Lymphedema Physical Therapy In Los Angeles | Mobile Physical Therapy and Wellness

Lymphedema therapy is a specialized approach designed to manage and alleviate the symptoms associated with lymphedema, a condition characterized by swelling due to an accumulation of lymphatic fluid. This often occurs following surgery or treatment for cancer, particularly breast cancer, when lymph nodes are removed or damaged. Early intervention is crucial, as untreated lymphedema can lead to discomfort, restricted movement, and increased risk of infection. The therapy typically includes complete decongestive therapy (CDT), which encompasses manual lymph drainage, compression techniques, skin care, and therapeutic exercises. These therapies work together to reduce swelling, improve limb function, and enhance the overall quality of life for those affected.
