Self-massage

I found this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9FP6AHj9Eo&feature=related and have found it to work, to my surprise. When I feel a bit of puffiness, I do the routine on the neck, have a cup of tea and most of the time, it solves the problem.

Just thought I would pass it on.

Great video--it's so easy to "skimp" on MLD, and doing the neck/termiinus is so important

it was particularly useful to me, because I developed a problem while my PT was on vacation (which she still is). Also, I had asked the PT to show me what I could do for myself, and she just vaguely said "oh, whatever I do," which did not help me much.

Momine, have you looked at the self-care videos at the Northwest Lymphedema center?

they were very helpful to me--I just got a handout...

Kira, thanks so much. I had not found those.

The one Momine posted is quite well done: very thorough demonstration. What made me chuckle is the list of similar MLD and related videos that showed up on the side of the screen when I was watching the video. Lots on MLD and then there is the one that promises 'from a B to a C Cup...'

--now THAT would be quite the outcome!

Thanks to both of you for posting these.
