Lymphedema is a complex condition that affects millions of Americans. It is a disease all too often caused by surgery,
sedentary living, cancer therapy, poor vein health, infection, and a host of other reasons. Lymphedema results from damaged
lymph nodes or lymph vessels which cause an atypical accrual of protein-rich edema due to impaired transport capacity from
the lymphatic system, carrying bacteria, viruses, and other waste products away from the body. This results in chronic, painful
soft tissue swelling limiting a patient’s ability to walk and perform even the most basic activities of normal daily living. The
current supply of lymphedema therapists is estimated to be just 1 to every 100,000 lymphedema patients, creating a vast
shortage of those who can provide adequate care for this growing population.
This course provides clinicians with a thorough understanding of the lymphatic system and the complex pathology of
lymphedema. Attendees will be able to recognize the clinical presentation of lymphedema and appreciate the importance
of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). This seminar will not only help you treat your patients, but will also assist you in
teaching them proper life and limb saving self-care techniques.
