I tried several therapist out at other businesses before I came here. The first time here I got Rebecca as my therapist and I was about to be a month out of mommy make over and I could immediately tell this style lymphatic massage was above and beyond and others I experienced! Rebecca has 18 years experience and she also told me some other therapist there have 20 + years. There are top of the line devices used. Rebecca is nice to talk to as well but she always focuses on the job at hand! Carolina hires only the best! Also, I had an infection come up after 30 days and I was very concerned about it. Carolina, the owner, would come in and check on me. She also would contact me to get updates on my infection. She even came on her off day to check on me in person! This really boosted my morale and this confirmed I was in the right place for my healing journey after a major surgery. Also, even with no infection Carolina checks on me to this day to see my progress. I am extremely happy I found Carolina Pintos Therapy and Rebecca!

Highly recommend Carolina Pintos Therapy! Do not go anywhere else! Even if it’s a drive, like it is for me, it’s completely worth it. Their therapists are amazing. I specifically recommend Patty and Patricia for lymphatic massages and scar tissue massages and Eunice for facials. Patricia, Patty, and every single therapist I have worked with here are extremely knowledgeable and have guided me through the post-op care process with exceptional care. They take time to educate me during every single session on what I can do to see the best results for my body including recommendations around nutrition and products that will enhance recovery. They also update me on improvements and their current area of focus. I love my doctor but this practice has definitely been a game changer in my healing. If you have surgery, do not skip out on the massages! They are worth it on their own but are invaluable thanks to Carolina and her staff.

Juana is my therapist and I just trust her so much. She explains all that she is doing and makes me feel amazing after each session. Whether it was my post slimming, contouring & lymphatic drainage I always leave feeling confident and amazing after each session!
The staff is quick to reply to any messages and so very polite and professional. Customer service is amazing!

Thank you

I had a lot of swelling and discomfort post-op so a friend recommended a lymphatic massage. (My surgeon did not mention it!) it has been a game changer, the swelling started going down soon after my first massage and I am finally able to sleep throughout the night because I am no longer so uncomfortable. Katherine is amazing..she takes the time to educate me on what and why she is doing certain things and takes her time. I am deeply grateful to have found Katherine; she has made a significant difference in my recovery!

I’ve been here twice so far and many more to go. I’ve gotten the lymphatic drainage massage (about 2 hours ago) so I can’t give my full review on that yet.
My first session was the sculpting/contouring massage and I should’ve done that after the drainage massage. I did notice a pretty drastic difference the first time so I can only imagine after 5-6 more sessions.
I haven’t had any surgeries but I did have a baby 3-4yrs ago. I get my massages from Dani. Such a sweet, bubbly, lady ❤️ very informative as well.

Only reason I’m giving it a 4/5 is because the prices are pretty high, I won’t lie. But they’re known to be the number 1 post surgery massage spa so I guess they have to charge accordingly.

I’ve been coming here for a few months now for post-op massages, and I can truly say the difference has been amazing. The massage techs — Patricia, Dane, and Jacqueline — have all been wonderful. They are knowledgeable, gentle when needed, and always attentive to my comfort during each session. Not only have I noticed a great improvement in my recovery, but I also feel supported and cared for every time I visit.

I highly recommend this place to anyone needing post-op care or just looking for skilled and compassionate massage therapists. They’ve been a big part of my healing journey!

At our clinic, we are dedicated to providing you with the best care possible.

Q: Why do I need treatment after my surgery procedures?

A: Medical massage and therapy will help move the fluid by gently pumping access fluid through your lymph vessels into your lymph nodes. This will reduce swelling and discomfort. Without Medical massage and therapy the inflammation can evolve into fibrosis (a permanent hardening of the tissue) or a seroma can form. Many doctors prescribe a lymphatic drainage massage after liposuction or other plastic surgery procedures to make sure their patients get the best possible results from their procedure. Depending on your inflammatory stage, we might also introduce other therapy treatments, like the use of taping, or the use of post-op medical machines. These machines can further break down scar tissue, and help prevent other complications. Because our bodies heal and react differently to surgical procedures, there is never a cookie-cutter process for post-surgery recovery. That is why we recommend that you book an appointment and have Carolina Pintos prescribe your treatment in person.

Q: How much is a massage or treatment?

A: Our massages and treatments range from $134 to $169 depending on what you are looking to get.

This discount can be utilized at your discretion, either immediately or on a future visit. Points can also be transferred as virtual gift cards to friends or family. 

Q: How many sessions do I need to book for post op recovery?

A: This largely depends on the type of surgery you had and on how your body is dealing with the trauma of the surgical procedure(s), there is no cookie cutter treatment(s) for post surgery recovery.
