Lymphedema Evaluation and Treatment

The gold standard of treatment for lymphedema management is complete decongestive therapy which consists of: good skin care, thorough patient education, therapeutic exercises, manual lymphatic drainage, and compression. Each patient will receive individualized treatment and excellent care to meet their personal and physical therapy goals.

Sessions are 45 - 60 minutes and consist of thorough, cleansing, and relaxing manual lymphatic drainage to affected extremities. Sessions are designed for anyone, but specifically for those who have completed their plan of care in our lymphedema center and need extra MLD following discharge from plan of care.
