THE LEGS.
LYMPHEDEMA THERAPIST JULIE REED
SAYS ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO CURE
YET, SEEING A PATIENT'S DAY TO
DAY LIFE IMPROVE IS HER BIGGEST
REWARD.
"Seeing the progress and seeing
them explain how it's
progressing, how maybe things
are getting easier in their life
or changes they're seeing that
they're excited about."

LIGHT MASSAGING, COMPRESSION
THERAPY, AND WRAPPING.
