I'm a massage therapist and certified MLD therapist and will be doing lymphedema training later this year and I really appreciate all of your informative videos and love sharing them with our clients for homework and education, so thank you!

[@tamaradasilva2876]

After a mastectomy 10 months ago and lymph node removal in march. I've had allsorts of problems and horrendous pain. Nobody warned me, told me to expect it, let alone how to ease it. Thankfully I have finally realised what it is and then found you. For the first time in months I can feel my arm and am free of pain. Thankyou,ore than you know, thankyou x

[@DeAnnaKeller]

I didn't know what was wrong but two and two together and found these videos too. I had two partial mastectomies and they took my lymph nodes out of both arm pits. I never knew the effects of the surgery until now. It's awful

[@galemonifahmusic]

Thank you, this is lovely. I have been using this several times a week and it really helps with fibromyalgia symptoms. I have memorized but I still come back as it forces me to be patient with my body and not rush. I noticed that I have a tendency to sweat more as I am doing this, I figured this must be the lymph nodes speaking to me. awesome, thank you, gratitude!

[@everleighxoxox]

I’d highly suggest taking magnesium glycinate supplements, along with D3 and K2, and then also look into wild yam cream and oil packing, specifically with castor oil. All of these things for fibromyalgia. Good luck 💜

You can feel the reaction of the tissue and with the machine you can not manage the pressure. With manual therapy you can work with varied scales. With LPG and other machines you give bruises. It always hurts

[@Nethermind-ln3yo]

My ex boyfriend spent time in the hospital and he said they gave him lymph clearing massages every other day. So he asked if he could give me one because it will boost my immune system and it's just good for your health. He massaged me from head to toe in one direction from core to finger tips and from core to toes. He said all the bad energy and toxins have to go out through your ties and finger tips. He did the whole thing backwards! And my lymph system was stimulated alright. I got so sick!! My hands and feet swelled up from built up lymph fluid and he pushed the fluid into my feet and hand with his massage. Never get a massage from an amateur. I don't know if he did it wrong on purpose - he was evil like that - or if his hospital massages were done by incompetent nurses but I'll never get a message from anyone but a trusted professional.

[@rubberbiscuit99]

Glad you are free of that one. Diabolical.

[@carolinelaronda4523]

It sounds like he had good intentions but definitely did not do a service to you. If it makes you feel any better every time I have tried to move my own lymph and was certain I was doing it properly. I get an infection of sorts whether it be viral or just get sick so I don’t do it anymore, and I would be nervous to even have it done by professional because of the fact That I always get sick after the slightest movement .

[@Thepetpedisock]

Reminds me of my ex. Some people are evil. Glad you're away from him.

Lymph drainage is excellent especially with past cancer. Also reflexology, I saw it myself. Before my cancer was removed my pinky toe as well as my big toe had skin drying, turning hard and rubbing off and I had swelling on my pinky toes and when my cancer was removed, masectomy i had no more of that permanently

Thank you. Am doing this pre-surgery in the hope of preventing lymphedema. Will be looking at your other videos for post surgery. When I fractured my ankle dry brushing helped with the swelling.

[@lovelytravelscapes]

Thank you soooo much for this ! Was looking for a full body video ❤

[@JazlynnBeltran]

Hi! Quick question! Does it not matter the movement of your hands and the number of times you do each in a section? Movement of hands would be because the lymph nodes run in different directions and in order to open them up you would have to do little L’s (and to make sure it’s in three exact movements push in/up/release). Your video is just showing to do it carelessly (not in a bad way) where as the way I’m talking about is more defined in the three steps. Number of times would be 5-7 always at major lymph points. 5-7 when working down the body, and ONLY 2 times when working way back up, except when at major points? Just wanted to see if you were just doing a quick run through and not being elaborate or if you were taught as if it didn’t make a difference?? Thank you!!

[@arkadijbucci64]

What about the role of muscle contraction through regular exercise on the lymph flow, lymphatic system, lymphatic drainage? Is it more relevant compared with a manual lymphatic drainage alone? Also, what about breathing practices like pranayama, what about a good balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic systems in relation to lymph flow and drainage? I mean, perhaps MLD is a "symptomatic" segmented manual way to address lymph towards discharge points. Instead exercise, breathing and balancing awareness practices (symp-/parasymp- athetic nervous system) are a kind of "embedded" automatic way to facilitate the natural lymph flow through the body. Thank you :)

Thank you so much for your videos. Is doing the full body laympathic drainage massage benefits when you have cold symptoms or it can make it worse? I read that having a massage should be avoided when you are sick with flu/cold but not sure it also applies to lymphatic drainage massage? Thank you❤

[@martialartspracticevids8775]

Longtime massage therapist here-massage or lymphatic drainage can definitely make cold/flu symptoms worse but can also help clear the waste products of the immune system’s response more quickly so you MUST hydrate after the treatment to help your body process the bad stuff out! So, avoid bodywork if you are not prepared to feel a bit (or a lot) worse the next day, but hydration can help alleviate this to a degree
