- www.massagebyheather.com Learn Lymph Drainage Massage to affect the legs. This video (the third in a series that includes abdominal massage) shows the specific method of massage to reduce fluid and swelling in the leg, calf and foot. Before performing this, you MUST prepare by performing the Lymphatic Drainage Massage for the Abdomen Parts one and two. Fluid in the legs moves up into the torso and drains near the venous angle in the neck. Unless you have prepared by performing the Abdominal Massage routines, the fluid will not drain correctly. Contraindications include pregnancy (Lymphatic breathing is excellent, but don't do part 2 of this video series). Other contraindications for Lymphatic Drainage Massage work in general are as follows:
1. Fever, acute infection, early onset inflammatory disease. You need to wait until the acute phase is over and the fever is broken.
2. Circulatory system problems, especially thrombosis. If there is any risk of embolism of phlebitis, do not use LDM and see your physician immediately
3. Cardiac issues such as heart disease, acute angina pectoris or coronary thrombosis (heart attack). Using LDM increases the fluid load on the heart, and compromised cardiac systems should not be subjected to LDM.
4. Active bleeding, internal or external.
5. Active malignant cancers, undiagnosed lumps, or tumors whose origins have not been determined by your physician.
6. High risk pregnancy or late term pregnancy with complications - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Oh my gosh, this really works. Thank you with all my heart for these wonderful videos. My left left leg has been swollen for over 6 mo. Its so bad that I have 10 huge, open, draining ugly wounds. They wouldnt go away. I have been miserable until today. I did the massage and fell asleep. I woke up and the swelling is down. You are an angel.
I have an infection on my knee cap and my shin started swelling and a gland near my groin started to swell , as I did this I actually felt it clear. Great job and thank you!
Thanks! I have a leg recently broken and often very swollen and achey (partly because of long-ago-removed varicose veins - reducing circulation). When trying this while watching the vid I noticed almost immediate relief from the aching pressure. I'll try doing this more from now on. For weeks I've been taking a gram of paracetamol every four hours day and night, but still getting a fair bit of discomfort. This massage may improve my quality of life considerably.

Thank you for this great video. It's really easy to follow your directions and technics. I've been diagnosed with lymphedema, and appreciate all the videos and advice you give....
Thank you so much for posting these extremely helpful videos- I feel I got a better grasp on how to perform self drainage. Many thanks!!!
You are so clear and insightful. I am very grateful to have found you. I hope you are successful with all you share. Thank you so much 😊
Another daily routine to follow while watching TV. Thanks Heather.
Thank you so much for this excellent series. I was taught briefly and a couple years ago which was helpful but the refresher is wonderful. Also, you explain so much more and so clearly about anatomy markers and rationale behind the motions. Thank you again. You are a very good instructor!

