Dry Brushing for Lymphatic Drainage - Shown the Best way by a Lymphedema Physical Therapist
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 05. 2024
- Dry Brushing is suggested to be a tool to help keep the lymphatic system healthy and moving. Dry brushing for lymphatic drainage is used by some to try and reduce swelling, but it's mostly used for skin health and signs of aging via exfoliation. It's a tool for lymphatic drainage massage, as well, but must be used gently to avoid skin breakdown. Generally, most videos or blogs will tell you to brush towards the heart, but as a certified lymphedema therapist, I show you in this video how the lymphatic system works and what would be the best technique to do dry brushing for lymphedema or your lymphatic system to be most effective. It's important to note that Dry Brushing has anecdotal evidence only at this time, but if cleared by your provider and done safely, some may find benefit.

i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Finnley Micah I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Finnley Micah It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Callan Kellan No problem =)
Can once swolllen lymph nodes get again in their shape
This may sound strange, but my belief is that those of us who do not have ANY physical contact/touch that our bodies are touch starved and the lymphatic system freezes up. This video is fantastic in teaching those of us alone to wake our bodies up and our systems to get moving again..thank you so much for such valuable knowledge.
I've thought this for a long time.
Interesting..
I had the problem when I was very much not alone!
Thank you for your insight. This feedback helps bodyworkers!!!
🔥❤️🔥
Have been dry brushing for then 40 years, not every day but at least 2-3 times a week, an old German doctor told me to do it when I was a teen . I'm 60 now and I think my skin is great.
Glad to find out I was doing much more good then just keeping my skin soft :)
Wow!
Should the brush feel rough
Is dry brushing is for breast lump that is bad
Very nice videos VThanks.
I hope you have a good day, know that JESUS died for you and loves you so very much!
Wish I’d found you long ago. Have been doing the dry brushing and my family have commented on how my legs are looking slimmer and I’m walking better, thank you so much. From Scotland xx
Good for you❤️❤️❤️
@Phillis1956 so glad you have benefited from this technique 👏
Do you have lymphedema or do you just dry Brush for fun?
Just my notes
Lymph nodes : armpit, head neck and groin region. Focus your brushing towards these areas.
Use small little strokes, be soft enough to not cause any irritation or skin breakdown. 1-2 mins in each area
wherever lymph node is compromised, move it from there to a different direction eg: for lymph nodes compromised in armpits ie; swollen a little - move it towards the healthier armpit or down towards your waist
Start from abdomen area - small brush strokes upwards around your abdomen
dry brushing of the arm - from chest towards the armpit if healthy + up from the side of the chest ie; no lymphedema, away from the armpit towards the chest if unhealthy + down from the side of the chest towards the groin area ie; lymphdema. Do brush that side of the back same way with the long handle brush
brush downwards (to clean) : upper arm -> lower arm-> hand. Then once you reach the hand
brush upwards (to drain): hand-> lower arm-> upper arm
then once done with upper arm, brush to move fluid all the way across to the other side or towards the groin region
dry brushing of the leg - start from the upper leg towards the groin - outside inside and around
if you have more swelling on one spot, especially behind the leg - spend more time there
then move to the knee
then the lower leg, starting from the ankle. work your way upwards towards the knee
then spend time behind the knee if needed
foot, below the foot
then again start moving upwards (similar to the arm)
everything working backup towards the groin area
then shower b.c. dead skin cells, pat dry and moisturise
How to keep the brush clean? : use baby shampoo and a very shallow bowl of water to avoid submerging the handle and clean the bristles that way. then Iay the bristles face down on a towel to dry
I copied your notes. Thanks again!
Thank you!
Thanks a ton
Thank u
I had a motorcycle accident 9 years ago and shattered my left knee cap. After surgery I developed a bakers cyst. Can I dry brush the back of the knee to help?
It's such a relief to hear an actual PT talk about this, not aestheticians or beauty bloggers. I've had lymphedema for 15 years and a lot of PT, and appreciate your videos, thanks very much.
Great information on dry brushing, thank you for these tips!
