Dry Brushing for Lymphatic Drainage of the Face, Head, and Neck - By a Lymphedema Physical Therapist

[@CancerRehabPT]

Hello everyone! I have taken the feedback from another video about remembering to pull my hair back and for all of the newer, face videos I have made this switch (along with removing all music). I appreciate the kind, respectful feedback. And going forward I’ll adjust it 😊 thank you for the grace as I still learn how to do this video thing! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@msusanti]

Hi, how do you drain one side of the fece if you’d had some lymph nodes removed?

[@athomewithlo2048]

Your videos are amazing!❤️

[@jica4141]

Could you please answer "how often to do this"?

[@CancerRehabPT]

@@jica4141 yes, there is no mandatory frequency. Some may do it once a day, some may do it once a week. Whatever works for them!

[@agnesw8071]

You are doing brillianty.I feel relaxed just watching you explaing this.Very happy to find this video and I already have body and face brushes.Thank you

[@Inner-wellbeing]

Great videos and content! One interesting observation: you mention that dry brushing is a “new technique” for lymphatic drainage. It is relatively new in America, but it is an old ancient technique of Ayurveda used in India, about 2000 years old or more!

[@LLK7962]

WOW I just said the same thing!

[@sarahbhutta251]

Was thinking the same.

[@smileofthecentury]

She’s a medical therapist that treats cancer patients. I think she means that it’s a new treatment, Ie only newly recommended for cancer patients with lymphoedema issues post surgery/chemotherapy.

[@AnshRus]

Yes!

[@SpiceyNice]

Yeah. Definitely not new at all

[@gopro7164]

You are a really good teacher. Straightforward to the point. With a good example. And you didn't waste a lot of time. Thank you very much!

[@jenniferibarra7737]

I don’t have any problems . I just do these lymph drainage massage because my skin tone was uneven and my face gets so puffy from PCOS these massages make me feel beautiful I tried only for 3 days and I got many compliments from family that my face looks much slimmer and brighter . So I’m guessing this helps brighten skin.

[@ashs7066]

Dry brushing is very good for skin, it helps to tighten and smoothen skin. You will be amazed by the smoothness of your skin after brushing for a week. Cellulite will also look less prominent after sometime. It declogs pores, black heads and white heads also loosen. There are just too many benefits

[@Angelica-hb6pp]

[@jlkellen3519]

The first time I used a dry brush on my face, it was slightly sensitive. That quickly diminished in the following days. The stimulated feeling afterwards feels so good. I can't miss a day now. It has soften my skin texture as well. I wish I would have started this practice years ago. I appreciate tips on promoting proper lymph drainage. Thanks!

[@DChristina]

Using a mini trampoline or rebounder is hands-down the best thing you can do for your lymphatic system! Even a gentle ‘health bounce’ works. If you can, get a good one. 💕

[@mariachristina9029]

💯 you can feel the drainage happening

[@GM-bq6zo]

Will rebounding even stimulate lymph flow in the face for example? Or just mainly legs etc

[@DChristina]

@@GM-bq6zo - I believe it’s a whole-body benefit. You know, “the leg 🦵🏼 bone’s connected to the, hip bone🎶”

[@shiamaxwell3482]

Yes the trampoline is great, but I like dry brushing to remove dead skin .

[@DanaOira]

Is bouncing on a yoga ball effective too?

[@ariellelionessofYah]

I just started dry brushing my face and it feels so amazing! Thanks for the tips on the direction of brushing for proper lymph drainage💛

[@ruthbrunotte385]

Beautiful young lady. Relaxing to watch and very knowledgable. So refreshing to watch. Thank you

[@raeanna451]

Thank you! I could feel all of the lymph draining as I did this. Had to clear my throat so many times and when I was done I was soooo much less puffy 👍❤️

[@Godz_Girl]

Yes. I'm so happy. 😊

[@carmenbrock5964]

I love the way you present your videos. Your explanations are thorough & to the point. Thanks for the tips regarding small strokes versus circular motion. The illustration that depicts the flow of drainage was particularly helpful.

