    I have looked at so many videos on self-massage lymphedema
    As I had Lumpectomy surgery on my left breast ,
    And This is the best Self-Massage on video so far
    Step by step with a lovely calm instruction
    Thank you so very much 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

    So grateful for finding this video 🙏 ! Thank You! Two weeks after removing my right armpit nodes and not enough info to help ease my concerns provided by doctors or websites.

    I am very pleased with this video. I have a registered lymphatic massage therapist who gave me a printed self-massage instruction sheet . Your Video
    Is more explicit and extremely helpful.
    Thank you

    I don't have lymphedema but I do struggle with constant swollen painful lymphnodes. This video is great for any type of fluid build up major or minor! Going to incorporate this into my daily routine for pain relief. Thank you!

    This is the best help with lymphedema that I’ve found after a mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy. I received a handout brochure for upper body gentle exercise of neck stretches, torso turns, and arms lifts and stretches as my therapy from my local PT department which made the lymphedema worse. I’ve had better success using your massage therapy and am much more comfortable.

    thank you.....I've been looking for a new massage routine that addresses mid arm and elbow. I've been using it for 2 weeks. I like the long strokes on the arms rather than short circular strokes....makes sense to clear nodes more often. Will still have to order a III sleeve, but I am hopeful for a II by summer.

    Thank you for this video. I had bilateral mastectomy in April and have had lymphadema under one arm, because a lymph node was removed. None of my docs gave me info to relieve the fluid. It ended up around one breast and hindered me gettin a saline fill in expander. Just doing this twice has given me relief. I've seen difference in the puffiness as well. Should i just do this once a day? Thanks again!

    I am a certified lymphedema therapist, physical therapist and massage therapist. There is no research I am aware of that asserts you can prevent lymphedema with manual lymph drainage. I also thinks it is a fantasy that you can will your body to make new lymphatic pathways via MLD. It can be useful for those who have lymphedema already.

    If a patient practices some yoga additionally to the massage, what should be first, the exercises or the massage?
    Would you recommend any particular kind of body lotion or oil when applying the massage?
    How often should this massage be applied? Can the exercises with the thumb and elbow be repeated on a regular basis?
    Thank you for your time and answers to my questions.