Much obliged, PT Kelly. This makes a world of difference. I’ve just now subscribed to the channel. Kudos.
Best skin brushing explanation I've ever seen and I've done it on and off for 20 years! Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words! I’m so happy it was helpful 😊
I have learned this technique and it feels great! Hope you continue. Also the feeling of soft smooth skin is great
Thank you. New to dry brushing. It's a healer
@@CancerRehabPT Kelly, you look like an athlete! What's your sport? Your legs are to die for! :) Okay, on to my question. If you have lymphedema in the feet, ankles and lower legs, and also have those reddish/purple-ish diabetes discolored lower legs, but no open wounds, broken skin or apparent infections, will dry brushing exacerbate the discoloration, have no effect on it, or perhaps improve it?
@@CancerRehabPT hello, another lymphatic therapist in the comments on one of your videos said to do this only twice a month , but if I wanted to do it everyday to reduce cellulite would that be safe to do ??
Thank you so much for such a great video! Really appreciate the chapter breakdown too 😊
Thank you for this video. Clear and precise💞🇯🇲❤
Thank you, this was great, the best explanation ever!
Thank you so much! I've tried to do this over the years but now I'll know how to do it correctly. Subscribed!
This video is by far one of the best on CZcams for dry brushing. I found it thorough, educational and helpful. Thanks so much for this content!
For the past 15 years I was doing it wrong. So glad to find you and grateful for your explanation.
Your skin glows to beautifully!!!
Very helpful. Just got my dry brush, now I can use it properly. 👍🏻 Thanks! 😊
Thank you! This was very informative and easy to understand. I'm starting dry brushing as soon as my Amazon order comes in :)
Your voice is so soothing
Thank you for sharing this video and i am so glad ,God bless you !
Great video Kelly - Thanks so much. There are so many videos about dry skin brushing for lymphatic health. It's nice to have one by an expert in the topic!
Thank you for your classy and educational presentation. You should be fully satisfied with your diligence!
You have the perfect personality for this instruction. Very clear and very easy to understand. Love the visuals so we can see the quadrants. That helped a lot. Thanks!
I love this video! This is the best dry skin brushing video.
Ohhhh... I stopped dry skin brushing a while back when I used to do it religiously for years.... I always brushed toward the heart, but of course it makes sense to brush toward the lymph nodes 👍🏼 thank you!
Thank you so much for this! my husband and I have been doing this for months now after seeing a naturopathic doctor! Great video!
Per popular request, dry brushing for the face and neck is coming soon! Thank you all for the feedback.😀 Any other requests?
Can’t wait dear! Looking forward for face & neck video soon!
thanks for sharing this. 😊
I'm glad I came across this video thank you.
Maybe a video for those who have no tonsils or adenoids? Or a dry brushing for children video? :)
Awesome what face brush do u recommend? Can u please link? Thanks 🙏🏻
Very thorough explanation! I've heard about dry brushing being helpful for lymphatic drainage, but have personally only used it to exfoliate dry skin, which it does very, very well. I bet this is really healthy for people without edema issues too, since everyone could use detox support given how many toxic things we can't avoid on a daily basis even when we try really hard.
Thank you so much. I am rehab LMT and Totally believe in dry brushing. You did such a great job in this video. So refreshing to see someone take time and articulate Eva rly how to dry brush. Too many other faulty videos out there. Will refer patients to your video!!! Praise to you.
Love what I watched, I’ve done this dry brushing before and it’s amazing how your whole body just wakes up.
I'm really impressed by Kelly. Thank you so much for making a stressful condition more easy to manage. The relief is multifaceted.
This video is very helpful and informative. Thank you so much!
Thank god call for ur video s,I needed all of the tips I can get I’ve done so many. And I’ll continue thanks u. God bless you.
One year ago my mother was Diagnosed with cancer. I wish that I had seen this video years ago. Thank you for the detailed demonstration and instructional measures to effectively complete enhancing the lymphatic system.
Glad many people all over the world are benefiting from our ancient Indian ayurveda dry brushing.
