What to Expect

 

Your first visit will begin with a thorough medical review, where our expert therapist will take the time to understand your medical history, symptoms, and any previous treatments you’ve had. Following this, we will take precise measurements of the affected limb(s) to establish a baseline and develop a customized plan of care. This plan is specifically designed to meet your individual goals, addressing both your immediate and long-term needs.

 

 

Initial Treatment Phase: Decongestive Therapy

 

Following your evaluation, therapy will begin with decongestive therapy, which focuses on reducing swelling and improving lymphatic flow. This hands-on treatment includes:

 

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): A gentle, therapeutic massage technique to stimulate the lymphatic system and reduce fluid retention.

 

• Short Stretch Bandaging: Specialized bandages that provide gentle, controlled compression to reduce swelling and promote fluid movement.

 

 

• Exercise Program: Tailored exercises that help increase muscle strength and enhance lymphatic circulation in the affected limb(s).

 

This phase continues until your desired limb volume is achieved, and then we move on to the Maintenance Phase.

 

 

Maintenance Phase

 

Once your swelling is under control, the maintenance phase begins, focused on preserving your results and preventing future swelling. This phase includes:

 

• Compression Therapy: Continued use of compression garments or bandaging to maintain optimal limb volume.

• Manual Lymphatic Massage: Ongoing lymphatic drainage techniques to sustain fluid movement and prevent fluid buildup.

 

• Exercise Program: Continued strengthening exercises to improve muscle tone, promote better lymph flow, and enhance overall function.

 

• Client Education: We’ll teach you how to manage your condition at home, including strategies for preventing flare-ups and maintaining your long-term results.
