Our industry is designed so that our integrity is in our own hands, this training is one that raises the bar for all of us. The depth at which these topics dig into is awesome. My CDT training covered a lot of this but I felt like we really blew by so much of it. Petra has a genuine interest in us as practitioners and to uplift the standards of the industry
Christophe
I was a complete beginner and totally new to working with postop patients. Since doing the training I have a better overall understanding of post-op care so I feel more confident with patients. The training is perfect for a lymphatic drainage massage therapist who wants to be able to expand their services and offer something more advanced. Do it, it's just amazing!
Misrak
I feel that the training really gave me a good understanding on what was happening for my post op patients. I can explain to them what is happening or what I am doing. Everything seems to fall in place for me, and all that I am doing makes sense. I am credible. It was what I was missing. This training covers a very wide range of subjects , and I have learned a lot.
What sets The Aftercare Academy apart from other training providers?
The Aftercare Academy was established to address a critical gap in professional training for postoperative care. Too often, therapists opt for quick, superficial courses—sometimes entirely online—that lack depth and put clients at risk due to insufficient knowledge and practice.
All our workshops are approved by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT), the leading massage and bodywork membership body in the UK. On completion of any of these courses, you can become a member of the FHT and obtain insurance with the leading insurance companies in the UK.
We are an approved NCBTMB provider for the Advanced MLT and Treatment Protocols workshop. On completion of this workshop you will be entitled to 54 CE points. Provider number: 1001884
We do not hand out certificates to just anyone! There is a rigorous assessment process throughout the training, which you must pass before receiving your certificate.
- Individual module assessments in the pre-workshop learning
- Assessment of techniques throughout the workshop
- Assessment of protocols throughout the workshop
- Written case study to be submitted
- Practical case study on the final day
As long as your written and practical case study meets our standards and you pass the final theory assessment, we will very happily award your certificate.
What happens if you don't pass? You will be given the opportunity to re-do your case study

Hi! I'm Petra
When I started working with postoperative aesthetic and cosmetic plastic surgery patients, I had no clue what I was doing. Yes, I knew Manual Lymph Drainage and was confident treating people with lymphoedema and lipoedema. But, when it came to having someone who had just been through the trauma of a plastic surgery procedure I was scared I might do them more harm than good.
However, after twenty years of working with some of London's leading specialists in their fields of expertise, of working in both the NHS (National Health Service) and in private practice and in successfully helping thousands of different people from all around the world recover better after surgery, I now I use my own personal struggle to help people just like you find confidence and success working with this patient population.
Let me show you how you can increase your confidence, increase your client base and have a successful, thriving business treating post surgical patients.
