"From the moment I started my session, I felt comfortable and relaxed. The treatment was not only pleasant but also immediately effective. Heather's expertise shone through as she used a variety of techniques including ultrasound and red light therapy, making the session diverse and comprehensive."
"What I appreciated most was the holistic approach. My therapist empowered me with knowledge, showing me how to massage my face to continue reducing swelling at home. This 'homework' made me feel like I had some control over my recovery, which was incredibly reassuring."
"The level of care I received was absolutely fabulous. Heather's extensive knowledge and her arsenal of tools and techniques set this treatment apart. While I've never had post-surgical lymphatic drainage before, I can confidently say that this experience was exceptional."

Heather's expertise and the immediate, visible results make this treatment invaluable for anyone in recovery. It's not just about reducing swelling; it's about regaining comfort and confidence in your body."
I highly recommend In-Hands Overnight Care! Recovering post-operation can be stressful, but the exceptional care gave me complete peace of mind. For 24 hours, I felt completely supported and pampered.Living in San Francisco while having my surgery in San Jose presented a logistical challenge, but this service was the perfect interim solution. I was able to rest and recover with expert care before transitioning to stay with a friend in San Jose and then finally back to SF. It made the whole process seamless and stress-free.They had everything on hand—meds administered via IV, coconut water, sparkling water, and anything else I needed to stay comfortable and hydrated. The sponge bath was soothing, and the attention to detail was next-level. They even incorporated meditation and red light therapy, which added a calming and healing dimension to the experience.Special shoutout to Molly, Arianna and Chris, who were simply amazing. Their professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness made all the difference. Also, a big thank you to Heather for coordinating everything so efficiently and ensuring the process was smooth and stress-free.If you’re looking for top-tier post-op care with every detail covered, look no further. This team goes above and beyond!
If you’re looking for the absolute best post-op massage care, look no further—Heather is truly a gem! After my surgery out of town, I had no idea where to go for the right post-op care. I tried a couple of places, but nothing felt quite right—until I found Heather. From my very first session, I knew I was in expert hands. She is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle yet effective, and genuinely cares about her clients’ recovery.Not only is her technique top-notch, but the entire experience is amazing. Her space is warm, cozy, and incredibly calming—exactly what you need when healing. After every visit, I walk out feeling relief, comfort, and real progress in my recovery.I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re recovering from surgery or just need expert lymphatic massage, do yourself a favor and book with Heather. She is hands down the best!
InHands is by far the best aftercare choice. I recently spent two nights after elective surgery. The level of luxury and care I experienced here was amazing. From the small recovery room at the surgery center, InHands picked me up and took me to their facility.The doctor gave the nurse all of my postoperative medications and instructions. I was guided gently into the bedroom, where there was a cozy adjustable bed and many pillows! The relief I felt not having to think about when I needed to take medication or how to get up to get to the restroom was so nice. Everything was so clean and felt like a luxury getaway.I am a very independent and have a hard time letting someone else take care of me. However, I felt so well cared for and safe that I enjoyed the help.The kitchen was filled with items I had indicated I loved in the intake form submitted before my surgery. They also provided a healthy menu with prepared selections.Once again, the nurses were incredibly friendly and attentive; I worry I might have overwhelmed them with conversation! I was so happy to be there that I didn't want to leave--and I didn't, truly! After consulting with my surgeon, I went back for lymphatic massages twice a week with Heather. If you haven't experienced lymphatic massage yet, I highly recommend that you get introduced to it by someone like Heather. She is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about helping people heal. I am confident that the recovery therapy I've received from Heather has significantly decreased my pain and accelerated my healing process.I am truly grateful to have found InHands and would recommend Heather and her team to anyone seeking a stress-free postoperative recovery.
I feel so incredibly lucky to have had someone recommend InHands therapy and recovery to me! I have been struggling with some long term health issues and my practitioner suggested I start getting regular lymphatic work done to help get my drainage pathways moving. A friend spoke very highly of InHands so I scheduled an appointment. I have had lymphatic work done in the past and when I say InHands is by far the best experience I have ever had I am not exaggerating. I highly recommend InHands!
After my surgery, I had a lymphatic massage, and it was an incredible experience! The therapist was professional and knowledgeable, making me feel at ease from the start. The gentle, rhythmic pressure helped reduce swelling and discomfort, leaving me feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated. I noticed a significant improvement in my recovery, with reduced puffiness and increased energy. If you're recovering from surgery and looking for a treatment that supports healing while offering relaxation, I highly recommend it.
I wholeheartedly recommend InHands Postoperative Therapy and Recovery Center. Heather and her team are truly exceptional. With over 30 years in the medical field, I can confidently say there’s no other place quite like this in the Bay Area, or even all of Northern California. I was thoroughly impressed by the facilities, the ambiance, the food, and the meticulous level of care.The services offered include 24-hour medical care from highly skilled RNs, a fantastic menu that surpasses anything I have at home, and even red light panel therapy. The adjustable beds and soothing music added to the comforting environment. The center boasts two gorgeous recovery suites on the second floor, while the ground floor offers incredible lymphatic massages by highly skilled OT's that that help accerelate healing and recovery.Look no further to anyone having surgery, InHands is the best for anyone in need of a post opertaive care for recovery care in the Bay Area.
This was, hands down, the best decision. I choose to spend an entire 7 days post surgery and it made all the difference in my recovery. Elective surgery was something my family and I were very new to, and it was a daunting task for us to develop a care plan especially for the days immediately following. I had multiple body procedures, and I live a small distance from the area. The staff knew exactly how to handle me when being moved and transported, kept me comfortable and absolutely on top of pain management and all while monitoring for any possible scenario. All issues my family would have been overwhelmed with managing. If you've never been through a surgery like this, you can't fathom all of the above. My surgeon was kept informed, on a daily basis, and able to do my post op appointments while in the comfort of my recovery suite.Leaving was bittersweet, my husband and I left knowing that In Hands was ABSOLUTELY the way to go, and that we had met some of the most caring nurses who we could without a doubt consider friends. The peace of mind the whole team delivered was beyond my expectation!!
I’m currently 5 weeks post-op from a tummy tuck, hernia repair, 360 lipo (arms and legs—yes, I went all in), and I truly don’t know where I’d be without InHands Post Op Recovery. I started coming here just 5 days after surgery, and from my very first visit, I felt like I was in the best hands possible—literally.Heather, the owner, is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your recovery journey. It makes a huge difference knowing she’s been through it herself. Every therapist I’ve seen—RNs and OTs—has brought not only expert-level lymphatic care but also a strong medical background that gives me peace of mind with every session.The facility is beautiful, new, and always spotless. My surgeon recommended them, and honestly, it’s the best thing she’s ever done for me (besides, you know, cutting me open and snatching my waist 😅).The therapists don’t just go through the motions—they educate me, calm me, and help me feel 10x lighter (physically and mentally) every time I walk out. These massages have been a total game changer for my recovery and overall well-being. I’ll continue going here for months to come, surgery or not.Bonus: they also offer red light therapy and let me try it for free on my birthday. Who does that?! Angels, that’s who.To everyone at InHands: thank you for helping me heal, feel human again, and avoid turning into one big puffy potato. 💛
