Therapist Training
Patients: In the treatment of lymphatic disorders, ReMarx Medical Services always recommends as a first step you connect with a well-trained and
experienced therapist who has undergone training in the four components of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT). You are invited to contact us for names of well-trained and experienced therapists in your area. Most experienced therapists understand the positive impact pneumatic compression can have once the patient has completed their first series of CDT treatments. We all have the same goal in mind: Improving the quality-of-life for those who have been diagnosed with chronic lymphedema.
Therapists: CDT is a highly successful treatment for chronic lymphedema of the upper and lower extremities. CDT is sometimes referred to as Complete Decongestive Physiotherapy (CDP) or Complex Decongestive Physiotherapy. CDT consists of four basis steps:
- Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD);
- Compression Therapy;
- Exercise;
- Skin Care.
There are numerous courses you can attend throughout the United States, most of which are rather comprehensive. We do have our bias, and for that information you can contact us toll free at 1.888.673.6279.
