Lymphedema Therapist Reviews Volume-Based Footwear for Swollen Feet

Dr. Alexandra “Alex” Hill, PT, DPT, OnCS, WCS, CLT-LANA, is a dual Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Women’s Health and Oncologic Physical Therapy and a LANA-Certified Lymphedema Therapist based in Jacksonville, Florida. Through her clinic, OncoPelvic PT, she specializes in pelvic health, oncology rehab, and lymphedema for all genders and is widely recognized for her education work, research publications, and national/international presentations.

In this video, Dr. Hill offers a clinical demonstration of how Pandere shoes can support people living with lymphedema, edema, and other conditions that cause swollen or hard-to-fit feet.

She explains how the shoes adapt to changes in foot volume, and why she recommends them to for people with swelling and other asymetry issues. At Pandere, we call this approach volume-based footwear — a category created to address foot volume rather than just foot length and width.
