“I was having a lot of swelling in my leg. I knew something was wrong but I didn’t really know what to do about it. After seeing my doctor I was referred to Alison for Lymphedema Therapy. She was very caring and took the time to explain everything to me. Through wrapping we got my swelling significantly reduced. She fit me for a custom sized compression sleeve for my leg to keep the swelling down consistently. I’m so thankful to her for helping me!”
