If you are experiencing lymphedema (swelling) in your arms and legs following cancer surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, our rehabilitation team can help. Physical and/or occupational therapy may be recommended by your physician as part of your lymphedema management plan.
We offer rehabilitation services for patients with:
- Limited range of motion

When lymphedema presents, the patient is offered a comprehensive approach to restore maximum level of function. Treatment may include:

- Posture and breathing exercises
- Aerobic and conditioning exercises
