Lymphedema rehabilitation is a specialised programme designed to manage swelling caused by an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in tissues. It aims to reduce swelling, improve limb function, protect the skin and help patients manage the condition long term.
People with lymphedema caused by cancer treatment, surgery, lymph-node removal, infection or problems with the lymphatic system may benefit from rehabilitation. It can also help patients experiencing heaviness, tightness or reduced movement due to swelling.
Lymphedema occurs when the lymphatic system cannot drain fluid effectively, causing it to build up in the tissues. It may be inherited or develop after cancer treatment, surgery, radiation therapy, infection, injury or other conditions affecting lymphatic drainage.
Treatment can use techniques such as manual lymphatic drainage, compression and therapeutic exercises to encourage fluid movement and improve lymphatic circulation. The approach is personalised according to the location and severity of the swelling.
Treatment may include manual lymphatic drainage, compression bandaging or garments, therapeutic exercises, skin care and education on self-management. These approaches are often combined as part of complete decongestive therapy when appropriate.
