Physical therapist-led recovery optimization in San Jose
Wendy Noakes, PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS brings 15 years of physical therapy and fitness experience, plus MLD certification through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies, to help San Jose clients prepare, recover, and return to movement with more confidence.
Why physical therapist-led care
Manual lymphatic drainage uses light, slow, rhythmic techniques intended to encourage lymphatic flow and support fluid movement. Wendy pairs that gentle hands-on care with practical rehab and fitness planning so clients understand what to do before, between, and after visits.
Your plan can include mobility work, breathing, gentle activation, walking progression, scar-sensitive movement education, and return-to-exercise guidance within your provider’s restrictions.
