Preparing your body before surgery and supporting it afterwards can make a big difference to how you recover.
I offer safe, adapted massage for people at every stage of their surgical journey — from pre-operative preparation through to post-surgical recovery and rehabilitation.
Pre-surgery massage focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, improving circulation, and relaxing the body so you are in the best possible condition going into your procedure. This gentle preparation can help reduce inflammatory markers and support your overall immune resilience.
Post-surgery, carefully adapted sessions can assist with managing swelling, restoring mobility, and supporting scar tissue healing.
Using techniques such as Manual Lymphatic Drainage, taping, compression, or other complementary therapies, I can help reduce discomfort, promote healing, and improve your recovery outcomes.
This kind of support is often recommended after both cosmetic procedures (such as liposuction or tummy tuck) and orthopaedic surgeries (such as joint replacement or ligament repair). Each session is tailored to your stage of healing, your surgeon’s advice, and your comfort level, ensuring that you feel safe and supported at every step.
My aim is to work alongside your medical team, providing gentle, restorative therapies that help you return to your daily life with greater comfort, mobility, and confidence.
I regularly support clients across Perth with pre- and post-surgery massage to reduce swelling and improve recovery outcomes.

Working alongside your medical team for safe, evidence-informed support
Whether you are recovering from cosmetic surgery such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or breast surgery, or from orthopaedic procedures such as joint replacement or ligament repair, I tailor each session to your specific needs.
Post-surgical swelling can feel tight, uncomfortable, and slow your return to daily life. Gentle lymphatic work helps reduce that swelling, improve circulation, and support faster healing. Combined with compression therapy, taping, or other complementary therapies, your recovery plan can extend well beyond the treatment room.
I take the time to understand your procedure, your surgeon’s recommendations, and how your body is responding at each stage, so that every session supports — rather than disrupts — your healing.
Cannot recommend Carole highly enough. Carole was absolutely brilliant after my surgery by doing house calls until I could drive. Her techniques helped immensely with the post-surgery swelling. Will not use anyone else. :)
I had MLD with Carole following surgery. She was professional, lovely to chat to, and up to date with recent training which was great. I highly recommend Carole!
As a Physiotherapist myself, I can highly recommend Carole Plumb Massage Therapy. I have been troubled by a severely swollen knee due to a torn meniscus for a few months. Ever since my first session with Carole, I have not had to strap my knee, and the swelling is now under control. I can now fully bend my knee, something I had been unable to do since January. She has done what the surgeon was offering without the need for surgery.

This depends on your procedure, your surgeon's advice, and how your body is healing. For lymphatic drainage, sessions can often begin within days of surgery. For more hands-on techniques, we wait until the area is sufficiently healed. I will always work within your surgeon's guidelines.
I regularly support clients recovering from cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, and breast surgery, as well as orthopaedic surgeries including joint replacements and ligament repair. I also support people preparing for or recovering from cancer surgeries.
Pre-surgery massage focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, improving circulation, and relaxing the body before your procedure. It can help reduce inflammatory markers, support immune resilience, and ensure your body is in the best possible condition going into surgery.
Yes. My aim is always to work alongside your surgeon and other treating practitioners. I will ask about your procedure, your surgeon's recommendations, and any restrictions before planning your sessions.
This varies depending on your procedure and recovery goals. It is often beneficial to start with more frequent sessions in the first few weeks — sometimes twice weekly — and then reduce as your recovery progresses. I will discuss a plan tailored to your individual needs.
In addition to my core treatments, I offer a range of carefully selected complementary therapies designed to enhance your results and support your recovery, including Compression Therapy, Myofascial Cupping Therapy, Lymphatic and Musculoskeletal Taping, Therapeutic Electrostatic Oscillation Therapy, and Low-Level Laser Therapy.
These therapies work alongside Manual Lymphatic Drainage, oncology massage, pre- and post-surgery care, and therapeutic remedial massage to reduce swelling, improve circulation, relieve discomfort, and promote healing. Each modality is chosen based on your individual needs and integrated into your treatment plan to provide safe, effective, and holistic support for your bod
Holistic remedial massage is goal-oriented, designed to treat specific health conditions, reduce pain and stress, and improve physical function — rather than solely for relaxation. I offer safe, gentle, and adapted massage for people who require a more mindful approach, using a combination of fascial techniques tailored to your individual…
The lymphatic system is your body’s drainage system — collecting excess fluid from tissues and returning it to the bloodstream. When it is not working well, waste products can build up in tissues, leading to swelling, discomfort, and fatigue. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, gentle technique that uses…
Research has shown oncology massage helps manage symptoms and improves the quality of life for people with a history or diagnosis of cancer. I provide gentle, adapted massage for people currently receiving cancer treatment, those in recovery or seeking support during survivorship or palliative care.
