Video Description
Welcome to our channel! In today’s video, we are going to walk you through a series of upper limb exercises specifically designed for individuals dealing with lymphedema. Lymphedema can cause uncomfortable swelling, heaviness, and decreased mobility in the arms, often following surgery, radiation therapy, or injury. These exercises are aimed at improving lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling, and restoring movement, helping you feel more comfortable and regain function. Why These Exercises Are Important: Lymphedema occurs when there’s a blockage or damage to the lymphatic system, leading to fluid retention. Regular movement and targeted exercises can help stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, prevent further buildup, and improve overall arm function. In this video, we’ll go over simple and effective exercises that you can do safely at home, as part of your daily routine. What You’ll Learn in This Video: * Breathing Exercises for Relaxation: Relaxation techniques to reduce stress and help with fluid management. * Lymphatic Drainage Techniques: Exercises designed to encourage fluid movement and reduce swelling in the upper limb. * Range of Motion & Flexibility: Stretches and movements that promote flexibility in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand Important Notes: * Always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise program, especially if you have lymphedema or other medical conditions. Your healthcare team can help you tailor the exercises to your individual needs. * Start slowly, and listen to your body. If you feel pain or excessive discomfort, stop and consult with a physiotherapist. * Consistency is key! Regular practice of these exercises can have a significant positive impact on your lymphedema management.
