Who this is for

This guide is for people recovering from orthopedic, cosmetic, cancer-related, or other procedures where swelling, stiffness, scar tightness, or heaviness is affecting daily life.

It is also for people who feel uncertain about compression, movement, or how quickly they should progress.

How treatment works

Care may include gentle lymphatic-informed manual techniques, scar and tissue mobility work when appropriate, movement strategies, education, and home steps that match your current stage.

The goal is not to rush healing. The goal is to help swelling, mobility, comfort, and confidence improve with a plan you understand.

Why the setting matters

Post-surgical recovery can involve sensitive questions and changing symptoms. One-on-one sessions create space to ask those questions without feeling rushed.

If a concern needs surgeon or physician guidance first, Dr. Baek can help you identify that boundary and avoid guessing.
