Lymphedema therapy in Whitesboro, Texas

Lymphedema Therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on managing lymphedema, a condition where lymphatic fluid builds up in the tissues, causing swelling, discomfort, and reduced mobility. Lymphedema can occur due to surgery, radiation, infection, or congenital issues that affect the lymphatic system.

Therapy typically includes manual lymphatic drainage (gentle massage to stimulate lymph flow), compression garments or bandaging, targeted exercises, and skin care education.

The goal is to reduce swelling, improve lymphatic circulation, prevent complications such as infections, and restore functional movement.
