Lymphedema
At Therapy SPOT Bellaire, we offer specialized lymphedema therapy services to help manage and alleviate the symptoms of lymphedema, a condition that causes fluid retention and swelling, typically in the arms or legs. Our occupational therapists are specially trained in manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), compression therapy, exercise programs, and skin care techniques to reduce swelling and improve overall quality of life for individuals living with lymphedema.
Lymphedema can occur after surgeries such as breast cancer treatments, cancer-related surgeries, or other medical conditions that affect the lymphatic system. At Therapy SPOT Bellaire, we provide compassionate, personalized care to help you manage your symptoms and prevent further complications.
Our Lymphedema Therapy Services Include:
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): A specialized, gentle massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, promoting the flow of lymph and reducing swelling.
- Compression Therapy: The use of compression garments or bandaging to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent the return of fluid accumulation.
- Therapeutic Exercises: We design custom exercise programs that promote lymphatic flow, improve mobility, and strengthen muscles to support the affected limb.
- Skin Care and Education: We provide essential skin care advice to help prevent infection and maintain healthy skin, which is especially important for individuals with lymphedema.
- Self-Management Techniques: Our therapists teach you practical self-care strategies so that you can manage lymphedema independently at home, empowering you to stay in control of your health.
