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.
