pain and swelling relief
Enhanced tissue flexibility

4. Microcurrent Therapy

Low-voltage electrical currents aid in nerve regeneration, muscle stimulation, and wound recovery—especially useful for areas with loss of sensation or motor difficulty.

Ideal for:

Numbness after axillary clearance or breast surgery
Abdominal weakness post-colectomy
Supporting pelvic floor recovery

5. LED Light Therapy

Red and infrared wavelengths penetrate deep to stimulate cell repair, reduce inflammation, and re-energize healing tissues.

Indicated for:

Post-operative fatigue
Bruising or inflammation
Skin regeneration and comfort

6. Infrared Sauna Therapy

(after medical clearance)
Far-infrared heat gently detoxes the body, reduces inflammation, and supports the immune system—ideal in later stages of recovery.

Useful for:

Systemic circulation improvement
Immune modulation
Managing post-treatment fatigue

🕒 Timeline: Recovery Support by Stage

Each protocol is tailored to your type of surgery, oncologist’s recommendations, and healing progress.

Stage Post-Surgery	Recommended Treatments
Days 1–5	Gentle lymphatic drainage, LED light therapy
Week 1–2	Introduce ultrasound therapy, microcurrent (if cleared)
Week 3–4	Scar mobilization, continue lymphatic support
Month 1+	Begin infrared sauna, long-term tissue recovery plan

💡 Why Supportive Therapy Matters After Cancer Surgery

Studies show that early intervention with manual therapies can:

Reduce post-op complications like seromas and fibrosis
Shorten recovery times
Improve range of motion and body image
Support mental and emotional well-being
Prevent chronic pain syndromes
