Why Vaping Before and After Surgery Deserves a Serious Conversation
Nicotine narrows blood vessels and starves a fresh surgical site of oxygen. Here is what that means for wound healing, infection risk and the results of circulation-based recovery work, and why most surgeons now treat vaping the same as smoking.
“None of this is about shaming anyone. Nicotine addiction is real, and “just quit” isn’t realistic advice on its own. But surgical recovery is a short, high-stakes window — even a temporary reduction, supported by NRT or a physician’s guidance, can meaningfully change healing outcomes.”Visit · Start here

Questions
Before you book.
Is this massage?
No. This is functional therapy: assessment-led, hands-on treatment aimed at restoring function after injury or surgery. Sessions are goal-driven and re-tested, not relaxation-oriented.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required. If you are post-surgical, bring any restrictions or timelines from your surgeon so treatment can respect them.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing you can move in. Shorts and a fitted top make it easier to assess and treat the affected area.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the injury, the surgery and your goals. The initial assessment sets a plan with a realistic timeline, reviewed as you progress.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel or reschedule 48 hours or more before your appointment for a full refund. Cancellations inside 48 hours, or missed appointments, are not refundable. You can cancel or reschedule from the link in your confirmation email.
Is my health information secure?
Yes. Your intake is encrypted in transit and at rest, only your practitioner can read it, and every access is logged.
