Jefferson Lymphedema Therapy Management

Lymphedema is a condition that involves a buildup of fluid in the body tissues.  It usually affects the arms or legs but may affect any body part.  Some cancer treatments can put a person at risk for lymphedema.  Our Jefferson Certified Lymphedema Therapist provides Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) using:

  • Manual lymph drainage
  • Compression
  • Skin/nail care
  • Exercise

Understanding the early signs of lymphedema and reducing your risk will help you. 

Rehabilitation after Breast Surgery

Breast surgery, whether it is elective cosmetic surgery or surgery for the treatment of breast cancer, both can bring about soreness, stiffness, reduced movement, and the need for muscle compensation. 

Our Jefferson Therapists provide services to restore upper-extremity mobility and motion.  Our experts can provide you therapy and exercise programs that increase your mobility and get you feeling better.

To learn more and/or make an appointment call Kevin Wegner, MS, OTR/L, CLT at 215-955-0768.
