What is Complete Decongestive Therapy?
Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is a comprehensive approach to managing lymphedema, a condition characterized by the accumulation of excessive lymphatic fluid, leading to swelling in various parts of the body. Lymphedema can result from the removal or damage of lymph nodes, often due to cancer treatment or other medical conditions.
CDT is a specialized therapeutic approach that involves a combination of techniques and strategies to reduce swelling, manage symptoms, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals with lymphedema.
