Incisional Drainage
Necessary when a client has an open incision or a drain, incisional draining involves a massage therapist working the fluid building towards the openings. This continues as the incision is open. Incisional drainage helps the body get rid of the inflammation that can cause pain, bringing a comforting relief.
