Edema Management

As a Certified Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, I can help decrease swelling caused by lymphedema, acute edema or chronic venous edema using a blend of manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy and self-care education. For some, this may look like working with me over the course of weeks to reduce edema and move into more of a management phase. For those who have already reduced and are in the management phase, these sessions can be used as a check-in and touch-up.

​

Reduction and management of edema takes time and require daily maintenance on the client's end. The gold standard for edema reduction is 5x/week for at least 2 weeks, though this differs by person and severity. For those seeking edema management services, we will start by creating a treatment and payment plan that works best for your body, your schedule and your needs.

 

Ultimately, the goal of these sessions is to not only reduce edema, but leave the client feeling empowered and able to manage their edema on their own and come in for work on an as-needed basis.
