Today is World Lymphoedema day!🌍🎗️
To celebrate, I’m telling you a few facts about Lymphoedema:
Did you know:
🦵There are two types of Lymphoedema - Primary (caused by genetic mutations) and Secondary (caused by damage to the lymphatic system due to factors such as cancer treatment, surgery or injury)
💪Over 200,000 people are affected by Lymphoedema in the UK
✋Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy is the comprehensive treatment plan for managing Lymphoedema, it includes manual lymphatic drainage massage alongside compression garments, exercise, skin care and self drainage massage.
🦶Manual lymphatic drainage massage uses a very light pressure because the initial lymphatic system that the massage works with is close to the skin’s surface
