Lymphedema Care
At Athena Wellness and Physical Therapy, our lymphatic massage sessions focus on gentle, targeted care to help reduce swelling, improve comfort, and protect your long-term well-being.
Our sessions include a full assessment, hands-on lymphatic massage, and education to help you understand and manage your symptoms.
Lymphedema often begins with subtle signs — such as a feeling of heaviness, fullness, tightness, or aching in the arm or breast before any visible swelling occurs. If you notice these sensations (and they don’t feel like typical muscle soreness), it’s important to schedule an evaluation with a certified lymphedema therapist.
Early assessment makes a HUGE difference for long term management.
