Lymphedema Therapy
The specialized team from CHPT, now Wellness 360, provides Lymphedema Therapy tailored to your needs. It features Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), expertly administered compression bandaging or garments, targeted exercises to enhance lymph flow and regain strength, flexibility, and motion in affected limbs, and specialized techniques for cording, fibrosis, and scar release. Regain control and comfort with comprehensive lymphedema care.
​
Each treatment begins with a full evaluation, including girth measurements of the limb(s) and the development of goals for you to meet. Subsequent visits include Complete Decongestive Therapy. Equally important to the treatment is the home management and exercise program you will be given.
​
Initially, your therapist may want to see you two or more times per week until the reduction stabilizes. Since lymphedema is a lifelong condition, your therapist will teach you self-massage, exercise and bandaging so you may manage your lymphedema at home. You may need to come in for occasional MLD as needed, if you experience a flare-up of swelling.

How to Schedule an Appointment

Do I need a script from my Medical Doctor?
No, in most cases, you do not need a script from your doctor to set up your initial evaluation for PT. In NY, you are allowed ten visits or up to 1 month of PT visits without a script. This is called Direct Access. We will be in direct communication with your doctor about your treatments. In some cases, you will need a script. Please call 585-259-0782 to find out if you can participate in Direct Access.
