Lisa Berman Sylvestri, MSPT, CLT-LANA
Oasis Physical Therapy and Wellness
With over two decades of experience as a physical therapist and certification as a lymphedema therapist since 2008, Lisa Berman Sylvestri, MSPT, CLT-LANA, has dedicated her career to advancing care for patients with lymphedema and oncology-related swelling disorders.
Lisa’s passion for lymphedema care began early in her career when a family friend developed lymphedema following breast cancer treatment. Recognizing the lack of specialized professionals in her area, she transitioned from outpatient orthopedics to focus on lymphedema management. This shift was reinforced when one of her first patients expressed that Lisa was the only provider who had helped her feel relief during her cancer journey. By 2010, Lisa had completed her second lymphedema specialist certification to refine her clinical expertise further.
As an advanced-certified practitioner through the Lymphology Association of North America (LANA), Lisa is committed to both patient care and professional education. She actively trains physical and occupational therapists in the recognition and management of lymphedema and swelling disorders. She is also a frequent speaker for the Cancer Support Community’s ‘Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Group,’ where she educates patients on lymphedema prevention and management.
Lisa’s clinical focus is on supporting patients with lymphedema, breast cancer, and oncology-related conditions, as well as individuals with chronic and complex swelling issues. Her deep commitment to patient recovery has led to the establishment of Oasis Physical Therapy and Wellness, where she continues to enhance treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
In addition to her clinical practice, Lisa launched the YouTube channel LymphSmart (@lymphsmart) to provide accessible, researched-based insights on lymphedema and lymphatic health for both patients and clinicians.
