Lymphodoema - unusual exercise

Public Archive
1

Fortunately I do not (touches wood quickly) suffer from this condition but I spoke with a friend today who knows someone etc. Anyway, this someone has lymphodoema and uses a small trampoline once a day for 2 mins jumping up and down with her arms reaching up!! Apparently her swelling reduces by 2cm.

Sounds a bit unorthodox but might be worth a try, once medical experts have been consulted of course. Don’t want anyone doing themselves a mischief!

I don’t need any replies, just thought someone might like to try it and report back!

Hi Dahlia

yes apparently a trampoline gets the lymphatic system moving, this is probably why it reduces the swelling and although the lymph glands have been removed from the arm, the other glands in the body are supposed to take over and do the job.
