I’ve been to other post-op centers, and while I won’t name names, it’s clear they don’t truly know what they’re doing. Some even try to imitate Carolina Pintos Therapy, but there’s simply no comparison. This is hands down the best place in Houston for post-op care, lymphatic massage, and general therapy for anyone dealing with immune complications. Thank you for being so amazing! 🙂

I had three separate surgical procedures done in late November (2024) one week off of a cycling accident that landed all of my body via my rib cage on a steel railing. I was a hot mess of need: post-op lymphatic drainage, scar tissue work, and tender loving care. With, I think, 15 or 16 sessions behind me so far, I've got enough interactive experience to say that Carolina Pintos Therapy has delivered far above my expectations. Patty, Patricia, and Jaquline have been a DREAM TEAM of expertise, guidance, and personality. I have hung on their every word of advice and tried to follow-through on everything they've suggested or instructed between sessions, including their insistence that I ditch the getting-too-big, soul-sucking faja I got from the surgeon and level up to the Forma Tu Cuerpo line. Do you know how well-designed a faja has to be to make a woman actually feel sexy in it despite her 152 stitches and dog-eared stomach?! Given how well my healing has gone, confetti and cheering, please, for these three amazing women who have paid fierce attention to me, advised me well, and boosted my confidence. I am literally in the best of hands.

I went to Carolina Pintos Therapy after being recommended by my PS for post operative lymphatic messages. I had several sessions with a total of 4 different therapist which were Claudia, Verlene, Jacqauline and Netta which all did an amazing job but after my session with Netta, she was always my first choice. She’s great at what she does and she knows her stuff and not to mention how strong and firm her hands are. She always answered all my questions and I learned something new every time I saw her along with her always giving me tips. I could notice the swelling go down immediately after every session with her. Hands down she’s the best which explains why I always had to book in advance for her since she was always booked.

I LOVE coming to Carolina Pintos!! The newly renovated space is lovely and welcoming. Jaquline is an absolute angel --- she has hands of gold and such a beautiful, warm spirit. She does all my massages and I wouldnt have it any other way. I always feel so refreshed and much looser after she works her magic on my body, which is amazing because I hold a lot of tension and stress. Cant wait to go back!

In November 2024 I started my Lymphatic Therapy due to a medical procedure. The staff at Carolina Pinto is very professional and caring. You feel welcome as soon as you walk in. The owner: Mrs Carolina introduced herself to me and let me know she was there to answer any questions I may have. My Therapist Jasmin displays great concern also about my care. She is an awesome massage therapist, and make me look forward to my visits. Thanks to everyone at Carolina Pinto Massage.

I had my first post partum massage here and this place was so gorgeous and chic! However, I was not a fan of my massage therapist. She was not welcoming, friendly or made me feel relaxed at all. She massaged me with gloves on for the entire 2 hours and used so much pressure that I was sore for the next 2 days. I understand that she needed to use more pressure than usual since I was recommended a deep tissue massage by Carolina but I wish the massage therapist had told me beforehand of what to expect. Also, if a client flinches or says she’s in pain during the session, I would expect them to at least acknowledge it. I would have loved for her to explain what was going on with my body but she was pretty much silent the entire session. I did not like her bedside manners at all and I expected a better service for the price I paid for.The initial consultation with Carolina was great. She assesses your pain and recommends different massages to relieve it. She’s a PT so she has the credentials and is very knowledgeable in her field. I appreciate that she is also mother and was able to relate to her clients.

I came to Carolina Pintos therapy with aches and pains all over my body! I told Verlene all my issues and she immediately began to work her magic!! She truly has the magic touch! I left this place feeling refreshed and pain free. I was so happy and impressed that I scheduled another appointment for next month! Verlene is the BEST ❤️