Thank you for your detailed demonstration of Dry Brushing! Wishing you Great Health and Good Vibes ❤️
This makes so much more sense than how I was taught which was always towards the heart. I always questioned it. Thanks for clarifying.
I've had a dry brush for ages but rarely used it; just got lazy. Came across your channel and appreciated your deeper knowledge of dry brushing and the lymph system.
Did a dry brush last night, then went to the beach for a walk and afterwards to the market. Felt very heavy, tired and slow-moving. Thought, "what the heck is the matter with me?!" Then I recognized it as the same feeling I have when I've had a good, hour and a half massage, lol.
My lymph system was just doing it's job, but it'd been so long since I dry-brushed or had a massage I'd forgotten what it felt like...
Thank you for getting me back into this very healthy part of self-care... subscribed ❤️
Glad I found your video! Started dry brushing today and let’s say I learned a lot from this vid (I did it after my shower, I applied lotion after lol now I’m thinking about all the dead skin trapped in the lotion 🤣 also I did it the most common way to the heart!) tomorrow Day 2 will start with your technique 😍
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. So clear an detailed. I will follow your advice an Pray for increased results. God Bless
Excellent explanation and demonstration, thank you.
Thank you very much . Found it really usefull . Is there a special way to do dry brushing for varicose veins?
It's best to have three brushes, one with long handle, one, no handle, and one with short handle. If you come across one with removable handles, the handles get loose and the brush falls off. Thanks for the routine. I believe it improves health.
Thank you for sharing, I am going to do this today. I suffer from ankle swelling and facial swelling much appreciated 🙏
First time to hear about dry brushing. Great technique. I’m 25 years out from my early catch breast, surgery and removal of four lymph nodes. I did not have lymphedema, but I understand some suffer terrible from it.. very interesting patterns of brushing to help. Thank you.
Great explanation! Truly I feel like as a trainer I have not given enough credit to the lymphatic system and am so thankful I found your channel! Thanks so much! Subscribed!
I am also a lymphatic practitioner and this dry brushing is an excellent way to move the lymph. Also moving from one area that is blocked to another that is flowing is called water shedding. Cheers and great advice.😇
Is this routine for everyday for someone with no health issues?
@@rakadoni8403 No, you would only do this once a month or every couple of months if doing full body.
Bouncing on a trampoline or on the spot also moves lymph.😇
@@Aangel452 aw amazing thanks for the reply , also if I wanted to do dry brushing to reduce cellulite would I just go in circular motions instead doing this whole routine ?
@@rakadoni8403 I can’t help you with cellulite as not trained in that area, as this is fat deposits. I could only suggest use hot packs to warm the skin which may soften the fat which is much deeper that lymph fluid, then massage the area with your hands or use a hard edge stone or massage tool to gently move the fat from that area. Good luck😇
Can someone with active cancer do dry brushing ?
Great tips Doc!! I am a DPT here and I learned a lot from you. Thank you
This makes so much sense! Other videos I've watched have you start at the feet or hands and work up, but I love how this feels and I feel like it feels "right." Thank you!
I’m just learning, wanted to SEE it done (my best learning!). Yours was the first video and I’m SO glad! I’d been told to do small circles towards the heart, yours makes more sense. I had a modified radical mastectomy including sentinel node removal so I guess that makes my arm compromised?
Informative and easy to follow, your video dispelled some myths and gave me the confidence to dry-brush effectively knowing I was doing it correctly. Thanks very much for sharing such great knowledge!
FINALY SOMEBODY WHO REALLY KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING!
Thank you so much!
Very informative video thanks for posting
I’m glad I watched this-this changes the sequence/direction that I was using for almost every area I dry brush. Very helpful video, thank you
I have to say I have been quite astonished at what my cancer medical care teams just don't seem to know. This is a most excellent way to first of all explain the lymphatic system and it's importance and then to describe and demonstrate how to best caretake it. Oh the joy of being self sufficient and health conscious. So why are we not learning this as children in school?
Very useful video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This was so helpful thank you very much. I was doing dry brushing for awhile after having lumpectomy and one limp node removed from arm pit , but i see now I wasn’t doing right and definitely will change it according to your teachings to brush out of the dysfunctional node area towards to other side.
