Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this randomised comparison study is to compare different bandage interface pressures in individuals with breast cancer related lymphedema The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is high or low bandage pressure effective in reducing edema and soft tissue thickness? * do bandages applied with high or low bandage pressure comprimise sleep, comfort or subjective benefit from treatment? Participants will recieve complex decongestive physiotherapy. Bandage will apply high or low pressure. Effects of high and low bandage interface pressures will compare
