This is the Coast-to-Coast School of Lymphedema Management's Website.  Anne-Marie Vaillant-Newman, founder, offers several courses each year in order to provide PTs,  OTs and MDs with detailed knowledge of lymphedema management techniques.  We began offering seminars in this specialty in 1994 and to date, over 750 Physical and Occupational Therapists as well as Medical Doctors have attended them.  For information on upcoming seminars and their contents, go to the seminar info. page.   

    Lymphedema Management?

    Lymphedema, an impairment of the lymphatic system, may develop after cancer surgery and/or radiation therapy.  This condition results in chronic and debilitating limb or trunk swelling.  The same symptoms are observed in primary lymphedema, which is a congenital condition.  Management of lymphedema consists of a combination of manual lymph drainage, intermittent compression therapy, multilayer bandaging, and family and patient education regarding the etiology and treatment of this chronic condition.

    Our Mission

    Our purpose is to provide Physical and Occupational Therapists as well as Medical Doctors with the ability to evaluate edema patients and to design a comprehensive treatment plan for those patients.  We accomplish this through scientific and research-based education which adheres to the standards of the International Society of Lymphology. 

For more information on course content, refer to the seminar info. page.

       Our Core Values
    We want to be sure that we serve patients, first.   We are committed to restoring health, function, and hope to those patients afflicted with a disease that we need to treat to the best of our ability.  Our goal is to share our information with every health care professional willing to put the patient first.  We want to disseminate this information in order to make all persons participating in the patient’s care, aware of our goal.  Doing so we pledge to facilitate access to professional, quality care for patients.
