We specialize in Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)

The Gold Standard Treatment for Lymphedema

Manual Lymph Drainage
(MLD)

MLD is a therapeutic technique that involves performing slow, gentle, and rhythmic stretching of the skin in circular motions in order to promote the flow of stagnant fluids to healthy lymph vessels and nodes.

Compression Bandaging

We utilize short stretch bandages, not ACE bandages, to inhibit the build up of lymphatic fluid. Additionally, elastic tape may be applied to reduce pain and swelling.

Exercise

Remedial range of motion exercises assist in the mobilization of lymph fluid from the limb. This is achieved by the use of bandages and the activation of the muscle and joint pump.

Skin Care and Hygiene

It is essential to conduct meticulous skin and nail care inspections to prevent bacterial and fungal infections. Prior to each bandaging session, the application of pH-balanced moisturizing lotion to the skin is recommended.

Cancer Rehab

Addresses issues associated with: chronic pain, neuropathy, muscle weakness, lymphedema, decreased range of motion, lack of endurance, fatigue, post surgical complications, education for cancer survivors/caregivers to address psychological concerns associated with cancer

Physiotherapy plays a very important role in the rehabilitation of patients with cancer from diagnosis to the end of life.

Physiotherapy manages a myriad of musculoskeletal impairments that are commonly experienced by patients with cancer. Cancer patients may report muscle weakness, difficulty breathing, fatigue and pain. They may also have a decline in activities of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL). Patients and caregivers may also experience depression, anxiety and feeling of overwhelm. Cancer patients can benefit from physiotherapy interventions to improve their health, physical function, independence, and quality of life.
