🌤Spring is the perfect time to refresh your health routine while living with lymphedema.
🧚‍♂️Gentle exercises like walking, swimming, or stretching can improve circulation and reduce swelling.
🌼Setting a personal goal or joining a group can help keep you motivated.
🫗Hydration, balanced nutrition, and self-care are key to managing symptoms.
👍Drinking plenty of water, eating anti-inflammatory foods, and maintaining a skincare routine can make a big difference.
If you enjoy gardening, use raised beds or ergonomic tools to stay active with less strain.🌷
As temperatures rise, choosing breathable compression garments can help with comfort.🔥
Lighter fabrics and stylish options let you embrace spring fashion while prioritizing your health.👗

💛💙💛💙Spring is a season of renewal—step into it feeling strong, confident, and healthy! 😊

Knee replacement causes trauma to the knee, and it's likely to be weeks and sometimes months before pain subsides. Physical therapy is imperative. You must plan to set time aside to go to physical therapy and to work hard to regain strength and flexibility. Following our physical therapists advice will make the difference between a successful recovery and your knee being a pain in the… knee.
Disregarding their advice or skipping appointments should never be a choice.
At Self Care Therapy, our therapists ensure you don’t tumble into any major setbacks. So, follow their well-crafted treatment plan to help with your unique healing journey.

Proper management of lymphedema involves strategies such as compression therapy, exercise, and manual lymphatic drainage, addressing the root cause of the condition rather than relying on quick fixes that may do more harm than good. SELF CARE THERAPY Certified Lymphedema Therapists have the most up-to-date information about lymphedema treatment, and can help guide you in how to discuss the use of diuretics for lymphedema with your overseeing physician in addition to providing the critical components of therapy essential in reducing and maintaining the reduction of swelling found in lymphedema.
