Post-Injury Massage Thessaloniki
If you've suffered an injury, getting back to normal matters. Post-injury massage in Thessaloniki accelerates recovery by improving circulation, preventing scar tissue buildup, and reducing pain. I work closely with your physician and physical therapist to ensure massage complements your overall treatment plan.
Each session is adapted to your injury type, how long ago it happened, and your specific recovery goals. Whether you're recovering from a muscle strain, surgery, or fracture, the method changes as your body heals.
| Injury Type | Phase | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Muscle injury | Sub-acute (48-72 hours) | Lymphatic drainage |
| Tendonitis | Chronic | Deep Tissue |
| Post-surgical | Post-acute | Therapeutic |
| Fractures | Post-cast | Mobility restoration |
How recovery progresses with massage
Acute phase (0-72 hours)
Rest, ice, compression, and elevation are the priority. Massage stays in the area around the injury, not on it, to control swelling through lymphatic drainage.
Sub-acute phase (3-14 days)
Gentle massage continues, still avoiding direct pressure on the damaged tissue. Light work helps prevent stiffness in surrounding muscles.
Reconstruction phase (2-6 weeks)
As inflammation settles, we can apply slightly firmer pressure to restore mobility and begin breaking down adhesions that form naturally during healing.
Functional recovery phase (6+ weeks)
Deep tissue work, stretching, and movement-based massage help rebuild strength and restore full function.

Medical disclaimer
Massage complements medical care—it doesn't replace it. Always get clearance from your physician or physical therapist before starting. If new pain develops or symptoms worsen, stop and consult your doctor.

Frequently asked questions
How soon after injury can I have massage?
Wait 48-72 hours for acute injuries. For post-surgical recovery, follow your surgeon's timeline—usually 7-10 days after surgery.
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on the injury. Minor injuries may need 2-4 sessions. Post-surgical recovery typically requires 8-12 sessions over 6-8 weeks.
Can massage help fractures?
After the cast is removed and the bone has healed, massage restores circulation, flexibility, and strength to surrounding muscles.
Do you work with physical therapists?
Yes, I collaborate directly with physical therapists. I receive your treatment plan and adapt my work to fit into your overall recovery program.
What do recovery massage sessions cost?
Same rates as therapeutic massage: €60 (45 minutes), €80 (60 minutes), €105 (90 minutes).
