Lymphedema is an accumulation of lymphatic fluid that can develop anywhere in the body. This can be a result of fewer/damaged lymph vessels or following cancer treatment or surgery to lymph nodes. Lymphedema can cause swelling, heaviness or pressure in the involved area of the body. Certified Lymphedema Therapists can best evaluate you, answer your questions, and recommend an optimal plan of care specific for your needs.
Cancer and cancer-related treatments can cause a variety of physical issues to occur. These issues may include pain, numbness, swelling, weakness, loss of balance, and difficulty moving or walking. According to the American Cancer Society, people undergoing cancer treatment, and cancer survivors, should maintain consistent physical activity to decrease fatigue and improve the ability to perform daily tasks. Physical therapists create treatment plans that use physical activity to help cancer survivors manage side effects of treatment and cancer-related problems, improve their health and function, and return to work and other activities.
