Oedema therapy

Are you suffering from abnormal fluid build-up in your arm or leg? If so, you are probably suffering from (lymphatic) oedema. These fluid accumulations can limit you considerably in carrying out your daily activities and can also cause a lot of pain.

Oedema can occur in various complaints and/or conditions

After surgery in which glands have been removed
After oncological surgery
After radiotherapy , chemotherapy or drugs
For thrombosis symptoms
After blood vessel surgery
Lipoedema

Hormonal cause

"When symptoms persist or keep returning, FRISKFYSIO is the solution for you! During your first appointment at FriskFysio, an interview and extensive examination will take place and your complaints will be mapped out by one of our professionals. Based on this outcome, we will determine which treatment best suits your complaint(s). Together, we will then draw up a clear treatment plan and you will be given exercises to take home with you via our FRISKFYSIO APP."

Treatment of (lymphatic) oedema can consist of several components

Massage; this involves one of our therapists massaging the fluid to another spot in the lymphatic system, allowing it to be absorbed into the circulation
Compression therapy; with bandages, pressure is applied to the fluid accumulation. This keeps the fluid from moving and stimulates drainage
Lymftaping; works the same as compression therapy, but with tape
Exercise therapy; you do this yourself under the guidance of one of our therapists. Alternately, you tense and relax your muscles. This 'pumps up' blood and fluids, as it were.
