Treating Lymphedema

Mountain Land Rehabilitation's lymphedema therapy program is built upon a combination of techniques called Combined Decongestive Physiotherapy, or CDP.

CDP has four components:

  • MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (a gentle massage) stimulates lymphatic passages to alleviate chronic symptoms including swelling, pain and loss of function.
  • MEDICAL COMPRESSION BANDAGING facilitates lymph flow, prevents refilling of the limb between treatment sessions, and encourages skin to reshape to a smaller size.
  • INDIVIDUALIZED EXERCISE PROGRAM enhances lymphatic drainage and also restores strength, flexibility, endurance and function.
  • PATIENT EDUCATION in skin care, hygiene, self massage, and lifestyle precautions.
