🚫 MYTH: Treatment for lymphedema is a long, painful ordeal.
✅ FACT: Most people work with a certified lymphedema therapist for just 4–8 weeks to learn the skills they need to manage lymphedema confidently and independently.
While lymphedema requires lifelong self-management, intensive clinic treatment is typically short-term. And when compression bandaging is applied correctly, it should not be painful or keep you from participating in your daily activities.
One of the biggest barriers to getting help is fear of the unknown. The truth? Effective lymphedema treatment is designed to support your comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
If you’ve been putting off treatment because you thought it would be overwhelming, this is your reminder: help is available, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. 💙

We’re so grateful for this wonderful review of our oncology massage therapist! Your kind words remind us why we do what we do—helping you feel comfortable, supported, and cared for every step of the way. Ready to experience the healing power of oncology massage? We’d love to see you at Cancer Rehab Austin!

"Theresa solved a shoulder/arm problem for me with her therapeutic massage techniques. She had a variety of things she tried until she found one (or combo of things) that worked. I really appreciate that when I come for a session, she is prepared with a plan, but always takes the time ask how things have been with my issue before executing the plan in case modifications are needed. She is professional and really knows her stuff!"

It is that time of year again! Our director of rehab Angela Wicker-Ramos was honored to do an her annual lecture for the doctoral physical therapy program at Texas Stare University on “How to Safely and Effectively Work with the Oncology Population.” These students are about to go out on their clinical rotations at the end of their program and were bright eyed, bushy tailed and eager to learn. Thank you Texas State for including this important topic in your doctoral program curriculum.

Fun Fact Friday! Here is a little tea on lymphedema.

Myth “A person is no longer at risk for developing lymphedema after 5 years.”
The truth: While the risk does decrease over time, lymphedema can develop at any point after cancer treatment—even years later.

Awareness is key. By staying informed and proactive, you can better protect your long-term health and well-being. If you have questions or concerns, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
