Breast and Chest Lymphatic Drainage Sequence
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Breast and Chest Lymphedema is a side effect after radiation and/or surgery. Compression is always a great treatment option (see my post from September 30, 2022 for more treatment ideas!), but Lymphatic Drainage for breast lymphedema is very important because of potential dense tissue, scar tissue, and radiation fibrosis.
When lymph nodes are removed during surgery, damaged through radiation therapy, or genetically someone has a dysfunction of the lymphatic system, then the body may have a hard time draining lymph fluid, which can result in lymphedema.
Here is a sequence we follow for manual lymphatic drainage for breast and chest lymphedema.

Thank you! It’s been 8 years since treatment but i got stung by a yellow jacket and had an allergic reaction which really taxed my lymphatic system and caused swelling in my frankenbooby!
This is great insight! Thank you!
Thank you! My new therapist w/Ohio Health, Central Ohio, referred me to your videos. I wish I had found you 10 yrs. ago. I've done well, yet, this treatment will even be better.
Thank you so much for this vid! 🥰🇵🇭 May God always bless you with a healthy body and mind as well as your family.❤
You are so amazing. Thank you for these awesome tips. Sending love and light!
I'm so happy to help! Thank you for the kind words 😊
Thank you for all the good tips. You are so beautiful. Stay blessed 🌷
Rhisbis quite helpful. Thank you
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you
Thank you. I have a lump between my armpit and breast for several years now & it’s tender. I believe it’s a blocked lymph node. I was told it’s not in the breast and “probably musculoskeletal” so it didn’t come up in the mammogram but it doesn’t go away and that area looks inflamed as does my armpit.
I went to PT the other day and my therapist said you can get lymph that gets stuck and gets almost honey consistently. Sometimes it can turn hard leaving behind the minerals and fluids it's trying to move around the body. The best thing she said is to keep moving so the lymph stays fluid and not stuck. I have a lot of scaring in my chest from medical lines and now dealing with swelling from radiation/axillary node removal. So I totally get it. The first time I had any relief was digging holes in my garden! But at least now I'm in PT so I can learn how to manage the pain/swelling. Hope you can find some relief. If you can ask your oncologist for a PT referral for lymphedema that would probably help a lot ❤
I have same
I appreciate this so much!!
Needed this one. Thank you
Great, thank you...🩷
Would this treatment be better to have someone do it for you for several minutes daily or weekly?
what about for the legs ?
if you have problems in both breasts, do you always work the fluid down to the groin instead of the opposite armpit?
Is this for healthy breasts, or if you have breast issues?
She shared, '...breast or chest swelling and lymphedema.'
Can i do this for post op breast reduction massages?
No, you always start at the terminus superior to the clavicle.
Thank you! Very hard to get a lymphadema physio in my neck of the woods. What should I do if the swelling is mainly on my back on my affected side?
What if you have it on both sides?
I have been doing this and now have swollen and sore lymph nodes in my armpits. Is this normal? I just started last week. Should I keep going? Maybe longer?
