Lymphedema and Complete Decongestive Therapy

Complete Decongestive Therapy is the Gold Standard for Lymphedema TreatmentLymphedema is an abnormal accumulation of protein rich fluid due to a mechanical insufficiency of the lymphatic system resulting in excess swelling and soft tissue damage in a limb. The lymph system is impaired, limiting normal transportation of lymph fluid as it returns to the circulatory system. In the U.S., lymphedema is related to secondary causes such as cancer treatment and primary causes such as a congenital impairment of the lymphatic system.

This seminar will provide you with an intense understanding of the imbalance of fluids at the capillary bed and lymphatic drainage and transport. You will understand the “why” behind the effectiveness of Complete Decongestive Therapy through a thorough understanding of the lymphatic system and individual patient treatments. Pictures and videos of real patient treatments will be shown throughout the seminar to strengthen your knowledge base.
