Today is World Lymphedema Day ๐
Lymphedema is a chronic condition that causes swelling due to a build-up of lymphatic fluid, most commonly in the arms or legs. It can occur after surgery, cancer treatment, infection, or trauma.
Early treatment can make a big difference. Physiotherapy plays an important role in managing lymphedema through:
โข Manual lymphatic drainage
โข Compression therapy
โข Exercise and movement
โข Education on long-term management
If you or someone you know struggles with persistent swelling, donโt ignore it. Support and treatment is available.
