Lymphedema Management

Reduce Swelling. Improve Comfort. Regain Mobility.

Comprehensive decongestive therapy to effectively manage lymphedema and chronic swelling conditions.

Overview

Lymphedema is a chronic condition characterized by localized fluid retention and tissue swelling, often occurring after cancer treatments (like lymph node removal or radiation) or due to vascular issues. Without proper management, it can lead to reduced mobility, discomfort, and an increased risk of infection.

Our specialized lymphedema physiotherapy focuses on Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) to reduce swelling, maintain the reduction, and educate you on long-term self-management strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
MLD is a gentle, skin-stretching massage that helps redirect lymphatic fluid from swollen areas to healthy lymphatic vessels.
Do I have to wear compression garments forever?
Lymphedema is a chronic condition, so lifelong management is typically required. Compression garments are a crucial part of maintaining the fluid reduction achieved during therapy.
