This month Dr. Barry Rose, board certified orthopedic surgeon and author of "The Cutting Edge of Compassion", interviews Bettina Neumann, founder of Rising Sun Physical Therapy discusses The Mind, Body Connection in The Treatment of Lymphedema.
When the circulatory system is not functioning properly a swelling condition can arise called lymphedema. This condition is often caused by cancer treatment surgeries or radiation as it was in Neumann’s condition. She was motivated as a breast cancer survivor after having to personally cope with an onset of lymphedema to work with cancer patients.