You are also so beautiful and talking very clearly and kindly. Wish you all the best ❤
Wow... I used that tool for 3yrs on my whole body to soften my skin and I have read it can help on my varicose veins and it helps alot... Thanks for the info...I'll buy another one... ❤️
Wow, game changer! Thank you so much for sharing!
Should we be brushing the armpits and the groin/hip region as well? I’ve been doing it that way for a few months now after learning what large lymph node centers they are and hope I have not been doing something that could impact my body negatively. 🙏
Thank you so much !
Good explanation!!
Thankful for closed captions. This is so cool and interesting to hear different accents and dialects. 😊
This was amazingly helpful because i wasnt sure how this worked.
Ive done brushing in the shower but never dry.
Thanks a bunch! ❤
I’m an LMT this video is fantastic. There’s so many dry brushing videos that teach it wrong.
Thank you this is exactly the video explanation I needed 😁👍
Thank you! Your knowledge & ability to express yourself in such a concise, simple form is exceptional. 🙏
I’d been taught to dry brush in clockwise circular motions from the feet going up the body towards the heart. Now I know differently. I’ll start doing it the correct way tomorrow morning. My skin is a lot smoother and feels more revitalised by doing this every morning. Thanks for your thorough demonstration 😀👍🏼💕
I accidentally bought a dry brush in a drugstore (thinking it's supposed to be used with soap), but when I got home, I just read it's made of natural boar bristles. So I did some googling, and I found this! This is amazing! Very informative, thank you!!
I did the same thing, but I just thought it would be the ultimate back scratcher.
Got one too never use it n now I will.
Boar bristles are amazing for the best blowouts. All good hairdressers use them and everyone should own one at home too. Just saying.
@@Teenywing I've always had twice the hair of other women. Strong, thick hair just doesn't respond to 100% boar bristle brushes, so everyone should consider their hair type. At age 21, I spent a bundle on an expensive boar bristle hair brush. It wouldn't even penetrate my hair.
@@mt.shasta6097I’ve got the same issue
Great information . I had been suggesting this to patients with a regular soft brush.
Thank you so much! 6 months after breast cancer surgery my breast got really red and angry one weekend. I kept thinking it was a natural of the experience since so many things kept happening to me. I went to get up from my chair and my clothes were soaking wet. All of a sudden I realized the pain had lessened. I went to change clothes while be freaked out and scared. One of my 6 month old incisions had popped open, I didn't want to go to ER since it was that first weekend Covid hit. I decided to use butterfly bandages to keep the area closed an clean while I waited for Monday to see my Oncologist. Ever since dry brushing has been a normal part of my life. When I get lazy something seems to happen. I just recently had to deal with my arm pain/swelling and my feet and legs. It's taken a week of dry brushing to get back on track. I've been dry brushing twice a day! Lymphedema is serious. Thank you again for showing the proper technique. I didn't realize the shorter brushing was as beneficial. I had been starting at the furthest part and working my way back. I'm going to up my game with your recommendation. I have chemo brain too so I hope you understand me. Do you have any suggestions for severe neuropathy, or would I keep doing the same?
Thank you so much. I have had a dry brush for years and never used it. Just starting my journey of true self care. Thank you. I have a spinal cord injury so this will help with my skin and keep this moving along. Is was very easy to follow along. Looking forward to seeing if this helps in my recovery process
Dry brushing, rebounding, limiting dairy to ghee or butter - my lipedema & CVI symptoms have decreased.
Also increased my fasting.
Great video. I’m gonna improve my brushing routine.
Please check your kidney filtration.. moving lymph is good, expel the waste is done by kidney and skin when kidneys are not filtering well.
Thank you so much for this video. I will try this technique I hope it works. I have problem with my feet they are swelling especially my right foot. 🙏Happy new year to you and your family. 😊
thanks kelly you are wonderful
Thank you! I am a esthetician who use to work in a combination massage/facial spa. I have never been shown exactly HOW to do the dry brushing. This was excellent.
