Lymphedema is a chronic condition where the normal return of lymph is not possible because the lymphatic system is not working properly. It requires lifelong management.

​Lymphedema therapy includes hands-on manual lymph drainage treatment, education about self-care, and compression therapy.

Lymphedema most commonly develops following cancer treatment with radiation and lymph node removal, but can also be the result of other factors, including genetic malformation of the lymphatic system.
