Early lymphoedema treatment: compression and beyond

Worried that exercise will make lymphoedema worse? It may actually help.

In this video, I explore the early detection and treatment options for lymphoedema, starting with the basics like wearing a compression sleeve or glove for four weeks.

We also discuss decongestive therapy, which can include massage and specialized machines.

And don't overlook the importance of exercise, physical therapy, and occupational therapy in managing the condition.

What has been your experience with these treatments?
