Compression Garments

SDK Therapy is a Multidisciplinary Practice offering Occupational and Physical Therapy
All of our therapists specialize in oncology rehab and lymphedema. Our recommended treatment approach is likely to be similar across the two disciplines. The difference is related to treatment philosophy and emphasis.
Occupational Therapy emphasizes restoring activities of daily living (ADLs), such as exercise routines, carrying a toddler, taking a shower, or walking your dog, and addresses both physical and emotional limitations.
Physical Therapy also focuses on ADLs, but with increased emphasis on physical movement. Physical therapy can address orthopedic issues, as well as gait and balance.
Our multidisciplinary team allows us to co treat or refer patients between disciplines as needed. During your first visit with us, we will evaluate your needs to determine if you need Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, or both.
