  • Head and Neck Lymphedema can be challenging to manage. Compression garments for Neck Swelling, Face Swelling, or Head Swelling can be cumbersome physically, but also mentally and socially. In this video I go through a simple and easy routine of lymphedema exercises to reduce swelling to improve swallowing, speaking, and reduce pain.

    Wow! I’ve been into Lymphatic massage for the past 6 months & wish I would have found out about the benefits years ago! I had no idea how much it can help your overall well-being! I really love your routines! I’ve watched other videos on Lymphatic massage & you definitely are way more knowledgable! Thanks so much:)

    Thank you so much for making this video. It helps me a lot. A FB Lymphedema group member said they use a small paint roller instead of their hands to do their exercises. I tried it, and boy does it work great. Others should try it out!

    Thank you very much! After getting the mouth swab test I got poisoned and lost lots of my senses, along with the lymph nodes swilling. It’s been 4 days that I felt that and now I decided to take a better stance and found your channel. Thank you! We all are gonna heal

    Kellie, thank you so much for your channel I’ve been suffering from lymphedema for years of course my doctors don’t tell me anything but prescribe a pill not for me, and doing dry brushing and manual therapy has helped me so much. I also do the breasts therapy and neck exercises which helps my daily headaches from spinal deformity and degeneration.

    Just had brain surgery and as everything is draining from the site I started to feel a lot of pain in my face and neck from the drainage not having a place to go - im a cancer exercise specialist so it’s a little ironic, but I am finding these movements helpful even just a few days post operation - being careful obviously! Thank you

    Hello Kelly,
    How to check the actual size of swollen lymph node that is below ear (may be posterior cervical)?
    My 13 yr old son got this 2 weeks back.
    Do we have to check putting head looking straight or by looking side ways?

    How do I find more information on this or who should I go see? I had cancer as a child and received radiation to the neck and had a few lymph nodes removed. I am having issues with this and would like to see someone but not sure who.

    I sometimes use a hot water bottle against my neck and side of face for relief but have subsequently read this might be counterproductive.What is your view ? Many thanks again.

      @helloworldyo4516 2 роки тому

      @@heartbreak4737 hi
      So you also start noticing your nodes on body , face,neck its fine its not much worrying issue if its not much bigger, just dont eat sour things and you know yoga then do it two yoga asanas daily
      Kapal bhati
      Anulom vilom
      Search it on youtube and do it minimum 20 days regularly 15-15 minute each and drink alovera juice daily and make your immune system strong
      Am sure you will definitely get benefits .
      In my case due to yoga their size reduces to very small and even i got fever sometime they dont hurt anymore just because of yoga .
      You dont have to spend any money home remedy is yoga and medicinal juice like alovera and tea of holy basil
