"My healing accelerated"
★★★★★

My doctor recommended post-op lymphatic drainage massages for 6 weeks post op to help with healing and fluid build up. I was able to quickly book and every massage I feel better and less swollen when I leave.

Wonderful customer service and care. This was a great massage where I felt comfortable, relaxed but also educated through the experience. I can't wait to go back.

Today I went in for an hour-long deep massage with Lalita and she was absolutely incredible. I feel like a whole new person — the entire experience my first time there was amazing. She was so respectful, so sweet, and she gave me what I paid my money for. I will definitely be returning and asking for her.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Quick answers to the questions clients ask before booking.

How soon after surgery can I start?+
Most surgeons recommend beginning lymphatic drainage within 1–2 weeks of a procedure like BBL, liposuction, or tummy tuck. We'll review your discharge instructions and surgeon's recommendations at intake and adjust the session accordingly. When in doubt, call us and we'll help you determine the right start time.
How many sessions will I need?+
For post-surgery recovery, most clients do 6–12 sessions over 4–8 weeks. For chronic fluid retention or general wellness, 3–6 sessions typically produces noticeable results. Our multi-session packages save up to 20%. Your therapist gives you a personalized recommendation after your first session.
Will I feel results after the first session?+
Many clients notice reduced swelling, lighter limbs, and improved mobility after just one session. Results vary based on your condition and how long fluid has been present. Post-surgery clients especially often report significant improvement in the 24 hours following a session.
Is lymphatic drainage safe for me?+
Lymphatic drainage is safe for most people. However, there are contraindications including active infection, blood clots (DVT), congestive heart failure, and certain cancers. We conduct a full health intake before every session. If you have a medical condition, bring your physician's notes or call us in advance.
Will I be sore afterward?+
Unlike deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage uses very light, rhythmic pressure — it should not be painful or cause soreness. Some clients feel mild fatigue or increased urination after a session as the body processes cleared fluid. You may also feel noticeably lighter within a few hours.
Is it covered by insurance?+
Some health insurance plans and FSA/HSA accounts cover lymphatic drainage when it's medically necessary (e.g., lymphedema with a physician's order). We provide a receipt for reimbursement. Check with your provider directly.
What should I do before and after my session?+
Before: drink plenty of water, avoid heavy meals 2 hours prior, and wear loose comfortable clothing. After: keep hydrating, avoid alcohol for 24 hours, and do gentle walking to support continued lymph flow. Your therapist gives you a written aftercare plan.
How soon will you contact me after I submit?+
We confirm all appointments within 24 hours by phone or text. For same-day availability or urgent post-surgery needs, call us directly at (959) 400-9242 and we'll do everything we can to fit you in quickly.
