SOZO®
Physical Therapists certified in Lymphedema treatment use SOZO® to
detect the presence of Lymphedema 10 months sooner than previous methods.
Early detection allows patients to minimize the impact of this condition.
To get a measurement with SOZO®, patients take off their shoes and
socks, and place hands and feet on the designated areas of the machine
for 30 seconds. Once the measurement is complete, your therapist will
discuss your results with you and tailor a treatment plan to fit your
needs. This is a simple and painless method of detecting lymphedema and
monitoring progress.
Men and women who have cancer, lymph nodes removed during surgery, radiation
treatment, or an infection are at risk for lymphedema and would benefit
from a SOZO® screening.
