Our team develops a personalized treatment plan that includes manual lymphatic drainage techniques, compression therapy, and exercises to improve lymph flow. We also provide education on skin care, self-massage techniques, and lifestyle modifications to manage your symptoms. With our convenient care options, you can effectively manage your lymphedema and improve your quality of life from the comfort of your own home.
