"There is no question that therapeutic and lymphatic massage can be helpful in the peri-operative period. Our experience with Soulstice has been fantastic. I definitely recommend Soulstice for my patients."CO Plastic Surgeon

"Peri-operative Therapy aligns itself with industry advancements by recognizing the importance of a speedy recovery and a way that helps improve comfort with recovery. Essentially, Soulstice is our partner. They are another set of eyes and brains to monitor and follow the client while they recover."CO Plastic Surgeon

"Soulstice offers a remarkable value and benefit to our clients both medically and socially. From a medical stand point, Peri-operative Therapy speeds up recovery from post-operative edema. Socially, Soulstice provides care, comfort and support in between post-operative visits. They provide another point of service and contact."CO Plastic Surgeon

"New technology has allowed us to safely be more aggressive. As a result, there is a greater requirement for post-operative treatment like massage. They go hand-in-hand. The more aggressive we get, the more we need Soulstice and Peri-operative Therapy. By combining both services we can create a more positive experience for the client."CO Plastic Surgeon

"I have been extremely enthusiastic about the results which we have obtained thus far. By starting Peri-operative Therapy between 1 and 2 weeks postoperatively, we have discovered several benefits for our clients: less pain and sensitivity at the wound site, faster wound healing, lymph drainage to reduce swelling, less contour irregularities, reduced tension and stress around the wound site and where the patient may develop protective posturing."CO Plastic Surgeon

"I thought it appropriate to express to you all how grateful I am for your post surgical care (Peri-operative Therapy). Without your educated and healing touch, my results would not be what they are today. As I reflect back on my 10 or so treatments, I wish that Soulstice operated in Toronto, Canada as I would continue with the beneficial healing therapy of your well trained practitioners. I can't say enough about how you made a tremendous difference in my recovery. I trust and hope that every patient considering cosmetic surgery understands the benefit of Peri-operative Therapy and fortunate enough to receive the healing touch of team Soulstice."B. Hamilton - Toronto, Canada

"My wife and I feel that Peri-operative Therapy has been the single most important aspect of our post-operative care. Our sessions accelerated our healing time, decreased the immediate swelling, reduced the scarring and stimulated nerve reproduction."R. Parham - Florida

"When I went in for my post-op appointments, following a tummy tuck, breast reduction and augmentation, I was given the name of a Soulstice. My physician and his staff highly recommended Peri-operative Therapy. I was apprehensive, because I had never even had a massage before, and quite frankly, I was very self conscious! Although my arms were a little painful and my scars were raised and rough, I decided to make my initial appointment. What a blessing it was! I spent the summer receiving treatments about every other week. My Soulstice therapist took the time to understand exactly what type of surgeries I had. I could tell that my therapist had such an understanding of the human anatomy just by the sensitivity and firmness he would use on each different area. As he would massage, he would make sure he was applying the right amount of pressure and would ask frequently how things felt, and how I was doing! He would go out of his way to make sure I was comfortable! The room was always just the right temperature; it was very soothing and relaxing! It turned out; I wasn't self conscious at all! He really worked hard on all of the areas to help smooth out my scars and tissue. I felt very relaxed with him, and do feel that Peri-operative Therapy helped me heal faster!"A. Norris - Aurora, CO

"I noticed immediate benefits from my Peri-operative Therapy treatments. They helped reduce my swelling, soreness and discomfort that I was experiencing following my surgical procedure."S. Kneefel - Aurora, CO

"Following my surgical procedure with Dr. Buford I was encouraged to receive Peri-operative Therapy with Soulstice. I was so pleased to have this post-surgical option to learn and understand my new body and heal more efficiently. My Soulstice experience created a perfect bridge from my surgery, accelerated my healing process and helped get me back on my feet sooner. My circulation was vastly improved, and this was very important to me since I found that I could not exercise so soon after surgery. I was surprised at how quickly my swelling dissipated after my treatments and faster than I had thought possible! I believe that receiving Peri-operative Therapy allowed me to experience my ultimate results much sooner, and therefore able to flaunt my results with pride. The image that I now present on the outside finally matches the personality inside."G. Derouen - Thornton, CO

