About

Buffalo Lymphatic Management is an Occupational Therapy private practice founded in 2021 by Philip Wojtas and Alexis Manning. Both of the owners recognized a need for increased access to Lymphedema services in the area, and decided to open a practice that offers Complete Decongestive Therapy to service the Buffalo area. 

Both owners have a passion for treating Lymphedema, and they are both Certified Lymphedema Therapists (CLT) by the Academy of Lymphatic Studies. 

As this is an Occupational Therapy based practice, treatment focuses on increasing function when performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) and improving quality of life

Lymphatic Services

Your Lymphatic System is a critical component of your health and well-being. Water that leaves the blood entering into interstitial space is responsible for picking up and removing toxins, viruses, bacteria, long-chain fatty acids, and excess protein. Make an appointment to learn more about how you can manage your Lymphatic System, specific to your individual situation to gain optimal health.

Complete Decongestive Therapy

Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is a non-invasive treatment for Lymphedema. Treatment may consist of exercise, compression, bandaging, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. The goal of the treatment plan is to increase the flow of lymph through the Lymphatic System.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a manipulation of the skin that is part of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) for Lymphedema. It is also used as a treatment alone to help with other conditions that stem from a damaged and or sluggish Lymphatic System.
