Lymphedema is swelling that occurs when lymph fluid can’t flow normally and builds up in a part of the body, often in the arm or leg.
Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is considered the gold standard for lymphedema treatment. It is a combination of manual lymph drainage (massage), taping, cupping, myofascial release, compression bandaging and garments, skin care, and exercises. These therapies are managed by a trained therapist. The therapist gives many treatments over a short time to help clear most of the swelling, then you can continue the program at home to keep the swelling down.
Sarah Dartiailh, Occupational Therapist and Certified Lymphedema Therapist is available for appointments and/or a free 10 minute phone consultation. Please call 204-987-9222.
