What is lymphedema therapy?

Managing lymphedema, gently

Lymphedema is swelling that happens when lymph fluid builds up in the tissues, often in an arm or leg. Therapy uses gentle manual lymphatic drainage, compression, and specific exercises to reduce swelling and help you move and feel more comfortable. Care is one-on-one and paced to what your body needs.

  • Reduce swelling. Gentle manual techniques to help move excess fluid.
  • Improve comfort. Ease the heaviness and tightness that come with swelling.
  • Support daily life. Restore easier movement and a better quality of life.
