Dr. Barry Rose interviews Bettina Neumann, founder of Rising Sun Physical Therapy to discuss The Mind, Body Connection in The Treatment of Lymphedema
When the circulatory system is not functioning properly a swelling condition can arise called lymphedema. This condition is often caused by cancer treatment surgeries or radiation as it was in Neumann’s condition. She was motivated as a breast cancer survivor after having to personally cope with an onset of lymphedema to work with cancer patients.
The Rising Sun treatment program includes Lymph Drainage Therapy, Compression Therapy, exercise for recovery, and self-care goals to decrease the symptoms and manage lymphedema.
