Effective Swelling Management for Long-Term Relief

Lymphedema is a chronic condition that causes swelling, typically in the arms or legs, due to a buildup of lymphatic fluid. It can occur as a result of cancer treatments, surgery (such as post-mastectomy), radiation, infections, or genetic conditions. If left untreated, lymphedema can lead to discomfort, reduced mobility, and an increased risk of infection. At Request Physical Therapy, our certified lymphedema therapists provide specialized care to help you reduce swelling, improve circulation, and restore mobility.
