After so many surgeries, lymphatic massage really does help make the soreness go away almost immediately! I’m grateful my FT showed me how, and then you came along and reinforced the message. I will keep working at it, thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing! The self-lymphatic massage really does help. That’s great that someone recommended it for you.
Thank you so much for this video.
It's my pleasure
❤
Thank you!
You're welcome!
After radiation my breast shrunk so now there is a dramatic, very noticable difference in sizes. Is this going to help with that?
Unfortunately not! Mine shrunk a bit but it sounds like not as much as yours.
When can you start after surgery?
You should be able to start right away post surgery. It's always best to check with your healthcare team for your case. At the time I didn't know to start doing self-lymphatic massage after surgery but had I known that I would have started right away.
Hello i have a question i had radiation six month ago and i never went to a therapist to do a lymphatic massage and i was wondering if i can still go and get massage since my skin is kind tight even do I fallow you with your exercises mayb i did it wrong but mayb can i still help my sking to be more loose
You can definitely still see a lymphedema therapist at this stage. My lymphedema improved with a combination of self-treatment and seeing a therapist. You can have tension/tight skin post-radiation even if you do all the self-care strategies. It wasn’t anything that you did wrong…radiation side effects are just stubborn!
👏👏👏💕❤️
I'm thinking they should have told me this was possible.
Yes, knowing what to expect can definiely be helpful going through cancer treatment!
This is great, thank you!
You're welcome! Hope it helps.
