Lymphedema is a chronic condition that can significantly impact quality of life if left unmanaged. Whether caused by surgery, cancer treatment, trauma, or congenital issues, lymphedema requires lifelong attention. In this informative seminar, certified lymphedema therapists from Monadnock Community Hospital’s Rehabilitation Services provide an in-depth look at how the lymphatic system functions, what causes lymphedema, and the most effective strategies for managing symptoms.

Why Lymphedema Management Matters

Unlike general swelling, lymphedema involves a protein-rich fluid buildup due to impaired lymphatic flow. Without proper care, this condition can progress, leading to skin changes, infection risks, and reduced mobility. Early intervention and consistent management are key to maintaining health and function.

What You’ll Learn in the Seminar:

  • How the lymphatic system works alongside your circulatory system

  • The differences between lymphedema and edema

  • Risk factors, symptoms, and stages of lymphedema

  • Treatment options including manual lymph drainage, compression therapy, and pneumatic pumps

  • Self-care practices for long-term lymphedema control

  • New advances in surgical and medical interventions
