lymphedema

Sunrise has treated lymphedema patients since the day we opened in 1995.

 

Jamie Mason, PT, DPT owner of Sunrise Physical Therapy Services, was the first in Ventura County to offer a specialized program to effectively treat and manage lymphedema.

 

Prior to starting her own practice, Dr. Mason, PT, DPT, specialized in caring for patients with edema in Ventura County.

No other practice in Ventura County has more years of experience treating lymphedema patients using a complete decongestive program. 

About Lymphedema 

Lymphedema is the buildup of lymph in the tissues, mainly in the fat just under the skin, and is caused by a problem in the lymphatic system. Lymphedema is an abnormal collection of too much tissue protein, fluid (edema), chronic inflammation, and leads to thickening and scarring of connective tissue.

With treatment, most patients show a reduction in swelling and improved function. As treatment progresses, patients often enjoy a return to their normal activities and lifestyle.

 

As an extension of the Cancer Rehabilitation Program, Sunrise Physical Therapy Services provides a comprehensive treatment plan that will assist patients in reducing, delaying, and preventing the progression of Lymphedema.

 

Our licensed physical therapists have specialized training in Lymphedema treatment. The process is individualized to address each patient's specific needs and includes the following:

 

  1. Evaluation to determine the proper course of treatment.

  2. Manual Lymph Drainage to drain the lymph fluid from the affected limb.

  3. Bandaging & Compression to prevent fluid from re-accumulating in the limb.

  4. Exercises to activate the muscle joint pump resulting in reduced swelling.

  5. Sequential Pumping with state-of-the art pneumatic pumps to maximize the swelling reduction.

  6. Assistance in selecting equipment and proper compression garments.

  7. Follow-up treatment with evaluations at scheduled intervals