"Soulstice Peri-operative Therapy was instrumental in the healing process before and after my knee replacement surgery. The staff's expertise and caring attitude encouraged me through difficult times. Now, five months later, I look forward to continuing my massages for relaxation and distressing. Owners, Kent Lemburg and Ann Brooks deserve kudos for their management of an A+ organization."S. Armstrong - Centennial, CO

"At ten days out from my face lift surgery I began receiving my treatments at Soulstice. Peri-operative Therapy was the one most important thing I did for myself as I healed. The staff at Soulstice helped me to make it through the fear, confusion, and questions I had during my recovery. It is very obvious that Soulstice therapists are highly educated and have extensive knowledge about post-operative recovery. I would recommend anyone who has had surgery, to make an appointment at Soulstice."D. Olhoft - Aurora, CO

"Peri-operative Therapy helped me lose about 8-10 lbs. (of swelling) in one session! It felt so great to get back into my clothes again. The services not only helped me heal, but greatly bolstered my self-esteem. I would highly recommend the technique and the trained professionals at Soulstice to anyone who has to go through the traumatic experience of surgery."H. Lees - Littleton, CO

"I am grateful for being introduced to Soulstice, and for the wonderful Peri-operative Therapy care and support I received after undergoing double mastectomy surgery. My surgeon was amazed at my recovery progress and how little scar tissue I had at the time of my reconstructive implant replacement surgery. Integrating regular Soulstice Peri-operative Therapy, for months post-surgically, made a huge impact on my overall progress and recovery from both surgeries. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!"S. Cole - Highlands Ranch, CO

"I want to take a moment to thank you for your excellent care giving through massage. The day after our session I was able to work a full 8.5 hours, a first this week! It may not sound like a big deal, but to be re-energized and have some pain relief makes a world of difference to my life. I am truly thankful that Dr. Jones referred me to you."H. Byrn - Littleton, CO

"I am used to (my Soulstice therapist) working miracles with my aches and pains, but I was astounded with the dramatic results he achieved with a lymph drainage massage. My face was badly swollen from a cosmetic procedure, and when he finished it was greatly improved."J. Rudoff - Denver, CO

"I've received massage steadily for more years than I can remember. But I cannot recall having such impressive results from a single session. I felt immediately better as I left your office, but expected that after a day or two the benefits would rapidly regress into my old discomfort and pain. So far that has not happened and the results are truly remarkable."M. Dafni - Denver, CO

"I want to thank you for my Soulstice massage therapy gift certificate. This was an excellent idea and I commend you for thinking of it. My massage was very therapeutic, helped me heal, and I enjoyed it."J. Beck - Denver, CO

"I have received nothing but positive feedback from my clients concerning their dealings with Soulstice. The therapists are clearly people-oriented whose gentle style relates well to most clients. Surgical patients can feel reassured by their genuine sense of care and support. I cannot tell what a positive experience this has been for both me and my clients since dealing with the Soulstice® Peri-operative Therapy."A Colorado-based plastic surgeon

""I look for medical practitioners that can best serve my patients. They need to understand the rehabilitation process, how to minimize the number of treatment sessions, recognize the professional hierarchy in medical care, effectively communicate with my patients while being mindful of other practitioners, and cost-effective in producing results. Finding less invasive treatments for musculoskeletal pain can be difficult. Adding medical massage therapy does not detract from the medical process, rather it has helped my patients get back to work faster and engage in the functional activities of life with mindfulness and responsibility. Soulstice, Ltd. has made my job easier and is a vital resource for my patients. Their expert therapists have proven to manage my patient’s care with a high level of customer satisfaction, while being mindful that recovery from trauma requires individual responsibility in the rehabilitation process.""Dr. Christian Updike, M.D. – Medical Director of Employee Health for HealthOne Hospital System

"Tracy had a slip and fall onto her right arm 6 weeks ago causing a double break in her radius. Her break required surgery with screws and plates to repair. Tracy’s therapist has recommended Soulstice Peri-operative Therapy x2 per week to reduce bruising, swelling, scarring and post-surgical pain. "My arm is getting better but I have a long way to go. I don’t want to sound over-dramatic but when I am at your place I get genuine and true relief that evades me most of the rest of the time. It will be a long haul made MUCH easier by the work you all do – your work is truly remarkable, powerful and so compassionate. I feel humbled."" Tracy Ashmore – Denver, CO
