How do I find a therapist who is qualified to perform treatment?
Complete Decongestive Therapy, sometimes referred to as CDT, is the gold standard of care for lymphedema therapy. Treatment is performed by a trained physical, occupational, or massage therapist, and can also be performed by a trained nurse or doctor.  The National Lymphedema Network endorses the minimum training and testing that require a clinician participate in at least 135 hours of qualified instructional course in CDT.   These hours should be spent both in the classroom learning about the lymphatic system, as well as in the lab with hands-on training. 

Questions to ask when finding a Lymphedema Therapist
- Are you a CLT (certified lymphedema therapist)?