Thank you Heather for this series, extremely helpful for taking responsibility for one's own health. Could you add a video specific to the eye area?.
Thanks for this Heather, this massage helped me to relieve restless leg syndrome, within minutes the tightness deep in my muscles between the knees and calves is released, it also reduced the edema on my legs
Have you tried taking Magnesium yet? It helps me out, and then I discovered it (magnesium) in nuts and seeds too. It eases the leg cramps. I have Fibromyalgia...i.e. restless body syndrome.
This is great Heather. I do the Yoga breathing exercises regularly. Recently, my lymphedema of the leg just returned but to the opposite leg (right) after 15 years of recovery of the left. Is this common. Your instructions are very clear and I am doing it now. Thank you Heather. I am about to undergo LD treatment at the Rusk Institute at NYU New York to get a relief. LD therapy works as my oncologist told me lymphedema was incurable. LD cured my left leg.
Thanks Heather this is very helpful because I have lymphedema that I was born with can't afford a therapist no insurance and its getting worse but with this message technique I will be able to do something about this so I thank you for these videos.
I needed this, thank you! I will be sharing this with every one
Thank you! Nicely done, easily explained, I will give this a try 😁
Thanks Heather ...did this last night. felt sleepy after but ....i was up to the loo a lot..:)
Great job and very helpful. We all can use this as a method of maintaining good drainage -- especially if you are dieting or detoxing.
So, let me ask you, if you are not a thin person and when you are doing the first part and pressing into your abdomen, do you need to do it harder or deeper if you have a larger belly?
thanks so much for posting this video, for years l have experienced a pocket of swelling beneath my left knee and have the entire left of my body bigger than the right side.
Thank you so much Heather. Your videos have been such a help.
So appreciate your online work. Thankyou so much
I have swollen lymph nodes on the joint just above my thighs. The discomfort which started from there extends to my stomach and back. It is very frustrating knowing that my swollen lymph nodes growing bigger by the days. After trying these steps, I feel so much better now with still very slight discomfort. I will do these steps every day hoping one day my lymph nodes still swelling anymore. Thanks Heather!
Hello Heather! How often should the three steps be carried out? Is once a day, every day too much? What would you suggest? Thank you so much!!
@PalmyBruce Bruce - I'm glad this has helped! Given the vericose vein removal, this may be something you'll need to do regularly to ease the aching and pressure. Using this regularly may control this to the point that you won't have so much discomfort. thanks for your comment!
👐 Heather, may God continue to bless you for taking the time to explain the way to massage my body in order to help myself heal from edema. 👉 👍👍
Mae M a year later, how is it going for you? I suffer terribly and am starring this now.
It would have been helpful if u put those other 2 videos u mention, in the description of this video, like other youtubers do. Its practical and we dont wonder which videos could be the ones u say.
This was recorded many years ago. People learn as they go. Don’t need criticism.
@@jlbc1234 shut up, seriously. What a useless comment. Made me waste my time coming here to read you.
very useful, you're great. thanks
Hi often is this to be done daily or how many times per week. What is better morning or night
great presentation, Heather. lots of good info. wonder if i can remember each point of contact. is it detrimental or dangerous of u leave some out as long as u do, eg, the higher area downwards and then back up or whatever it is? thanks for your time and knowledge. i'd make an appt if i was back in Louisville. we taught meditation there years ago!
Awesome videos, thanks
will this work for a chronic oedema?
@rizzsid Yep. Sometimes toxins come out that have been around for a while in the system and it's experienced as strange tastes or smells.
Marvelous!
Thanks !!!
My grandfather has cancer and his legs occasionally balloon up to twice their normal size with Lymphoma. There is only a small handful of trained nurses who can perform this message here in Ireland as they have to go to Germany for the training.
Absolutely brilliant 👏❤️👏. Where may I find the 2 first videos? Thank you for exsisting❤️
Thank you, very helpful.
Thank you again Heather. What a help.VERY well done. Do you know of anyone in Central Arkansas?
Would you send me the exact links for the preparation before this one?
thank you!!! :)
Very good video! as a MT, I would like to know what you would suggest for auto-massage for someone with lymphoedema in the arm (after mastectomy and removal of axillary lymph nodes)... I've watched many videos and people are trying to bring the lymph from left arm to right axillary lymph nodes through the sternum (anatomically, that makes absolutely no sense! and unfortunately I've seen many videos like this). What would be your suggestion?
Hi. my salivary glands...began to gush out lots of fluid and i had a horrid metal taste after completing first and second lymph massage. is that to be expected?
At what point, or time frame will you know that the technique is effective? Thanks.
Where is the video can you please give a link
I've looked through all your videos and can't find the lymphatic breathing massage to perform before. Could you please add the links in the description for the videos we need to do before the leg. Thanks
Nina BIna I’ve just found this & it’s apparently the 3rd video. Here’s the link to all the videos👌🏼😊 th-cam.com/users/massagebyheatherw
It's this one: th-cam.com/video/rMljOuz_l_Q/w-d-xo.html
If the swelling is below the knee, do u use the same routine of excersice?
Where do you practice. I would love to schedule an appointment. I have excessive toxins/cellulite over my entire legs and triceps
Oh thank you!
Can you do both legs at the same time?
I cant find the lympatic breathing video.
Thanks again
My swelling is just above my right knee how do I see your other videos? Will this ever go away how many times should I massage the leg etc? Is drinking a lot of fluids help get rid of the swelling? Thanks Terri
If you go to her channel, click where it says videos, and scroll down you’ll find her other videos for lymphatic drainage
Hi. Where do I find the breathing video?
She is wonderful !
Where did she go ?
Thank you, Heather.
If no swelling on either leg can I do this exercise on both?
I'm on 80mgs of Lasix TID with congestive heart failure. My left leg especially, from about mid shin down, swells so bad from fluid that sometimes I can't even wear shoes, and it stretches out my skin so much that on top of having neuropathy, is BEYOND just painful. Is this technique safe to do for me with all that going on? I'm desperate for some relief and NONE of my Dr's seem to want to do anything except give me more pills, which I'm sick and tired of! Thanks for any advice!! *Edit* Nevermind. I just noticed it's been FOUR YEARS since you replied to anybody, so don't bother. I'll just stop all my meds and die slowly, and thanks from all the other people who've asked questions and got no response.
I thought I'd answer this. Not sure if you'll see it as it's been awhile but from everything I've read if your in congestive heart failure you r not supposed to do lymph drainage as it is a lot of extra work for the heart having so much fluid at once entering ur system. You can Google more info about it if you need it or find a cdt certified therapist, they r trained for lymph message in various situations, and ask them specifically about this to learn more. ❤️
Will this help with swollen ankles, I get this quite a lot when travelling, or if it is very hot
is it useful for lipedema ?
Will this be effective if a person has had removal of, and damage to pelvic lymph nodes? I had cancer...had a hysterectomy w/removal of nodes, then chemo AND pelvic radiation. Thanks for your videos! Good knowledge.
Wish people would respond my mother suffered the same illness and went through the exact same thing as you. I'm going to show this to my mom and see if it works, I read on a website that doing these type of exercises 5 days a week for one hour is recommended
Do you offer an online massage license. Or what would I have to do? I am in South Dakota.
Would you pls supply a link for the ‘breathing ‘ video? I can’t seem to find it. Thanks.
Thank you Heather, I just went to a lymphatic massage and the therapist told me I got a lot clogs and they are very painful when she pressed on them. Is that right? I watch your video and you did not seem to press very hard. She did my lower legs and feet as well...Please give me your advice, I feel worried after the massage.
Check out Therapist MLD UK for a list of accredited practioners who are properly trained. If you're not based in the UK, still search for MLD. Good luck.
It works
Where can we find your other videos you referenced above?
Here is the breathing one she refers to: th-cam.com/video/rMljOuz_l_Q/w-d-xo.html
do you think we needed some tools like wooden push and massage is better ??
lymph drainage is a technique of its own. no need for any tool. massage will never replace lymph drainage.
Nice B-Day gift....Thanx
does this work for parotitis, its so painful
_yes __Jae Rose__ I was once had my cellulite in my butt and thighs._
_Ive tried everything and was deeply frustrated cause it has not_
_worked out. the program works quickly and allowed my skin to_
_stay smoother, tighter and sexy forever. I should recommend this_
_to everyone..:)_

