Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy
Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy (DLT) is a type of
physical therapy that is used to treat
lymphedema, a condition in which excess fluid
builds up and causes swelling, particularly in
the arms and legs. DLT is a two-part therapy that
includes manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and
compression therapy.

• DLT is a two-part treatment that includes
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) This is a gentle
  massage technique that is used to stimulate the
  flow of lymphatic fluid in the affected area. The
  practitioner uses light, rhythmic strokes to help
  move the fluid out of the affected area and into
  the lymphatic system.
• Compression bandaging Once the fluid has been
  removed, compression bandages are applied to the
  affected area to help reduce swelling and prevent
  the fluid from returning. The bandages needs to
  be worn for a certain period of time each day and
  then removed for a period of time to allow the
  skin to breathe- your practitioner will advise
  you on this
• Exercises You practitioner will also teach
  exercises to do at home to help pump the
  lymphatic fluid and reduce the swelling.

Research has shown that DLT is effective in
reducing swelling and improving quality of life
for individuals with lymphedema. A study
published in the Journal of Vascular Surgery
found that DLT led to a significant reduction in
arm volume and an improvement in quality of life
in individuals with postmastectomy lymphedema. As
DLT is a multi-modal approach it is used for
several conditions like lymphedema, lipedema,
post surgical swelling and post-traumatic
swelling.
