Complete Decongestive Therapy.
Complete Decongestive Therapy is a method of treating Lymphedema that involves daily drainage and bandaging through a special massage technique called Manual Lymph Drainage. This technique moves fluid to parts of the body with healthy lymph vessels that can absorb and process the fluid through the veins. When swelling has decreased, patients are fitted with custom garments to begin the maintenance phase of treatment. The garments are worn through the day to prevent swelling.
