Edema

Compression therapy improves lymphatic flow.

Have you felt a heavy sensation or aching discomfort in your limbs? Perhaps you have noticed swelling, or your legs or arms feel tired? These are all early signs of edema.

Edema is best described as...

…pronounced swelling, often of the extremities. This swelling is actually an accumulation of excess fluid in the body tissues.

What causes edema?

Edema can be caused by:

Venous insufficiency causing blood flow to slow and blood to “pool” or fail to return to the heart;
Surgical procedures;
Injury to an affected area.
