Terry McKeon graduated from Queen’s University of Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy.

In 1995, he relocated to the U.S. and received his initial lymphedema training from the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS). As part of a multidisciplinary team, Terry started a lymphedema program at St. Lawrence Hospital in Lansing Michigan.

In 1996 he began working for Lerner Lymphedema Services in Boston, MA, where he worked closely with Guenter Klose. Terry became a lymphedema therapy instructor under Dr. Robert Lerner and subsequently worked with Dr. Kathleen Francis from 2000 to 2003. During this time he educated and certified over 200 therapists in MLD/CDT.

Terry has been a faculty member at numerous NLN conferences between 1998 – 2004, and has been a guest speaker at other national skill building workshops.

In 2003, he moved to Western Massachusetts to work in an outpatient orthopedic and lymphedema clinic at Baystate Franklin Medical Center.

Terry earned his Manual Therapy Certification (MTC) in 2010, and his Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) in 2014, both from the University of St. Augustine, Florida.
In 2020, he received an MLD certification from the International Lymphedema Wound Training Institute (ILWTI) and in 2021, earned his Orthopedic Certification Specialty (OCS) from the APTA.

For the past 11 years, Terry has worked at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, an affiliate of Mass General Brigham of Massachusetts, where he continues to treat lymphedema and orthopedic patients and enjoys the integration of his knowledge and experience between these two realms.

Terry is excited to dedicate more of his time returning to the teaching world. Aside from his busy work life and spending time with his family, he enjoys triathlons, and playing guitar and performing at local venues.

In 2021, he joined the Klose Training team and will be teaching several lymphedema therapy certification courses per year.
