What is Complete Decongestive Therapy?

CDT is a structured, multi-faceted program that addresses the root causes of swelling and discomfort. This highly effective treatment involves four key components:

  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Gentle, hands-on techniques to stimulate lymph flow and reduce blockages.

  • Compression Therapy: Bandaging and garments to control swelling and maintain results.

  • Skin Care: Preventive measures to protect skin health and avoid complications.

  • Exercise Therapy: Customized movement plans to support lymphatic flow and overall mobility.
