Lymphedema Therapy
Our lymphatic system is a network of vessels that transport protein-rich fluid around and out of the body, as the body’s own waste system.
Injury/illness that result in accumulation of this fluid or imbalance in the body’s lymphatic system, can causes swelling, skin breakdown, infections, and hardening of the tissue.
Lymphedema therapists are trained in Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) which utilizes massage, wrapping, and exercises to help the body properly move and process lymphatic fluid.