Amazing! I’m glad it was helpful 😊
Excellent thank you 😊, I’ve seen a big difference in my skin since I started dry brushing 👍
I love this! Very thorough. Thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful advice.
Thank you Kelly for explaining proper dry brushing techniques! I've been dry brushing off and on for close to 20 years, and was doing it all wrong the whole time!!!
I thought it was good for your skin to turn pink 🤦🏻♀️
Thank you so much for this. As a breast cancer patient who has had lymph nodes excised, this makes good sense to me. Lymphoedema has been a concern that I have asked cancer specialists about, and nobody on my cancer care team has given me this type of information, not even the PT & OT I worked with.
Maybe you don't have any Lymphoedema - not everyone gets it even after having lymph nodes removed, do you have any arm or breast swelling? Maybe the PT you saw isn't a Lymphoedema specialist? In the UK we teach patients modiified lymphaic drainage and provide a compression garment but only if needed.
Same, I had no idea that lymphedema was even a thing. I got it after doing military press (year or so after surgery). Had I known I would have worn a sleeve while exercising to possibly prevent. Not sure if that would have helped prevent though...
@@sallyannc3176 I think you misunderstood my comment. I don't have lymphedema. But I knew women who had gotten it after BC surgeries. Therefore I wanted to learn about it after my own surgery.
@@mariannewilson753 fair enough but just google it for info - tho I'm surprised that neither your surgeon or the PT on your cancer care team could give you information. I'm guessing your in the US? Here in the UK it's well recognised as a possible problem after BC surgery if lymph nodes are removed.
@@sallyannc3176 I did plenty of googling on lymphedema before & after my tumor & lymph node removal. My original comment here was simply an expression of thanks to the video creator for an informative video.
Great video! Very informative. Thank you.
Very very helpful video. Thank you so much! 👍🏾
Look.l.I have had knees issues for years and swelling here and there throughout my body and I just happen to stumble upon a doctor giving a briefing to other doctors about inflammation and causes and lymph was one and he told how to tell the difference between and injury and plump issues. So I noticed my skin was lighter, a hyperpigmentation which indicated my issues are not structural so I found a video which lead me to this video in manipulating my lymph’s to drain and what a blessing! After a very bad week of painful knee swelling with a matter of a few hours my swelling was gone my knee pain was gone...and I took two walks yesterday pain free. The thing I have to keep doing is draining these until they get healthy again to drain on their own and to think an orthopedic surgeon said if I keep running he will need to replace both my knees and all along it was my lymph nodes !!! Seriously how many surgeries has this guy done when the answer is probably this solution...thank you so much for this video!!!!
but surgeons don't make money if people heal themselves, silly. 🤫
Thank you so much. Lymphedema is so painful, your video gives me hope again.
You must also make sure you're getting enough magnesium.....toxic american food has calcium but no magnesium, which literally never happens in nature. You cannot use calcium without magnesium, so calcium gets deposited everywhere, causing the Lymphedema
Wow what a lovely video, education is the best gift one can give, thank you ❤️
so gladi found this. I have some swelling on the back of my ankles and think this will help it. Also my skin is horrible because of complications that lyme disease causes. Always trouble keeping lymph flowing. Hoping this will help all my skin and lymph issues. thank you
Thank you for starting this channel! I developed lymphedema in my right arm due a surgery I had done to remove a cyst on my shoulder. I so badly needed information like this about 15 years ago, when I was trying to piece together what happened to my arm and who could help me. I maintain the swelling well now. Please keep this channel going!!❤️
Hi Kristin, was the cyst in any way cancerous/tumorous? I have developed lymphedema of the foot 2 months ago after a surgery on my leg that wasn't cancer related. Of course no one warned me of the possibility of developing lymphedema. There definitely needs to be more information regarding the occurence and treatment of both primary and secondary lymphedema. Daniel
@@danielposavec7215 Hello Daniel. No, the cyst was benign, thank God. And you are so correct, it's so important that there is more awareness and information out forth. I had to do all my own homework and connect the dots for the doctors I saw. They didn't know what was going on with me. The only person that told me my arm looked like lymphedema was a nurse I encountered that had worked with lymphedema patients.