[@dustyfeller]

Thank you Kelly! I swear that I can feel immediate improvement. And that’s surprising, because so little pressure is being applied to the skin tissue. It’s hard to visualize what’s happening under the skin, in the lymphatic system-it’s hard to imagine that enough fluid is moving to make any difference. Yet, I can feel the effect, even if I can’t visualize it.

[@supatx1399]

Started today dry brushing my face and it felt amazing for my sinus issues. Thank you!

I'm wondering if i compromised my skin brush after I used it in the shower for a long time not realizing I should've used it dry? Will it have the same impact after using it in the shower for so long? woops!!

[@Godz_Girl]

Here I thought this brush wasn't working, it was such a light touch , UNTIL I SAW YOUR VIDEO...I am going to continue and I thank you for this video and all your videos....

[@goldengoddass5560]

My tonsils have been swollen for over a year, I’m really excited to try this!

[@rozgil7982]

Thank you for this. I had a recent injury which resulted in major bruising throughout my face. The discoloration has lasted over a month and this exercise helped speed up the process and noticeable after just 2-3 days.

[@marytesta3003]

Very good video. I'm an LMT and always do this method on the neck and face with my hand. Clients love it. The gentle light touch is very relaxing. Then I gently massage with Rosehip oil.

[@spikejones1908]

What a grounded young woman. Very helpful! Thank you!

[@sydneydrake2789]

Thank you for the useful information. Interesting fact: You'll find mention of dry brushing in Dostoevsky's "War and Peace". In a bivouac of the battlefield one of the generals turns to yell at his orderly because he's not brushing the general hard enough.

[@yvsivay]

Just a little correction: "War and Peace" was written by Tolstoy, not Dostoevsky.

[@sydneydrake2789]

@@yvsivay aargh! You're right!😲

[@Josh-pe5pl]

Great explanations. Showing the drawing at the same time was very helpful.

[@rebeccaann5364]

Thanks cause I had no clue how to use my dry brush. I received one in my subscription box.

[@WellWithHels]

Ooooh I need to get a mini brush and try this! I usually do my body, but hadn't thought about face. Thanks! xx

[@koolkarishma95]

Thanks for this video! And for teaching us the correct way to brush! I'd be buying my mom a brush ASAP for her legs and sending her this video. I have a request, please consider Hindi subtitles. Especially if you have some following in India. A lot of old people, like my mom, suffer from Varicose Veins. It would be sooooo helpful if she could understand you directly from the video.

[@CancerRehabPT]

Thank you so much for the kindness and the feedback. I will look into that!

So very very useful and REWARDING INFORMATION. I'M SO AMAZED A SIMPLE TOUCH REMOVES AND RELIEVES PAIN... CHRONIC PAIN. AFTER 2 DAYS OF YOUR SIMPLE SIMPLE TECHNIQUES, I FEEL YEARS YOUNGER HONESTLY..

[@analorenzon8115]

Thanks for sharing this professional info and clear explanation. Will this help for puffy eyes?

[@TheSwissChalet]

Puffy eyes means you are deficient in iodine.

[@susanwolf8495]

I just started dry brushing after watching your video . Three weeks ago I had foot surgery...can not bathe. This technique is going to change my skin!

[@noneyabusiness1302]

Yes! It has transformed my skin! Like baby soft and NO tiny bumps anywhere. 🤗 I adore my skin!

Got our dry brushes today for the family. I'll definitely try this on my mum because she broke her wrist but it still swells after 2 months. I have high hopes!

[@bayong3404]

I do dry brush regularly not knowing I'm helping my lymphatic drainage I just don't coz I don't develop sagging skin my skin is shiny and renewed. And still confident on my shorty shorts at age of 42. But knowing now that it helps my lymphatic drainage I feel like it's worth the time I'm taking before jumping in the shower.

