We have been treating patients with chronic lymphedema for over 30 years, whereas we specialize in the intensive treatment of the lymphedema of the arm following a breast cancer operation and of the lymphedema of the leg following an abdominal cancer operation.

Medical literature states that approximately one woman out of five will develop a lymphedema of the arm in the three years following a breast cancer operation and radiotherapy. The statistics are similar when it comes to operations following a cancer of the abdominal area provoking a lymphedema of the leg.

The pillars of edema therapy are therefore:

• Manual Lymph Drainage according to Dr. Vodder
• Bandaging
• Skin care
• Kinesitherapy

As well as respiratory exercises and special diet.

Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is medically secure and approved and reimbursed by health insurance companies.

The decisions concerning the choice of therapeutic measures are made exclusively by our physicians, all trained in the field of lymphology, who are responsible for the medical aspects of the treatment.
