Lymphedema Education from Norton School
Several of my colleagues have taken lymphedema certification courses with another school. I am the first at my facility to become certified through the Norton School. Now that we are all treating patients together, I am convinced my training is simply superior. Some of my colleagues wish they had chosen the Norton School and will certainty be attending Advanced Topics courses with the them in the future! Thank you so much!

Lymphedema Information
As modern medicine is just starting to understand the lymphatic system and lymphedema, lymphedema treatments are still very much in the early stages of development.
Most lymphedema treatments are based on Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). This involves wearing tight fitting bandages to help push lymph out of the affected limb and to stop extra fluid retention. The bandages are worn whilst performing specific exercises designed to stimulate lymph flow and reduce the swellings. Manual lymph drainage massages are also performed which encourage lymph flow. Proper diet is also advised.
Originally, exercise was not prescribed as it was thought that putting the limb under any kind of stress would cause more swellings and irritate the lymphoedema. Now though new research is proving that exercise is actually beneficial and that people whom regularly exercise have much less symptoms of lymphedema than people who don't.
