Just needed to say I've been doing your routine morning and evening for the last week with no diet change and lost 2 pounds and no more swelling of my ankles! Thank you!
Wow!
That is a fantastic routine. Thank you very much. Great job!
Please don’t listen to the negative comments! This is amazing!! Thank you❤
Amazing. I did this routine last night, and my legs look like someone else's today. My ankles are quite noticeably smaller. Even varicose veins seem less noticeable. I took pictures of my legs and shared with family members! After about a week of massaging "the big six" lymph node areas, a bit of dry brushing, and massaging facial lymph node areas, I feel health and vitality returning. Thank you so much for your clear and helpful videos. Doing this work gives me hope for a healthy life beyond my fifties.
That’s a great routine. Thank you.
You are saving my life and what I mean. Is you giving me the life I want to live. This video is a game changer for me thank you so much!
Thank you for this video, Kelly.Excellent exercises which I can actually do.I have lymphedema in the legs and arthritis . Thanks again for your video
This is sooooo helpful!! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I have much swelling in my legs and ankles. Did the exercise routine last night and notice only slight swelling going down, but my legs felt very much rejuvenated
Thank you for taking the time sharing your videos. You are a blessing
I wanted to thank you. I believe in prayer. Felt I should try this way of working out to help with my legs. Have tried it for several days. Skip one day-- notice had more inflammation. Told my chiropractor about your video to make sure I was doing the right thing. He was very pleased. So thank you again. Sarah Bennett.
There is no sound while you are giving the instructions but I followed the exercises all the same, I have swelling in my ankles and legs so I'm glad I found your videos, thank you.

Hello,
I really wanted to thank you.
Although I was using this exercise to help reduce the swelling after an ankle sprain.
And it really works magic for me !!
After the exercise I kept elevating my legs on a below and doing pumping exercises regularly and I can see the difference in my swelling :) :).
God bless you for this video. I need it so much. ❤

Theses are great and work! How often can they be done?
One year back started liphedema . Really am suffering lot . This is helpful me thank u sister from India
I have been suffering from this disease for the last 13 years , I have been swelling in my complete left leg,
The doctor said to me that it couldn't be cured.
I am requesting you if you have any treatment for this
I will be very thankful to you
Very good thanks for my pain on my feet
Danke!
Thank you so much. Just going thru once with the video my ankle got unswollen
Excellent for anyone. We all need to drain the lymphatic systems
Love this video! Thank you so much I just found you. I have started using a rebounder and was wondering if I should do your exercise before or after? 😊
Hi my daughter only 17 has developed lymphedema its too much bothering me as a mother it's right leg swelling
@@bhagyagawda2723Hopefully she got a scan and bloodwork done to find the cause, with one leg swelling there is likely a cause that may need attention. There is in my case. And yea, encourage her to do exercises to reduce the edema and also to improve blood circulation. The goal is to reduce the risk of varicose veins or blood clots forming in veins in the legs. Wishing you and her the best in dealing with it.
Thank you for this video, Kelly. Excellent exercises which I can actually do. I have lymphedema in the legs (and knee arthritis), but I can actually do this routine, and it has helped greatly.
Hi Kell y, just what we need .... please post something similar for an Ear lymphatic drainage and around ear lymph nodes are very bothersome - its so helpful to know what to do and how - symptoms are appearing out of nowhere - how do we clear this ?? thanks a million !!!!
Thank you so much for sharing the above video. However how do I go about the above exercise as i can't sit down
Great 😃👍
How did you know I needed this? After I had my baby I have been suffering from pelvic issues and edema on my legs ,knees, and ankle.
1.5 years postpartum and still have terrible swelling in my legs. Trying this and lymph detox. No help from my clueless doctor. Already changed my diet, drank more water, didn’t fix it.
@@ScorpioR1sing
I am in the same boat as you. I still have swelling on my hips, legs, knee and stomach. Doctors are no help, PT has not helped me either.I am also suffering from back pain. Feel totally helpless
7th you're not 8
I am in the same boat. My legs and stomach are still swollen 2 years after giving birth. Nothing is working so far and GP is no help, am trying these exercises and praying they will help
@@farihahdean8642
So sorry. Looks like we are not alone on this problem but unfortunately doctors and PT are not helpful either. I did PT for almost 8 months paid out of pocket 2x a week with no helpful results. I decided to stop going and learn to live with this. It's very depressing and definitely affects my self esteem.
Wonderful and beautiful thank you so much for sharing your experience 8
In other words I can keep my stockings on before I start. Thank you so much!
🎉❤helped first time
Hi Kelly I have been watching your videos and really find them so useful, My surgeon said I need to concentrate exercises on my upper chest on the side of my mastectomy . I wondered if you have any specific exercises that you could recommend. Thank You
Same here.
Renu Roy from Germany.
I have swelling only on my right foot and ankle. Is it ok to practice these exercises every day?
I happen to see this video! How fantastic, that these were just the leg exercises, that I needed!
My feet and legs were tired! I did them just before going to bed, and when I wake up in the morning! Doing these exercises, has strengthen my legs and the stress, on them!
I thank you so much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
is this useful for celullite?
So helpful. I have leg and foot lymphedema. I did not have cancer, but was diagnosed with it 13 years ago when I had my first baby girl. I keep my weight down and do not have salt in my diet. I enjoyed these exercises. Anyone else experience mild case of lymphedema after pregnancy?
