Lymphedema develops as a result of interruption of the lymphatic system (e.g. trauma, cancer(treatment), infection) or genetic dysplasia or malfunctioning of the lymphatic system. Early detection and treatment is important to minimize health problems. As lymphedema is a chronic condition, it is important to minimize swelling, educate patients in self-management, and optimize muscle strength and cardiovascular capacity. Complex decongestive therapy is a specialized intervention. However, with cognition of pathology of lymphedema and best practices in treatment, a general physiotherapist can treat patients with lymphedema as well.
