Lymphedema Treatment in Edmonton | Mobile Massage & Lymphatic Centre

At Mobile Massage & Lymphatic Centre in Edmonton, we specialize in Vodder’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Complete/Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) to treat both primary and secondary lymphedema. Our approach focuses on reducing swelling, improving circulation, and helping clients manage their condition with long-term results.

Comprehensive Lymphedema Assessment in Edmonton

Your treatment begins with a 30-minute consultation and assessment, which includes:

• A full client case history

• Detailed physical assessment

• Volumetric measurements of both affected and non-affected areas

• A personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs

Lymphedema Therapy Protocol

Depending on the severity and underlying condition, treatment may include:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) sessions

• Compression bandaging to support swelling reduction

• Therapeutic exercise instruction to promote circulation

• Skin care education to maintain tissue health

Treatment can range from a few MLD sessions without compression to a more intensive protocol. For severe lymphedema, we may recommend daily 75–90 minute sessions over 10–14 days.

Compression Garment Fitting & Ongoing Care

After an intensive therapy series, clients are re-measured to determine volume reduction. At this stage, you will typically be fitted for a custom compression garment. We also provide guidance on self-management techniques, home exercises, and follow-up treatments to ensure results are maintained.

Our therapists are also available to collaborate with physicians and healthcare providers regarding your ongoing lymphedema care.

Contraindications for Lymphatic Drainage

While MLD is highly effective, it may not be appropriate for certain health conditions. Please consult with your physician or one of our therapists if you are experiencing:

• Untreated malignant disease

• Acute infections or inflammations

• Recent thrombosis

• Severe cardiac insufficiency

• Renal failure
