Lymphatic massage, or manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), is a specialized therapy that encourages the movement of lymph through the lymphatic system. This clear fluid carries away waste, toxins, and other debris from your bodily tissues, playing a crucial role in immune system function and detoxification.
Unlike deep tissue massage therapy, this treatment uses gentle, rhythmic strokes on the skin's surface to promote lymphatic drainage, support blood flow, and reduce fluid retention. The benefits of this technique are especially valuable during healing, helping to reduce swelling and enhance overall recovery.
The success of lymphatic drainage therapy is tied closely to your provider's training and experience. This is especially true during postoperative recovery, when poorly performed techniques can interfere with healing or cause discomfort.
At InHands San Jose, our licensed therapists are trained in advanced methods like Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). They know how to work safely around surgical sites and sensitive areas, providing tailored care that is both effective and supportive for your health.
InHands is a sanctuary for personalized recovery. Founded by Heather Gavric, a renowned specialist in post-surgical rehabilitation, our San Jose location blends clinical excellence with luxurious comfort.

Your session starts with a one-on-one consultation where we learn about your symptoms, surgery, and recovery needs. Then, in a private suite, we use soft, flowing movements mapped to your body's lymphatic system.
The goal is to stimulate lymph flow, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy circulation, all without discomfort. Most clients find the treatment deeply relaxing, with sessions lasting about 45–60 minutes. Over time, this gentle stimulation helps remove toxins and supports long-term reduction in swelling and soreness.
Lymphatic massage offers remarkable benefits even for those not recovering from surgery.

It's an ideal complement to any wellness or skincare routine.
