Hello all! An updated version of this sequence was created here if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/R3peAHqxjQ8/v-deo.html Thanks for being here and watching!
Can we it twice daily
I don't have cancer but I always wake up with a VERY puffy face and when I rub my face I can feel it drain in my throat. This was awesome and so much better than the beauty influencers doing lymph drainage tutorials with no background or education so I'm so glad I found a medical professional that actually knows what she's doing!
😮 don't have cancer but found this very helpful! Had a lump under my jaw for ages and didn't know what to do with it.. followed you're instructions and now it is gone!
how r u did your swollen lymph node get back to normal size
How long you did it and how often?
🤨 make sure you see a doctor for such things as well though.
@@lolo7loom322 also see your doctor for suspicious lumps.
I have this problem now. My blood work is normal though. Hopefully, this will help.
My ears felt clogged. Hearing muffled. This helped a lot. Thank you.
I was having a constant headache, thought it was an allergy migraine, but doing this really helped relieve it, thank you! I feel very relaxed now
I am 2 weeks post covid and suffering from fatigue, depression etc. I was told to do this type of massage to help the brain drain the junk from the infection using the lymphatic system. Thank you for a thorough demonstration. Fingers crossed it clears it up! PS I am also a breast cancer survivor so had some amazing PT's who specialized in this after my surgery. You have a nice calming energy. Thank you for your service.
You got this my friend. Y our gonna feel grrrrreat , your a survivors!! 🤍 🙏 🤗
Heyy just wanted to check, did this massage help with relieving your covid symptoms?
One of the best lymph videos I have seen. Thank you!
I'm so glad to be here. Thank you.
This was excellent! Thank you so much....I will check your other videos out. God Bless!
Thank you so very very much! This video was so helpful to me. You explained and demonstrated perfectly 😊
Great video, very detailed. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you.....this is just what I needed.
I cannot thank you enough!! I had a bad case of influenza this past week. My glands under my neck swelled to enormous size. I'm talking like two lemons under my neck. I was freaking out but the doctor said that sometimes this happens with a virus and to look up lymphatic massage. I did this last night and the KT tape in your other video and by morning it was decreased by half. I left the tape on and did this video again and it went down another half. Thank you so much for this!!
Wow! This made such a difference in my facial bruising from an accident 4 weeks ago. My face is still discolored but it has progressed much faster! Thank you!!!
You are truly doing a great public service for those of us going through a rough time in our lives.
Thank you this is my go to! Always helps morning swelling and changes course of my day for the better! ❤
This was really helpful. I have lymph edema under my chin from jaw resection surgery. This helped a lot. Thank you!
thank you very much, learning curve is at hand
This is a wonderful video and your way of teaching is calming and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world
Thank you so much for your videos and help. I particularly love this video. It's very soothing and easy to follow. I appreciate your pace and the simplicity of the background settings. It's easy to focus on what to do without being distracted. Much appreciated! My therapist recommended this to me, and I have also shared it with others because it's so helpful. Thank you!
thank you! I have found a great deal of relief after working through your program
Thank you! I think this video was really, really helpful!
Thank you very much I am doing this exercise every morning it is great
Thanks so much for posting this video. I had radiation only but have serious fibrosis and lymphedema and this is really helping.
I recently underwent head and neck radiation and chemotherapy. This is very helpful. Thank you very much.
if I may ask, what type of cancer are you recovering from? What were your warning signs?
This was very helpful and informative! Thank you
Just what the Doctor ordered! Thank you. Excellent tutorial video! Peace - a believer!
Very intersting and useful! Thanks a lot!
I had a facelift necklift a month ago. Having problems with my neck ! This has really helped ! Thank you
This was amazing and relieved a lot of tension I had built up! Thank you
You are beautiful. I love the lighting, music everything about this is so calming.
Your video was recommended to me by my surgeon. My cheeks and neck are swollen from surgery. I followed along with you and plan to do so every day. Thanks so much.
This is excellent thank you I will use this with my Reflexology clients for Lymphatic drainage
I kinda been doing some of these motions. Now I know abit more and especially at my armpits and the best time to do this. Thank You.
Wow, thank you so much! I have leukemia, and my neck is covered in huge painful nodes,..can't even take pics with my family at this point, as they look terrible :( working on this massage in hopes I can have pics made for Christmas with my family instead of avoiding that special time, may the Lord bless you for making this vid.
