Montgomery, AL, United States, July 12, 2025 -- Montgomery, AL - Dan Hendrix, Massage Therapist, LMT #404, EMT, owner of Advanced Clinic Massage is proud to announce the launch of its specialized Post-Op Massage program, designed to accelerate recovery, reduce pain, and optimize outcomes for surgical patients throughout the Montgomery area. Led by Dan Hendrix, a board-certified medical massage therapist, this initiative aims to bring cutting-edge therapeutic techniques to those recovering from orthopedic and general surgical procedures.

Surgical intervention is often a critical step toward improved health, but the post-operative period can be fraught with discomfort, limited mobility, and anxiety. Traditional rehabilitation protocols focus heavily on physical therapy and pharmaceutical pain management, leaving a gap for complementary, hands-on care. Recognizing this need, Dan Hendrix has developed a comprehensive post-op massage regimen that integrates evidence-based modalities—such as myofascial release, gentle lymphatic drainage, and trigger-point therapy—to address common post-surgical challenges.

“Our bodies have an incredible capacity to heal,” says Dan Hendrix, medical massage therapist and founder of Advanced Clinic Massage. “With the right manual interventions, we can significantly reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore range of motion faster than with conventional recovery alone.”

The Science Behind Post-Op Massage

Emerging research in rehabilitative medicine underscores the efficacy of massage therapy in the post-surgical setting. A randomized clinical trial published in the *National Institute of Health* demonstrated that patients receiving targeted manual therapy experienced faster reduction in swelling and reported higher overall satisfaction with their recovery process. By facilitating lymphatic flow, massage helps the body eliminate inflammatory byproducts more efficiently, while gentle stretching and soft-tissue mobilization prevent scar tissue adhesion and joint stiffness.

As a certified medical massage therapist, Dan Hendrix employs a patient-centered approach, conducting thorough assessments to create customized treatment plans. Each session is tailored to the individual’s surgical history, pain levels, and mobility goals, ensuring safe and effective care from the first appointment through full recovery.

Who Can Benefit from Post-Op Massage?

Advanced Clinic Massage welcomes patients recovering from a wide range of surgical procedures, including but not limited to:

* Orthopedic surgeries (joint replacements, tendon repairs, rotator cuff repairs)

* General surgeries (hernia repairs, gallbladder removals, appendectomies)

* Soft tissue and sports-related surgeries (ACL reconstructions, meniscus repairs)

Patients frequently report improvements in pain tolerance, reduced reliance on medication, and enhanced emotional well-being. By addressing both physical and psychological aspects of healing, post-op massage supports a holistic recovery journey.

A Personalized Path to Recovery

At Advanced Clinic Massage, the patient experience is paramount. After an initial consultation, Dan Hendrix conducts a hands-on evaluation to identify areas of scar tissue development, muscle weakness, and compensatory movement patterns. This in-depth analysis informs a step-by-step treatment roadmap, which may incorporate:

1. Lymphatic drainage techniques to minimize edema and bruising

2. Myofascial release to alleviate tightness in connective tissues

3. Neuromuscular therapy to deactivate painful trigger points

4. Passive range-of-motion exercises to maintain joint flexibility

5. Guided self-care education for at-home techniques and exercises

“I don’t just treat the site of surgery,” explains Hendrix. “I look at the body as an interconnected system, ensuring that compensations don’t create new problems down the road.”

Advanced Clinic Massage works in close collaboration with surgeons, physical therapists, and primary care physicians to integrate post-op massage seamlessly into multi-disciplinary care plans.
