One of the biggest myths of lymphoedema, a chronic condition that causes swelling in the tissue of a particular area of the body, is don't exercise.

But actually gentle and targeted exercise can help increase the lymphatic flow and ease swelling. Your care team can help you devise an exercise plan, which may involve specific exercises, depending on the body part affected, as well as gentle activities that involve the whole body, such as swimming, cycling and walking.

However, your body's response to exercise should be monitored. Look for any changes in how you feel - heaviness, aching, fatigue, numbness or tingling. If these occur, ease up on the exercise and consult your health care team.

For more advice, book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists or lymphatic massage therapist.

The is less than a month away!
Now more than ever it’s important for all runners out there to stay limber for the big day. Not surprising, the biggest area prone to injury during marathon training is the legs and hips. While it may be tempting to take a quick breather, or simply lie down on the pavement after an exhausting run, this is precisely when you need to be sure your muscles are stretched properly to avoid injury.

Here are 2 calf stretches to start you off.

Stretch 1:
1) Place both hands against a wall and have all toes facing the wall.
2) Step the right leg back as far as possible while still being able to keep the right foot flat on the floor
and all toes facing the wall.
3) Lean forward, bending the left knee. Be sure the left knee never goes past the toes. Hold for 30-40
seconds.
4) Bend the right knee - ensuring the right foot stays flat - to get a deeper stretch. Hold for 30 seconds.
5) Repeat the above steps on the opposite side.

Stretch 2:
1) Stand with feet hip distance apart. Step the right foot forward.
2) Point the right toes up towards the sky, keeping the heel firmly planted on the ground.
3) Bend the left knee to deepen the stretch. Hold for 30-40 seconds.
4) Repeat the above steps on the opposite side.

For any advice you need on safe ways to run and care for your body while you train for the marathon, book an appointment with one of our physiotherapists. Call us on 949-8828, or email physio@candw.ky

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚💜

Mental health matters each moment of every day, on the good days, as well as the bad. But on this day we shine a light on the importance and impact of mental health on our lives, and the lives of friends, family, colleagues and those around us. World Mental Health Day acts as a powerful reminder that there is no health without mental health.

Today our team will be at the World Mental Health Day Symposium providing participants with a little moment of relaxation and self care with some mini massages.

This is a fantastic event, where people have the chance to attend a variety of sessions led by Infinite Mindcare. In between sessions there are also networking opportunities, mindful puzzles and games, head and neck mini massages and refreshments.
