Lymphedema is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the arms, legs, or chest, which can occur due to an injury, medical condition, or surgery. This can lead to a decrease in range of motion, increased fatigue, and be a source of discomfort and pain. Physical therapy is often the most effective way to treat lymphedema, as it can help restore strength and flexibility, while providing pain management and preventing the formation of fibrotic tissue, which can restrict movement.
