An apparatus and method for treatment of patients suffering from lymphedema. The apparatus includes a multiple chamber sleeve positioned in a wrap around fashion on a body extremity to be treated. The chambers are sequentially inflated and maintained so until all chambers are inflated and then all the chambers are simultaneously deflated except the proximal end chamber to move edema fluids out of the afflicted area. The apparatus includes the capability of applying interferential therapy either alone or in combination with compression therapy. Advantageously, the sleeve chambers capture pressurized air when applied thereto, at designated locations, so as to form air pockets that can selectively apply isolated points of pressure, and in combination with the application of electrical current to a patients affected area, provide effective lymphedema therapy without disrupting normal vascular and lymphatic functioning.
