About
Specialized lymphedema &
oncology rehab in Orland Park.
The Lymphedema-Oncology Rehab Center exists to restore mobility, improve quality of life, and support patients through every step of recovery — from lymphedema, cancer treatment, or surgery. Hope. Heal. Achieve.
Our mission
Walking with you through
every step of recovery.
LORC is a specialty clinic focused on the part of rehabilitation most often delivered poorly because the credential is rare: lymphedema management and oncology recovery. It is the work we trained for, and the only work we do.
Care is delivered by two clinicians who see patients one-on-one. Lamiaa Hefni — PT, CLT-LANA, CWT, CPST — is our lead lymphedema and oncology therapist and the clinician most patients work with, bringing more than 28 years of experience and bilingual care in Arabic and English. Dr. Omar Hussien, PT, DPT, CLT, is our co-founder and clinical director.
You see the same clinician every visit. We measure progress, we coordinate with your physician and oncologist, and we build the plan around your goals — not around an authorization.
"Recovery from lymphedema, cancer, or surgery isn't a single technique. It's the certainty that the same therapist is in the room next week — asking what's changed, and adjusting the plan around the answer."
Core values
The three things
that guide every visit.
01—Compassion
We meet you where recovery is hardest.
Lymphedema, cancer treatment, and surgery ask a lot of a person. Every visit is built around dignity, patience, and the understanding that healing is personal — we listen first, then we plan.
02—Excellence
Specialized credentials, not general guesswork.
Our care is led by CLT-LANA certification, Complete Decongestive Therapy, and wound expertise — the training that lymphedema and oncology rehab actually require. We treat what we specialize in, and we do it well.
one therapist, every visit
03—Collaboration
We work alongside you and your care team.
Your physician, your oncologist, and your surgeon are part of the plan. We coordinate referrals, share progress, and adjust your program around your goals at every step of recovery.
