About our Lymphedema Therapy Program:
Trained and certified therapists provide complete decongestive physiotherapy, the most effective practical treatment for lymphedema. This therapy involves manual lymphatic drainage, compressive bandaging, exercise, and patient education. Treatment ranges from two to six weeks, followed by a home maintenance program.
What We Focus On:
- Exercises: gentle contraction of the muscles in the limb can help move the excess fluid out.
- Manual Lymph Drainage: massage-like technique using very light pressure to move the trapped fluid in the swollen limb toward an area with working lymph vessels.
- Compression: bandages and/or compression garments
- Skin Care/Hygiene Education
