Due to the misinformation and lack of knowledge in the Medical community about Lymphedema and the therapy available to treat this condition, most physicians were not recognizing that if an edema is not reducing with conventional treatment such as diuretics and (RICE)-Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation, after ruling out all other medical possibilities, then it could simply be a “lymphedema”. The current focus is to utilize the knowledge and expertise of all of the therapists certified in the European Method of Manual Lymph Drainage for the purpose of reducing lymphedema/edema and empowering each patient with the education and information to maintain and improve their own quality of life through the use of treatment techniques and products that are appropriate for their individual needs.
