 | DID YOU KNOW? |  | | Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) stimulates lymphatic vessels to pump fluid in greater volume. It also directs stagnant lymph within swollen tissues to enter these vessels for removal, resulting in better lymph circulation. In lymphedema therapy, MLD further assists this circulation to circumvent blockages.

"Lymphedema: Understanding and Managing Lymphedema After Cancer Treatment"
The American Cancer Society |
People who have had cancer treatment may be at risk for lymphedema, a buildup of fluid that results in swelling of the arm or leg and other potential complications. Anyone who has undergone the surgical removal of lymph nodes or other surgery or radiation that affects the lymph nodes or lymph vessels may develop this lifelong condition. But many people do not realize they are at risk. To shed light on this often-misunderstood and overlooked condition, the experts at the American Cancer Society have created an up-to-date, comprehensive guide to every aspect of lymphedema, including: (1) who may develop the condition, precautions that may reduce risk, and common symptoms; (2) how to cope with potential physical and emotional challenges such as swelling and skin changes, altered body image, and changes in daily activities; (3) treatment and management recommendations, including monitoring and self-care; (4) practical issues such as finding a lymphedema therapist, insurance challenges, work-related concerns, and treatment costs.