hi guys, wants to know more about attraction the best success that ive ever had was by following the Max Miracle Method (just google it) without a doubt the most incredible guide that I have ever followed.
Is this safe for patients undergoing chemotherapy for lymphoma?
This is safer than chemo. along with a plant based diet, no sugar. Watch Dr. robert Morse. I'm praying for you.
Can you please show us what to do for swollen ankles?
Did I miss it or can you do both legs at once?
I’m wondering same
I can't find the lympqtic breathing massage video. Any help please?
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/rMljOuz_l_Q/w-d-xo.html
I don't believe the question was answered. Can you do both legs at the same time?
Probably, if you have the dexterity.
Lymphatic breathing massage first then up around neck and shoulders-trunk and torso.
I must not being doing it right my ankles are still swollen :(
If they're still swollen in the morning after having them rest all night, you may be wise to see your Doctor. Sometimes swelling is related to heart problems.
this doesn't look like the regular massage and it's too much so it's probably better when it's done in the office Like Yours by professional
The lower legs drain in the feet!!!!!!! On left and right foot just in front of the ball of the foot!!!!!!!!
absolutely wrong. Legs are directed upwardly to inguinal lymph nodes. Even on internet you can search for lymph system chart and see this...
Thanks a million! My insurance doesn't cover massage.

I think I have lymph node behind my right knee as I can’t sit back into child’s pose.

+Would this help with a Baker's cyst?

Massage starts at min 2:51
I hope this really makes a difference or I'm going feel really stupid. Not that that would be unusual.
Instructions would be helpful if they weren't so fast and demonstrated completely.
Use pause button.

What is the point of posting these videos, if you are not going to respond to people's questions? I will refrain from asking mine, because it's apparent that you only want the views and aren't really interested in helping people.
