Cancer Support Therapy

We provide a two-stage treatment approach, beginning with gentle lymphatic drainage tailored specifically for oncology patients. During diagnosis and active treatment, care focuses on supporting immune function, reducing swelling, encouraging healthy lymphatic flow, and promoting comfort.

As healing progresses and scar tissue or fibrosis develops, treatment transitions into specialized manual techniques to improve tissue mobility, soften restricted areas, and support range of motion. When appropriate, we may also incorporate high vibration therapy, cupping, and kinesiology taping to support lymphatic flow and recovery.

I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Alejandra. I went in for scar tissue treatment and lymphatic massage, and the results were beyond anything I expected. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely cared for and completely at ease from the lead to my massage therapist who conducts a thorough evaluation.

Their knowledge, technique, and attention to detail were incredible. They took the time to understand my concerns, explained the process thoroughly, and customized the treatment specifically for my needs. I could literally feel the difference during and after the session — reduced tightness, better mobility, less swelling, and overall relief I hadn’t experienced in a long time.

What truly sets them apart is their compassion and professionalism. You can tell they are deeply passionate about healing and helping their clients feel their best. The environment was calming, clean, and welcoming, which made the entire experience even more therapeutic.

If you are looking for someone highly skilled in scar tissue work and lymphatic massage, I wholeheartedly recommend them. This was one of the best bodywork experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m so grateful I found them.

Carolina and crew are all fabulous! They go through intensive training besides their own certification. I have had 6 different therapist and ALL have been the GREAT! My doctor asked what I was doing to help with my healing because he was very impressed with the results. I told him I was going to Carolina Therapy massage. The doctor can only do so much, it’s what you do after to heal that determines results. I will not just come here for healing, I plan to continue my services for even relaxation. I can’t say enough good things about everyone here!! Especially thanks to Alexis, Michelle, Alejandra, Karla, Tiffany, Adrianna…

P.S. the decor is gorgeous and the professionalism in the office is superb!

Carolina and her team provided an experience I will truly never forget. From the moment I walked in, I felt cared for, understood, and genuinely supported. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and the level of compassion they showed throughout my lymphatic massage journey went far beyond my expectations.

Carolina has such a calming presence and a true gift for what she does. You can tell she is not only skilled, but deeply passionate about helping others heal and feel their best. Every session felt intentional, and I always left feeling lighter, refreshed, and more in tune with my body.

What meant the most to me was how much heart her and her team put into their work. They didn’t just treat me like a client, they treated me like someone who truly mattered.

I will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication Carolina and her team showed me. If you are considering lymphatic massage, I cannot recommend them enough, they are truly exceptional.✨🌟🌟

I had an extended tummy tuck, liposuction on the bra area, back, and flanks. So far, I have had 4 lymphatic massages and it has been such a wonderful experience here at Carolina Pintos Therapy. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with friendly faces. Everyone is so nice to you. Dani is such a wonderful person. She is very knowledgeable and explains everything she is doing. Dani made me feel so special and comfortable. You can tell she loves what she does and treats you like family. I was very impressed when the owner, Carolina Pintos, came in to see me and personally greeted me. It is rare when an owner of an establishment comes to greet you personally. I would highly recommend coming here for your post-op care. I see they have a lot more to offer here besides lymphatic massages. Once I am all healed I plan to try some of their other massages and facials. Dani is so wonderful that I booked all of my 15 lymphatic massages with her. She is super friendly. I always walk out of my sessions feeling better and relaxed.

I have been going to Carolina Pintos Therapy for my post op lymphatic massages. I recently had a breast lift and contouring lipo. I had heard of the benefits of lymphatic massages for years but finally have had a strong enough reason to give it a go. I see Dani and Catherine 2x a week and my healing has sped up exponentially as well as the expected release of the retained fluid. The practice is clean and beautiful and the therapists beyond knowledgeable plus they CARE about you and your health. Even after I am healed this will be a practice that I incorporate into my routine monthly because the benefits are just so strong. Very thankful my doctor recommended this practice and am more than happy to recommend it to anyone else!

Dani was absolutely amazing. She was very professional and incredibly educational, taking the time to explain how lymphatic drainage works and what my body needed post-op. I noticed a visible difference immediately after my session. I would 100% recommend her, she’s one of the best staff members at Caroline Pintos.

