Lymphatic Drainage for Moderate to Severe LEG Lymphedema: Modified Routine
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2024
- I speak a lot about lymphatic drainage on my channel. I explain the traditional method of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) that's been used for many decades for arm lymphedema. But that may start to change thanks to the ALERT program. In this video, I perform a modified lymphatic drainage and lymphatic massage routine for MODERATE TO SEVERE LEG Lymphedema and swelling based on this new research. So feel free to follow along!

just found your channel and this is very useful. thank you so much for the guide. keep it up.
Thank you so much, i really appreciate your videos ❤
Thank you so much for all you do 🙏💗
This is amazing. I use it all the time!!!
You are so kind to put this out for free. I have systemic scleroderma with rheumatoid arthritis and tendinitis in all joints and lower legs. This routine makes me feel better. Thank you so much 🇩🇰🙏🏼
Thank you for your informative videos! Much appreciated!
My mom suffers from lymphedema in lower legs and has been for YEARS!! I thank you for this video!! ♥
Talk about being on top of it! You are a true professional and very generous person. Than you for what you!
Just that quick I was dozing off and dropped the phone.
Thank you so much for the work you put out! I appreciate it
Kelly I particularly like how you encourage people to modify the techniques to what they can do and to take as much or as little time as they have to do it. I think that is still called “bedside manner” and typically what patients think makes a provider a good provider. Great job, very well done.
Hi Kelly thanks for this new info and video. Am I right in understanding that we can still follow your original video where we take the lymph down before bringing it back up? Also does is it the case that the new video acknowledges the finding of a better route with some of the old routes being replaced with more direct ones? Clearly it saves a considerable amount of time and may encourage us to do our exercises more often.
Is there any harm or benefit to doing it more or is there a recommendation we can’t follow as to how often we do it? Bill.

@@CancerRehabPT Thank you so much ♥️
Just want to hank you, I have really bad arthritis in both knee and realised hardened tissue above the knee cap can you recommend light excersise for this area, I'm not ready for operation has I'm in recovery from a cancer operation and I find it difficult to excersize my knee but the Lymthatic drainage does help me a lot thank you for that.
Hi 👋🏽 thank you for the video. I never had cancer. I have lymphedema on my leg and foot. I’m from South Africa
Thank you
Thank you so much 🤍
Thank you so much for this information! Would you recommend doing this before or after a workout?
I was told by a licensed lymphatic massage therapist that it couldn't be done outside the presence of a doctor in case a recipient of lymphatic drainage massage went into cardiac arrest due to to much fluid from the lymphatic system . Is this a case scenario or is the lymphatic drainage therapy accomplished slow enough the heart and kidneys can handle the extra fluids ? Thank you Doctor Kelly.
What's your take on vibration plates for lymphatic drainage? They're getting a lot of hype but I can't tell if it's just another health gimmick or not.
I've been doing this on my husband who has stomach cancer and is undergoing treatment that can sometimes cause leg swelling. It has worked wonders. He even asks me to do it when his legs are normal because it is so soothing. I would like to do some GENTLE massage on his belly to aid in digestion as well as calm that area, is there anything you can suggest? His belly is very sensitive but he seems to like when I just run my flat hands over it, but I'm unsure of the path I should take with them. Any suggestions would be appreciated. He is in so much pain from this, anything I can do to give him comfort is a blessing. Thank you so much for posting this wonderful video.!

Hi. Could you help with ascites in belly and left knee down into foot? I have PBC, a rare autoimmune disease
Will this benefit someone who’s had all lymph nodes removed on one arm?
Bonsoir , regrettable qu'il n'y ai pas de sous-titres en Français
Hi. I have lymphedema in my left leg. I noticed it was leaking clear fluid. Should I go to the doctor right away?
Thank you for this very helpful video. How many times a day is safe to do this drainage
Generally it’s safe to do multiple times, as long as a doctor clears someone - but it can be time consuming so many start with once
Hi Kelly I hv left breast removed with lymn nodes
Removed can I still do this massage u teach. Hope u can reply. Thks.😊❤
Are you saying massage works better in all the lymph areas?
Is this suitable for primary lymphedema as well? Many thanks.
The research for this was done for secondary lymphedema - but I hear there are groups working on research for primary! 🥳 generally the same principles and techniques are used for both right now, though
I need some answers please
Hello Is it possible to get lymphatic blockage from a massage that a practitioner has done by mistake, as they did something and immediately afterwards I felt heaviness in the legs and has continued for some time now since the massage lower back. appreciate your thoughts on how to reverse these symptoms.
I seriously doubt it. I’ve been a massage therapist over 30 years.
I have a question. I'm not sure if you respond to the questions, but. Here it goes. How long does it take after doing this daily? Should you see improvement?. Thanks in advance
Some people notice changes right away during and after, while others only notice minimal changes
Is this for someone who has lymphoedema due to lymph nodes removed.?
Yes
Im healthy (i think😊) but after massage i feel so good
Where are you. I need to bring my wife to you for consultation. PLEASE list contact information.
