Anatomical Precision.
Restorative Flow.
Targeted Complete Decongestive Therapy and clinical lymphatic drainage delivered directly to your home across Greater New Orleans. Led by Carrie Patterson, OTR/L, CLT-ALM for oncology recovery, post-surgical edema, and chronic lymphedema.
Conditions We Treat
Specialized decongestion protocols designed to reduce swelling, soften fibrotic tissue, and restore natural movement.
Post-Operative Edema
Targeted care for reconstructive and cosmetic surgery recovery. Accelerates fluid evacuation, minimizes seroma formation risk, and gently softens restricted scar tissue.
Oncology Swelling & Radiation Fibrosis
Experienced decongestive protocols for head, neck, breast, trunk, and limb swelling following lymph node dissection or radiation therapy.
Primary & Secondary Lymphedema
Gold-standard Complete Decongestive Therapy to reduce persistent limb volume, soften fibrotic tissue, and restore comfortable daily mobility.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
Phlebolymphedema management for lower-extremity heaviness, venous stasis discomfort, and precision medical gradient compression fitting.
Lipedema Symptom Care
Hyperalgesia-safe manual drainage adapted specifically for tender adipose tissue. Reduces heavy, aching sensations without painful deep pressure.
Diabetic Wound & Dependent Edema Support
Gentle peri-wound fluid evacuation to oxygenate tissue beds, promote granulation, and support skin defense in high-BMI or dependent swelling.
Fourteen Years of Specialized Clinical Practice
Carrie has practiced as an occupational therapist for over 14 years—spending 8 years in outpatient rehabilitation and 6 years in home health. For more than 7 years, she has served as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist with Advanced Lymphedema Management (CLT-ALM).
Her clinical work spans complex oncology recovery (head and neck, pelvic, breast, and extremity lymphedema), reconstructive and cosmetic surgical edema, hyperalgesia-safe lipedema care, and venous stasis ulcer management. Rather than rotating patients among assistants, Carrie conducts every evaluation, manual session, and compression garment fitting directly one-on-one.
“Restoring lymphatic flow requires treating the nervous system, skin integrity, and daily routines as one connected whole.”
