October is breast cancer prevention awareness month! As survivorship has increased with early detection and intervention, there are more people that are now at risk of developing breast cancer related lymphedema. Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) allows for detection and intervention for lymphedema much earlier. Lymphedema surveillance programs with BIS do for lymphedema what mammograms have done for breast cancer!

This technology is available here and now at Advanced Therapy Specialists! Call or email for more information.

Dear PTs and OTs,

Please consider adding CLT/"Certified Lymphedema Therapist" to the letters after you name!!! You are needed! More of us means better health for so very many!!! Call us (319-377-0937) if you want to know more. Read below for scholarship info:

The LE&RN/Lymph Notes U.S. Lymphedema Therapist Scholarship was established to meet the need for additional certified lymphedema therapists. Despite increasing awareness, there is only one therapist for every 1,000 people living with lymphedema in the U.S. Scholarships are awarded annually in memory of writer and lymphedema advocate Ann Ehrlich who initiated the awards in 2013.

Scholarship Details
Up to $1,000 towards a Full Lymphedema Certification Course offered by a certification program at a qualified training school pre-approved by LE&RN.
Funds will be applied directly to the course tuition.
The Lymphology Association of North America (LANA) will contribute a free LANA exam to scholarship winners who meet the LANA eligibility criteria. This is a $430 value.
Scholarships may NOT be applied to courses that have been completed or are in progress prior to notification.
Special consideration will be given to professionals working with underserved populations in the U.S.
We anticipate being able to award at least ten scholarships this year.

Sandy has some openings Thursday and Friday, February 6 & 7, 2025. Would you like to take a deeper look at your body composition and health markers that go beyond standard labs? Initial body composition scanning sessions include the scan, which will be given to you digitally and/or in print, and the therapist will review the findings in detail (30 minute session.) This is normally a $150.00 session, but if you are able to pop in during openings the next 2 days, you may have a scan and assessment for $100. Subsequent sessions are $50.

This is a great way to set a baseline for your health, and to track your progress as you move to healing and fitness! Follow up scans are placed on a graph to show change over time. (Super interesting stuff!)

If you are interested, please call or text the clinic at 319-377-0937!

Come see what your are made of!

We are so happy to have been able to allow our recent system upgrade to help support many others! We were able to supply our older 3 towers and 7 laptops for Matthew Soukup -a "tech angel"- to update, and combine with monitors, etc. from others, and then gift to those who could really use them. - - ! So much better than taking them for recycling!!! Thanks to Matthew and the others!
