Did you know Venice is one of the top ten happiest coastal towns? For a small town, Venice is brimming with tons of activities. Want to idle away the days? Venice has parks galore, the incredible beach, wildlife watching, and plenty of informal eateries. Want to be active? When was the last time you went hunting for shark teeth, played beach volleyball, or a round of golf? There’s also always something new to discover about our historic buildings. These are just a few of the many things we love about Venice.
With the variety of things to do both day and night, why sit at home with Lymphedema in pain and feeling miserable? Maybe you don’t know you have Lymphedema, but have had surgery and need to be screened. Functional Transformation Mobile Rehab are certified Lymphedema specialists. We don’t want a single member of our Venice community to miss out on Venice’s charm and beauty.
Lymphedema, a build-up of fluid, usually in the arms or legs, which causes swelling, may slow wound healing, and increase your risk of infection.
As you may know, to date, lymphedema has no cure. It is a condition that requires lifetime management. Living successfully with lymphedema depends upon yourself, your family, and your caregiver.
Types of lymphedema:
Lymphedema Symptoms:
Talk with your doctor about lymphedema therapy if you have any of the above.
FTMR’s specially trained lymphedema therapists have gone through the intensive certification process at the Academy of Lymphatic Studies for treating this condition.
Because we have decades of experience treating Lymphedema, we appreciate how limiting and uncomfortable lymphedema can be and how it can restrict your quality of life.
During our first visit to your home, our Functional Transformational Mobile Rehab Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) evaluates you, they explain your condition and ways to reduce your risk of developing or controlling it. They discuss your health challenges, self-care management, answer questions and detail your treatment options.
Together, you decide on the best treatment regimen. Our CLT starts your therapy plan while explaining and demonstrating the procedures, so you can manage your lymphedema and return to the quality of life you’re missing. FTMR’s CLTs always conduct your therapy session in the comfortable surroundings of your home.
On-Going Care:
In our follow-up visits you’ll learn to:
The goal of our therapy is to reduce your swelling and maintain a reduction in fluid volume. Our patients have seen great success with our tailored therapy strategy.
From our experience, when we come to our patients’ homes, we find that our patients and their caregivers see faster improvement and gain a better grasp of managing their Lymphedema so they can live a normal life and enjoy the riches Venice offers.
Your Treatment
If you have lymphedema, we use a combination of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), manual, gentle lymph drainage massage, compression bandaging, and skincare. This is often referred to as the “gold standard” treatment. It includes:
Our CLT comes to you! FTMR provides the benefits of a traditional outpatient therapy clinic without the complications faced when traveling to a clinic.
We all know finding a ride when you need to travel for your therapy can be a headache and painful, especially if you’re struggling with limited mobility. Plus, unnecessary travel or exposure outdoors increases your risk of getting infections. It’s an important consideration especially if you are still healing from major surgery.
By coming to you, we can check that you are sticking to your Lymphedema regime, so you see improvement faster.
FTMR gives you customized care and personalized Lymphedema therapy on your schedule. This means appointment flexibility for you. And we never over-schedule. You benefit from one-on-one time with our CLTs
We’re a Medicare Part B-approved provider. You don’t need to be home-bound to use our services. If you are a traditional Medicare Part B patient, expect to pay no more than you typically would at a brick-and-mortar facility. If you have secondary insurance, there are no out-of-pocket costs.
