Can I Benefit from Lymphedema Massage?
If you are experiencing pain, decreased movement and function, or just don't feel like yourself, manual physical therapy may be the solution for you.
Lymphedema is a condition that causes swelling in the extremities due to a build-up of protein-rich fluid in the soft tissues. It can be caused by cancer, radiation therapy, surgery, traumatic events causing injury such fractures or wounds, and tissue infection.
While there is no cure for lymphedema, treatment with a certified lymphatic therapist can help reduce swelling and prevent infection.
At deBorja Physical Therapy you will have a certified and experienced lymphedema therapist working with you. We will develop a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals. Lymphatic drainage can be an important part of your overall lymphedema management plan. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you manage your condition.
One of the most common conditions we help is lymphedema after breast surgery or breast cancer treatment. There are a multitude of side effects in addition to lymphedema that can develop in the months and years after completing cancer treatments, such as tightness, limited range of motion, heaviness, tissue fibrosis and pain from radiation, and swelling in the arm and torso. A certified lymphedema therapist and specialist in oncology can help you regain and live the active fulfilling life you deserve.
We'll make sure that your body is mobile, resilient, strong, and optimized for the performance of life.
