lymphoedema massage therapists - Viral Trends
I have lymphoedema under my chin after a recent head and neck surgery with 6 pages of notes on how to do the massage. Because of Covid, most of my appointments with the physio have been via Zoom and I'm not sure if I'm doing the massage right either. But mine is not a big problem and I agree yours is not like the typical lymphoedema.
Understanding the Context
Lymphatic massage is trending, but does it really detox or aid weight loss? A specialist explains its proven benefits, limitations, and common myths. Severe cases of lymphedema can affect the ability to move the affected limb, increase the risks of skin infections and sepsis, and can lead to skin changes and breakdown. Treatment may include compression bandages, massage, compression stockings, sequential pneumatic pumping, careful skin care and, rarely, surgery to remove swollen tissue or to create new drainage routes.
