You are here: What We Offer > Treatment Modalities > Lymph Drainage Therapy
Lymph Drainage Therapy involves gentle manual technique to aide in the circulation of lymph, the fluid that helps cleanse and detoxify the body. Breast surgery involving the lymph nodes often disrupts the ease of lymph flow creating stagnation of lymph resulting in lymphedema. This condition is disfiguring and can appear shortly after surgery but can also appear years later. The therapy also includes techniques to reduce scar formation and gentle progressive exercise program to improve function and reduce pain. Beyond treatment, it is important for patients to learn self-care skills for long term prevention and self-treatment.
Practitioner: Bretta Fabian, PT