@@kristiLB93 Thank you for the answer. Yes, it seems that the nurses and physical therapists know and care far more about the issue than the doctors, who treat lymphedema as something not worthy of their attention. Whereas it's debilitating if left alone. I'm glad you managed to keep you lymphedema in check and it gives me hope as well for my case. However, I do feel sympathy for many others who are maybe less fortunate and have to rely on ignorant doctors or are financially unable to cover the expenses. Best of luck to you!
@@danielposavec7215 All the best to you too! Stay well.
Thank you
This is new for me
I want to look good but what is even more important to be healthy for my future wife.
Yes, I had lymph nodes removed. Great to see this
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen on the topic! My skin feels amazing, seriously. Thank you x
Hi Kelly, I'm looking forward to your dry brushing for the face and neck video! I do have a request. I've found this video a great roadmap. But it's hard for me to remember everything because I'm still getting used to doing dry brushing the way you've explained it. What I'd really love, would be if there was a video where we could follow along as you did an actual whole body dry-brushing session. In other words, we would have not only the points of how to do it, but we could do the whole thing along with you as you do a complete dry brushing session. If it could include the back of our body also, that'd be great! I realize there would be certain places where some of us would do it slightly differently (as you mentioned regarding Anastomosis in this video). I know it would also be a longer video because we'd actually be doing the whole thing, rather than having sort of a road-map to know how to do it, but then having to try to remember how to do it on our own, or doing our dry brushing watching this video, but having to stop and start the video all the way through.
I think this could be particularly helpful for those beginning, or for those who like me, can feel a bit overwhelmed trying to remember everything.
I'm really hoping that it might work for you to create a video like this! :-) Thank you so much for all your amazing videos. I love your calm, soothing, understanding manner and your very wonderful sincerity!!
exactly!! I still feel clueless how to properly do the back, the butt, the testicles, the scalp/face/ears/neck. and do I brush my armpits or just everything toward them? I also wish she addressed other popular misconceptions about skin brushing and why they are incorrect or less than ideal - I've heard brush toward heart, the gut. I've heard to make circles in the gut. is that bad? can any of this be actually bad for your health or just not as efficient and productive?
Pretty sure the lymph system isn't included in the back of the body
I'd also like more explanation for the arm area, towards or away and why. Scared I'll do it wrong.
My first time finding out about dry brushing 😊 have to try it. Thx
Me too
Yep I have never heard of but makes sense
Clear and concise, very Helpful, thanks
You are such a great help for us with after cancer lymphedema .You are a sweetty
Very useful, thanks! Could you do more videos on home remedies that can reduce bloating?
I have been wearing compression socks for the past year which I feel hasn’t helped much. I started using your technique a couple days and I can already see improvement. Thank you so much!!
May i ask what issues the compression socks are helping you with?
@@keelandavis9681she says she didn't see it helping
@@keelandavis9681I would like to know also. I wear them for neuropathy. I’m sick of them!
Thank you Kelly was having problems with lymphedema after your lecture am much much better now my hand if flexible
This makes so much more sense to me!!!
I've been dry brushing for several years. I always thought brushing to the lymph nodes makes more sense, but everything I've read says start at my left foot, go all the way up to the heart and then do the other side. I'm following YOUR instructions!
A couple of things I've noticed...
When I dry brush routinely, I don't need deodorant. I found out by accident, not trial and error! 🙂
The other thing is that my right arm pit will still smell longer than the left. I spend the same amount of time on both sides, so I don't have any ideas as to why this happens.
It's all in your imagination! 😄
Great video that gets to the heart of why connective tissue disorders so often manifest with MCAS - connective tissue disorders can basically destroy the function of the lymphatic system, which makes your mast cells have to go totally bazonkers to pick up the slack. I highly, highly recommend using a silicone dry brush as it can be used not just to restore lymphatic function but also to solve the myofascial adhesions that cause the lymph system to stop working
I have mcas as well and doing this to rid myself of the toxins
I'm your newest fan and thank you so much. This is great information and news
Thank you do much for sharing this. 😊🙏❤