[@خالدة-ب7ف]

Can you tell me about the qualities of a good brush? How many times a week should I apply oil or shower after?

[@tammysiemer4872]

Great video, Are there any suggestions regarding the care of your brush and other words how often should you wash it, ie put it in the dishwasher washing machine ect and how often should you replace it?

[@MarietteLientz]

Thank you so much. Very informative!, One suggestion you may want to put your hair up so we can view everything clearly.

[@SuzyFullerCandyCrushGuru]

I feel like this woman is caring, competent, and probably makes great life choices. When they start making robot best friends, they should model it after her. Then my best friends and I will have at least one positive influence! ;)

good instructions but would be more effective if your hair was pulled back to avoid u constantly pushing the hair out of the way to show clearly how dry brushing benefits.

Hi Kelly. I clicked the link in your video. Can you tell which brush and which brush for the body do you recommend best? There are so many choices. Thank you.

[@lamisharakeh4285]

Hii, thank you very much you are very sweet and professional. I love your videos. Please can u help me by providing a drainage massage to my condition ( I had 150 lymph nodes removed from my neck) from both sides. Where to guide the drainage? Not to the ears cz I don't have any nodes there!

I found your channel due to Carnivore/Ketovore/Keto influencers recommending dry brushing for those of us that have had massive weight loss to help tighten lose skin. I have fat pockets on the outside of both ankles and the glands under my chin have been have been swollen since I was a teen (67 y/o now). Will be trying your techniques.

Dry brushing has changed my life. As much as the neti pot. They have been instrumental in getting me off pharma dope.

[@Anonymous-pk8bk]

What’s the main difference between massaging the lymph areas and dry brushing or is it basically the same as far as the benefits? I’ve tried the brushing for other areas like my legs to help with cellulite and brushing the lymphatic areas up towards the proper direction but I didn’t see a difference and someone mentioned it has to be “deep tissue massage. I’m new to learning about the lymphatic system.

[@elisabethpackham7548]

your codes on dry brushing are the best i’ve found🤍 thanks for sharing!

[@jica4141]

I watched a second time to find out how often. That wasn't addressed. Several commentors have asked that, as well as other good questions. Would be nice to have answers.

[@julissag4474]

[@LLK7962]

You should be just rinsing your brush with hot water after every use and leaving it to dry.

[@mahastimansouri2245]

Or maybe you put it in the dish washer and let it dry

Good morning, I found your channel just by chance and thank goodness I did. I love your exercises and advice. But, would like to know if there is a softer brush to use? I purchased the ones you suggested through Amazon. But, they are a little harsh. Thank you for providing such great information.

[@heidinuest3286]

Hi Kelly, I have trouble with drainage in my abdomen, both above and below my belly button. How do you recommend dry brushing these areas?

[@laurahill409]

Hi Kelly! I've been doing your dry brushing for face & neck area for about 2 weeks because my face is always puffy. I have really enjoyed it! My question is...why would the right side of my face remain puffy but my left side is less puffy? I do the routine evenly on both sides. Should I concentrate more time on the right side? Thank you!

[@melindadevito7326]

I would like to know the same. I have no lymph nodes in my right side under my arm. I spent equal time on both sides but noticed that the right side of my face is puffier than the left. I’m not sure if I should spend more time on the right or if it’s just that it’s more backed up and if I need to be doing this in a different direction. Hopefully Kelly will see our comments and answer. I love her videos and she’s so brilliant and informative 💖

[@MsVakong]

@@melindadevito7326 In a previous video, she said if you have no lymph nodes to send it to another lymph node. It will just build up if there is no lymph node to drain out the fluid.

[@geraldkurkjian2922]

How much do you know about valves? and that you have to caress lymph in the opposite sense, to facilitate valve lubrification and kicking-in, and then carry on with the usual caresses. Thanks much
