"lymphatic drainage massage"? https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/21768-lymphatic-drainage-massage

Looks like it is treatment for cancer patients.
My gf does these lymphatic drainage massages because of exactly that. She had cancer and beat it over 10 years ago now but it wrecked her lymphatic nodes in places which causes swelling of body parts. These massages can help to relieve that a little.
Ironically what exacerbates it is any kind of exercise, she doesn't let that hold her back and is extremely active but going for a walk can actually cause swelling and so a lymphatic drainage massage might help that after the fact.
Same with my wife. A tummy tuck results in swelling by the end of the day if she pushes it too much. She is still incredibly active, even works as a fitness instructor and her coworkers call her nuts for how much she does. But sometimes she just needs some targeted massaging and rest.
