Left Arm Lymphedema Massage: Full Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage By a Lymphedema Therapist

Lymphatic drainage massage, or lymphedema massage, is an important part of managing lymphedema and swelling. Follow along for a FULL manual lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) routine to the LEFT arm. I describe the techniques and sequence used by a certified lymphedema therapist, as well as address fibrosis. I also discuss and review differences in sequencing for those with lymphedema in the left arm and chest wall.
I used a second view to see another angle of the lymphatic drainage technique and sequencing.

Thank you so much your Lymphedema Massage has made such a difference after my left Mascemtomy. After so many medical appointments it's nice to be able to do this at home.

[wendywhite]

How often should you do this post-surger It's been a month since I had a lymph biopsy and Ionly removed two, but I'm struggling with lymphedema

[lindapepin]

Is this exercise good for the right arm?

[suzannegagnon]

I've just found your videos after 26 years since I had intensive chemo, a radical mastectomy and 3 glands removed. 3 years ago I had the other breast removed and more chemo. My neck and around my ears especially have been getting so stiff. I've only started the exercises a couple of days ago thank you so much these are a God send.

[helenho]

Wow, super helpful & thorough. Felt lighter and better range of motion right away. Love the 2nd camera angle 🙏🙏🙏

[emokesarungi]

Your videos gave me a wonderful morning routine of my selfcare. Thank you! ❤

[dorisottati]

Kali, thank you for helping me with this lymphedema, I have a question, which one do you recommend for arm lymphedema? Drainage or arm exercises? Please give me your advice.
Thanks again 🙏!

Спасибо, Келли, за очень показательные и полезные упражнения .Я надеюсь они помогут уменьшить отечность руки У меня лимфодема 3 степени .Мне удалили грудь в 2016 году, после 4 сеансов химиотерапии и 20 сеансов лучевой терапии появилась отёчность, которая увеличилась после рожистого воспаления в 2019 году и повторно в 2021 году .Отечность стала ещё больше и прибавилась отёчность кисти .После нескольких упражнений отёчность кисти частична спала .Надеюсь ваши рекомендации помогут уменьшить отёчность руки .

[mrsny]

Thank you for your videos and thorough explanation. I had a lumpectomy and struggle with lymphatic fluid in my arm. I try to do LDM on my own but doing it WITH your guidance and at your pace seems to work so much better than doing this alone. I've visited this video a few times in the last 9 months. It's kind of like going through this with a friend

[TheProfessorandHerPassport]

Should I wear me compression sleeve while doing the massage?

[NG-uoem]

Hello, how important is it that your hand movements/strokes are gentle? If I use some pressure and force, will this method still be as effective? Thank you 🙏

[amyli]

Can I just do these lymphatic drainage exercises for overall lymph health? I love your site.

[dianaflores]

Thank you 🙏🏽 this helped me! I didn’t do the inside of my side since I have a drain line; but everything else helps me!!

[susanking]

I suggest in watching video better is to watch the opposite arm. I have right affected but to follow exactly her movements I do left arm massage

[ahmedabdelbaset]

Thanks greatly for such valuable and simple information
May Allah bless you

[bhawnaadhikari]

I had breast cancer surgery with auxiliary clearance... Now swelling in forearm. Will it be go completely after massage and compression sleeves.. plz reply

[mamaj]

Thank you so much lymphatic therapists are so hard to find even in big cities ❤

[sitmengchue]

Hi Kelly, is is better to do this left arm massage SEATED rather than lying down?
And if i were massaging for another person? The recipient shld be seated? Thank u.

[xiaodifeng]

If I only have swelling in left hand and fingers, do I still do the whole manual massage showed in this video? Or should I only do the massage of hand and forearm? Thank you.
