Oncology Rehabilitation
Breast Cancer & Lymphedema
Treatments that save a life—mastectomies, axillary lymph node dissection, and radiation therapy—frequently damage the fragile lymphatic system. When this occurs, protein-rich fluid backs up, causing uncomfortable, heavy swelling in the hand, arm, or breast. This is secondary Lymphedema.
"We utilize the clinical gold-standard four pillars of CDT to manage oncology swelling, restoring comfort and functional limb geometry to breast cancer survivors."
The Clinical Protocol
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Specialized, non-invasive skin manipulation to bypass damaged corridors.
Medical Compression
Advanced, custom-measured garments tailored to your specific tissue density.
Decongestive Exercise
Targeted physical mapping to prioritize system flushing.
Specialized Skin Care
Meticulous hygiene protocols to prevent radiation-induced infection.
The Pre-Op Baseline
If you have upcoming surgery or radiation, it is critical to schedule a baseline measurement before your procedure.
Establishing this baseline allows us to track fractional changes in limb volume post-surgery, catching issues in their most manageable stages.
Ongoing Support
Lymphedema management is a marathon, not a sprint. We provide the clinical infrastructure for your long-term success.
