Standard treatment is Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) which entails physical interaction with a therapist to imitate the drainage of the edematous fluid along with training to continue self-care at home. We present a case study of initiating CDT totally online. The result showed that, though totally online lymphoedema care is possible, hurdles do exist. It can be an option to exercise even after the COVID period.
