Lymphedema Management
Lymphedema is the buildup of fluid in the lymphatic system, which absorbs and transports various fluids in the body. Cancer and its treatment can sometimes block or damage the lymphatic system, causing lymphedema. Our physical therapists and occupational therapists develop personalized treatment plans for lymphedema, including options such as:
- Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), gently stretching the skin to increase lymph flow from swollen tissues to healthy parts of your body
- Wrapping your affected area with low-stretch bandages or prescribing compression garments
- Skin care, breathing and exercise instruction
- Compression pumps, in combination with manual lymphatic drainage