Dani was amazing. Seeing her smiling face from the moment I arrived was very welcoming for my first appointment. She was very kind and provided excellent service. She made sure that I was comfortable and informed about the service I was receiving, then answered all of my questions. The lymphatic drainage service was very gentle. I will be back.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I receive Cancer Support Therapy while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation?

Generally yes, but treatment must be adapted to your medical condition and approved by your physician. During active treatment, care is usually very gentle and focused on comfort, swelling reduction, lymphatic support, and relaxation. We avoid aggressive pressure, irritated tissue, radiation sensitive areas, ports, surgical sites, and any area your medical team has restricted.

Is Cancer Support Therapy only for after cancer treatment?

No. Cancer Support Therapy may be helpful during diagnosis, active treatment, post surgical recovery, and long term survivorship. The techniques used will depend on your treatment stage, symptoms, surgical history, lymph node involvement, and tissue sensitivity.

What is the difference between lymphatic drainage and Cancer Support Therapy?

Lymphatic drainage focuses mainly on encouraging healthy lymphatic flow and reducing swelling. Cancer Support Therapy is broader. It may include oncology lymphatic drainage, scar tissue care, fibrosis treatment, mobility support, high vibration therapy, cupping, and kinesiology taping when appropriate. The goal is to support the body through different stages of cancer treatment and recovery.

Does Cancer Support Therapy Help With Pain & Swelling?

Yes. Many oncology patients report reduced swelling, pressure, heaviness, tightness, and post-surgical discomfort after treatment. Gentle lymphatic techniques may also promote relaxation and support overall recovery during and after cancer treatment.

When should I contact my doctor before scheduling?

You should contact your physician before treatment if you have active infection, sudden or severe swelling, unexplained pain, fever, redness, warmth, blood clots, heart or kidney concerns, open wounds, or active cancer treatment restrictions. Physician approval is especially important during active treatment or when there is metastatic disease.

Can Lymphatic Drainage or Cancer Support Therapy Spread Cancer?

No. Current evidence does not show that properly performed Manual Lymphatic Drainage or oncology informed Cancer Support Therapy spreads cancer. Our Cancer Support Therapy is a gentle, clinical approach designed to support healthy lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, improve comfort, and address scar tissue or fibrosis when appropriate.

Treatment is always adapted to the patient’s diagnosis, treatment stage, surgical history, and medical precautions. For patients currently undergoing cancer treatment, or those with active disease, metastatic disease, infection, blood clots, or other medical concerns, physician approval is required before beginning care. Our goal is to support recovery safely while respecting the body’s healing process and the guidance of the oncology team.

How does lymphatic drainage help if my lymph nodes were removed?

When lymph nodes are removed or damaged, fluid may have a harder time moving through its normal pathways. Gentle lymphatic techniques are used to encourage fluid toward healthy, functioning lymphatic pathways and surrounding regions that can still support drainage. This may help reduce swelling, heaviness, tightness, and discomfort.

Can scar tissue or fibrosis make swelling worse?

Yes. Scar tissue and fibrosis can restrict tissue mobility and make it harder for fluid to move efficiently through an area. When appropriate, specialized manual techniques may help soften restricted tissue, improve mobility, and support healthier fluid movement.

When should I transition from lymphatic drainage to scar tissue or fibrosis treatment?

You do not need to determine that transition on your own. During each session, we evaluate your swelling, tissue texture, sensitivity, range of motion, scar tissue, and fibrosis to decide what your body needs.

Early treatment often focuses on gentle lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling, support lymphatic flow, and promote comfort. As healing progresses, if scar tissue or fibrosis begins to restrict movement, create tightness, or affect fluid movement, we incorporate specialized manual techniques to soften restricted tissue and improve mobility.

Scar tissue and fibrosis care are included as part of your Cancer Support Therapy when needed. There is no separate upgrade or added service required. Our goal is to adapt your treatment at every stage of recovery so you receive the right care at the right time.

Is Cancer Support Therapy painful?

Lymphatic drainage should not be painful. It is typically gentle, light, and calming. However, when treatment includes scar tissue or fibrosis work, some patients may feel discomfort, especially in areas affected by surgery, radiation, or restricted tissue.

We always adapt the pressure and technique to your tolerance. The goal is never to force through pain, but to safely improve tissue mobility, reduce tightness, and support recovery at a pace your body can handle.
