Strategic Physical Therapy | Physical Therapist in Floral Park, NY
Lymphedema is the swelling of soft tissues as a result of the accumulation of protein rich fluid in the extra cellular spaces. It occurs most frequently in the arm and leg but can also be seen in the head, neck, chest, abdomen and genitalia. Lymphedema can be greatly reduced and managed through Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT). This includes compression bandaging, skin care, and patient-specific physical therapy exercises. Most patients will see significant results within the first two weeks of therapy.
If you are experiencing any of the below symptoms, you might have lymphedema. Remember, early detection is key to preventing and minimizing the effects of lymphedema.