Thank you for these. The swelling in my legs and ankles has got worse, despite the compression stockings. I do hope these exercises will help.
Burdock root helps remove lymp fluid..find herbs to do with these exersizes I enjoyed the exersizes lol I didn't even know what lympatic system was till all these years...but she was a easy teacher
@@aliciamilam5636 Thank you, I hadn't thought of burdock.
Compression hosiery also made my swelling worse until my physio told me to stop them. Yoga and elevation have helped greatly. I also use a folded blanket under my mattress to help with drainage while I sleep. I bought a mobiderm night device and it has greatly broken down my fibrosis, now my leg is soft and is no longer double the size of my other leg
Is this helpful for Lipedema as well? Thanks so much for these helpful videos!
Hello! Absolutely, it can be done by anyone if they are safely able 🙂
This is great info! Do we do these in the AM & would we combine them with MLD? Thank-you, Kelly
PS: I sent your COVID vids to my PT.
Same question! Which is best? Am or pm? Both? I do MLD in the am Lymphatic pump in pm.
@@gabbidewitt3959 I’m having a big flare up in this heat so I am doing both.
@@gabbidewitt3959 what does MLD stand for?
I get shin pain on my right leg. Any excercides for that ?
Are these yoga's exercise
When is the best time to do this? Morning or night before we sleep?
How often should you do this and how often can you do this? It has really helped me but not sure about how often I can do this lol thanks
How to treat when the whole arms and hands are swelling because after my operation in my breast cancer. Please teach me how to treat at home. I thank you
I’m about to try this! I have such swollen feet and legs because I sit at my job all day. By the time I get home my feet look fat 😅
This felt very nice. Thank you : )
😂
What about the dwelling in the feet and legs that comes with blisters and poss , it hurts so bad .Any body has an idea about that
I highly recommend compression socks!! They are wonderful!! (Make sure you get the right fit.)
I have had multiple surgeries to remove my lymph nodes. I wear compression stockings and do all the exercises I see you recommend. I just want to know does the swelling and pain ever go away permanently or will i live with it forever(if I survive the cancer).
I really really hope and praying that you are doing really fine right now and winning against cancer with the help of God. you can do it ! with God we pray for you to be healed 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Can these exercises help reduce spider veins ?
i don't have this condition but it seems like we should all be doing this sequence.
Maybe I did skip that... how many times a day do you recommend doing these exercises? Tia
Can we massage a swollen neck due to lymphoma. Or any other advise please
Yes u can, i ‘m a medical massage therapist i did helped a lot of clients reducing the inflammation
Kelly: Can lymphedema involve the belly area? I have it in my ankles and lower legs; the pump my doctor arranged for me does help a lot but is not helping the fluid I swear came on at the same time. (no pregnancy jokes folks, I am a semi old lady). If you have wisdom to impart on this particular aspect of the condition it would be appreciated.
Yes. The Imi's Bigan Yoga channel has a couple of videos that are fantastic for belly lymph.
Can you make a non-boring version of this, with less talk and cool music? I wanted to strangulate myself while watching it :) thanks.
What if you cannot lift your legs due to the lymphedema??
what is the best way to do this when you have limited mobility? I'm in a wheelchair
I am suffering from this disease since last 13 years. I have swelling in complete one leg due to lymphedema.I used a comparison garment., do you have any treatment for it? I belong from India and I am a 31 year old man. I consulted many doctors but they say that in India it couldn't be cure
I will be very thankful to you. 🙏
It's not curable if it's lymphedema or lipedema according to my understanding, but compression garments are recommended and exercises such as these in this video are to help one manage the condition. I'm not a medical expert, I'm just telling you what I've been told.
Try to go to a vascular specialist, as they have more understanding of these diseases than primary care doctors.
👍👍👍👍
I hope this will help me. My ankles are super swollen at bedtime. They’re normal in the morning 😢
I hope you're doing well now.. please keep praying and fighting
If you jump on a small trampoline for one minute every morning you open and shut every gate…you don’t have to jump hard. If the patient can hold a bar trampoline they can get that all going.
Tried this exercise and I had feet cramps 😫 any recommendation . Cramps always happen when I do even simple exercise or stretching
This happens when i am dehydrated or out of shape i push through
Does this also help with circulation?
It will, absolutely!
@@CancerRehabPT awesome! Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much. I love the exercises. My only problem is hearing you swallow all the time. I almost didn’t do the exercise but I drudges through it. I am neurodivergent and this is one of my sensitivities. I hear that drinking lots of water and staying hydrated helps. Sorry for the negative comment. But it really is distracting to otherwise great video ❤
That is funny because I was going to say the same thing. 😂
Thank 😊you
Leg lymphedema point
I have been doing these exercises for months for sciatica. My sciatica is good, did not help one bit for edema.
Are lymph is clear by by vitamins A,C,E and vita 5:
I’m 71. What stretches can i do to sit Indian yoga style or don’t my muscles do that anymore?
You want connective tissue stretches.
Hi there, just wanted to know as after having a stroke a year ago and having a pacemaker whether these activities will be appropriate.
Also, really want to do the lymphatic drainage …
Sure both will be of huge benefit
Swollen thigs. will go
lymphodema is not only people with cancer.
Dear Maddam I want to talk with you
🍞
I have to mute this because the swallowing noises are too much. But good video thank you regardless
This is great but a little too much talking lol
Thank you
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your kindness and support! I greatly appreciate it!
Thank you
