Treatment for Lymphoedema
The treatment for lymphoedema is called Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) which includes Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), compression bandaging, therapeutic exercise, skin and nail care, compression garment fitting and personalized education in self-care. MLD is a gentle, hands-on massage that moves lymphatic fluid from the affected area to the healthy parts of your lymphatic system.
What is Lymphoedema ?
Lymphoedema is an accumulation of fluid in the body that causes chronic inflammation and hardening of the tissues. This edema, or swelling, can occur in the face, neck, arm(s), chest, leg(s) or trunk. It can occur due to an underdeveloped lymphatic system, known as Primary Lymphoedema. It can also occur when lymph nodes have been removed or damaged due to surgery or trauma, known as Secondary Lymphoedema.
