Complex Lymphatic Therapy

CLT is a treatment modality for the management of Lymphoedema. Lymphoedema is swelling which occurs due to some kind of problem with the Lymphatic system. It is most common as a complication post cancer treatment, particularly post breast cancer. CLT uses five pillars of treatment to support the Lymphoedema sufferer.

1. Skin Care
2. Manual Lymphatic Drainage
3. Decongestive Exercise
4. Compression (bandages or garments)
5. Home programs

Usually a client will require around 3-5 treatments to create a management program which best suits them. Once established a treatment is usually needed around every 4-6 weeks to maintain optimum health.
