Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is the cornerstone of effective lymphedema management. It’s a safe, non-invasive approach that helps reduce swelling and improve lymphatic drainage.
What is CDT?
CDT is a two-phase therapy designed to reduce and maintain the volume of swelling caused by lymphedema.
2 Phases of CDT: Intensive Phase vs Maintenance Phase
- Phase 1: Volume Reduction
- Phase 2: Volume Maintenance
Components of CDT
1. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
A gentle, therapeutic massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to move fluid.
2. Compression Therapy
Uses bandaging during the intensive phase and garments in the maintenance phase.
3. Exercise Therapy
Gentle exercises support lymph flow and reduce stiffness.
4. Skin and Nail Care
Proper hygiene reduces the risk of infections like cellulitis.
5. Education and Self-Care
Empowering patients with knowledge and tools for long-term management.
