What is CDT?
Complete decongestive therapy (CDT) is a treatment for lymphedema, edema, and similar conditions where swelling is present. Unlike other types of treatment for lymphedema, complete decongestive therapy doesn’t refer to a single treatment method. Instead, CDT combines several different treatment methods to help stimulate the lymphatic system and relieve the pain, swelling, and other symptoms that may be present with lymphedema.
