A specialty program of the Integumentary Physiotherapy Institute
Lymphedema is a chronic condition caused by damage to the lymphatic system — most commonly after cancer treatment, surgery, or radiation. Without proper early intervention from a certified lymphedema therapist, it progresses.
Our CLT-LANA certified lymphedema therapist uses Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) — the internationally recognized gold standard — combined with advanced technology to reduce limb volume, maintain gains, and prevent complications such as cellulitis and lymphangitis.
Limb volume measurement, tissue assessment, history review, and personalized goal-setting with your certified lymphedema therapist.
Manual lymphatic drainage, multi-layer compression bandaging, skin care protocol, and therapeutic exercise — typically 2–5 sessions per week.
Custom compression garment fitting, self-care training, and a personalized home exercise program to maintain volume reduction gains.
Ongoing monitoring, garment updates, and patient education to prevent recurrence and manage flare-ups independently.
Volume tracked using circumferential and volumetric measurement throughout the entire program.
Restored range of motion, strength, and ability to perform daily activities without limitation.
Proper skin and tissue management reduces risk of cellulitis and lymphangitis episodes.
Education and home programs empower patients to manage their condition independently between visits.

After being diagnosed with lymphedema and starting treatment, my grandmother's legs look amazing. I completely trust Dr. Santiago — she is knowledgeable, caring, and wants you to understand everything she's doing and why.
I have been seeing Dr. Nilma Santiago for about three weeks and the changes in my legs are miraculous! My normal skin tone is back and the swelling is totally gone! Stop looking and give her office a call.
