Lymphedema & Edema Care
Lymphedema
Our physical therapy team provides comprehensive treatment for lymphedema to help reduce swelling, improve comfort, and restore function. Lymphedema can occur after surgery, cancer treatment, injury, or from chronic circulatory conditions, often leading to heaviness, tightness, pain, and limited mobility. We take an individualized approach to help patients safely manage swelling, improve daily function, and return to the activities they enjoy with greater confidence and comfort.
Common Symptoms
Pain or decreased range of motion
Numbness
Tight/heavy sensation
Repeated episodes of infection (cellulitis)
Wounds
Cosmetic deformity
Hygiene and Topical skin care
Our therapists will educate you on proper skin care to decrease risk of skin breakdown and reduce your risk of infection
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Treatment sessions will include manual lymphatic drainage to assist with fluid management. It’s commonly used to manage Lymphedema, especially after cancer treatment, surgery, radiation, infection, or lymph node removal.
Bandaging & Training
Lymphedema bandaging is a compression technique used to reduce and control swelling by helping lymph fluid move out of the affected limb. Our team specializes in upper and lower body bandaging techniques to decrease swelling and manage fibrosis
Compression Garments
Our Certified Lymphedema Therapists can assess and measure for a wide variety of ready-to-wear and custom options. We also partner with a wide range of trusted vendors to give you access to high-quality compression garments, and we guide you through every step—from selection to proper fit—so you can feel confident in your care and daily wear
Wound Care
Wounds can often occur in later stages of lymphedema. Our physical therapists provide specialized wound care treatment for patients with chronic wounds, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure injuries, and wounds associated with lymphedema and swelling disorders.
