  1. How Therapists Help in Lymphedema Management The treatment methods of lymphedema focus on the reduction of physical and psychological suffering. Lymphedema occurs when the lymph nodes in the body are damaged. This restricts the smooth flow of the lymph fluid which results in swelling. In some cases, the swelling can be painful too. Lymphedema is a condition which is caused due to cancer treatments, surgeries and injuries. The affected body part starts to swell because of the accumulation of the fluid. It is best to start with the lymphedema treatment early to reduce the development of the condition. There is no complete cure for this condition but with timely and regular therapy, the condition can be managed. Identifying the symptoms at an early stage can also lower the risk. Finding the right lymphedema therapist is very crucial in treating the condition. Make sure that the therapist you choose is certified and well-experienced. Additionally, the therapist should be able to guide you correctly when it comes to managing the condition. Consult a lymphedema therapist in San Diego and prevent the growth of the condition. Here is how therapists can help with lymphedema management.

  2.  Breathing techniques Before starting with the lymphatic massage, the patients are told to follow a proper breathing technique. Certain breathing techniques impact the flow of the lymph fluid and also help during the massage. The therapist you choose needs to be well-experienced to guide you on the breathing techniques.  Preparing for the lymphatic massage Unlike other massage therapies, lymphatic massage needs proper preparation. See to it that your therapist guides you correctly for your first lymphatic massage. Some common things to remember before the massage are staying hydrated, wearing comfortable clothes, etc. Even when it comes to applying ointments and body creams before the massage, your therapist can guide you correctly.  Skin care When you choose a lymphedema therapist you need to inform the therapist about any skin problems you have. Lymphedema can cause stiffness in the skin. In serious cases, the condition can also lead to restricted movements. Ask your lymphedema therapist about skin care and maintenance. Visit a lymphedema therapist in San Diego and manage your condition effectively.
