Description
Are you hitting a wall with post-op complications? Do some of your patients meet their goals ahead of time, while others struggle no matter what the both of you do? Sometimes forcing a window open is counter-productive. Learn how to address the edema in the joint post-operatively to allow room for motion in the joint and increase outcomes with ROM and strength goals - all the while decreasing pain and increasing function for the patient. Manual lymphatic drainage and appropriate compression can add measureable decreases in limb girth with each session - learn how!