Please look look at Dr Morse. My ra went into remission. He's cured people of cancer and tumors, multiple things naturally. Prayers for you 🙏🏼
Thanks a lot for your education. It really helps me a lot. You are awesome. ❤God bless you.
Excellent demonstration! Thank you
you're so welcome!
Thank you so much! I liked doing massage with an instruction video. Somehow it makes it feel better and more effective!
Thanks for doing this... really helpful
THANK YOU!!! I haven’t been able to function for 2 weeks and I’ve been crying myself to sleep! You just saved me!
You are the best ever! The fall of last year, the Lord spoke to me to go to a certain hill not far from my home and go up it! I asked my daughter to go with me as I had no idea why He asked me to do this. Half way up, I began to hurt very bad, and then the pain went across the tops of both my shoulders
My daughter wanted to call an ambulances and I told her no that I would do what the Lord ask me to do. I had to stop 3 times but made it to the top. After 3 different times of doing this I realized my lymphatic system was what was clearing. I love the the way you just taught! I found out the hard way how important this exercise was. Thank you so much 💓
I was having a headache a while ago and came across this video. I have lymphadenopathy on my left neck area. I have tried this and it's a miracle ❤😮🙏 wow! It's really helpful! Thank you sooo much!
Wow! Great video especially the concept of doing inside the mouth! I just watched a presentation on stem cells in aging. What’s fascinating is that the science shows that we’re not losing stem cells with age, it’s the lymphatic system that is degrading and according to these research scientists, the lymphatic system is critical for stem cell activation. Thanks to you…I have a better understanding on how to tune up my lymphatic system.
Thank you for sharing this..... I have a chest infection and I'm on antibiotics..... but my lymph node on my left jawline is really swollen. I also have hypothyroidism....This has helped so thank you. 👍
Really helpful, thank you.
Thank you with your knowledge.
Holy cow, thank you! So helpful! I had my fibula put into my jaw after hemimandibulectomy last August then radiation that finished in January, and the swelling is still an issue - it got worse (my oncologist said it can come in two waves). This was very helpful, and your work is so very appreciated. Thank you.❤🌻
Thank you for this information
THANK YOU! I just got over covid and all of a sudden I have painful and swollen lymph nodes on my jaw under the right ear and it got to the point where I couldn't chew. I followed along and feel much better. :)
Thank you! Wow I'm so glad I found your channel, I just started doing this... I've been in agony I am sure this will help...
Excellent information and demo, thank you so much
Thank you🙋🙏💓💕❣️
Thank You lovely lady... it was amazing! XXX
Thank you, God bless you xxx
Thank you. I had Radiation on the left side of my neck. I will try all your steps and I am sure they will help
Huge thanks, to you for helping my lymphedema after mouth radiotherapy.
Sending you my best! I have mouth exercises coming very soon for after surgery/radiation, if interested 🙂
@@CancerRehabPT I will keep a eye out for it.
Thanks so much!!
all I have to say is GOD BLESS YOU😇😭 I was sick and had terrible swollen lymph nodes and sinus congestion and this felt so good and helped so much
THis is an excellent video, which I have found extremely helpful.
I’m so happy to hear that!
I had total thyroidectomy 5 yrs back. After surgeey I m having survical lymp node problem. This video is very much helpful for me. Thanks
Really helpful to recover after the chin lipo surgery 👍👍👍🙏
I had a sore throat that was getting worse with a swollen throat. I tried this before bed. Apart from getting up to going to the toilet 4 times throughout the night, I slept wonderfully, and in the morning my throat was almost back to normal. So have just done it again and feel great. Just to add that I did do a salt gargle both last night and this morning. But I would attribute this technique to the major part of the healing. So many thanks.
Thanks!
Excellent! Thank you very much!
You're so welcome!
The neck and upper pec I was surprised your going down, I learned upwards.

I don't have cancer but I have a lot of lymph issues and haven't been able to visit my MLD therapist, I always have a swollen neck, I tried this afternoon as my neck's bad and my face looks thinner so I must have shifted something! Thank you, this is different from how I've done self drainage before but I'll definitely be watching more of your videos
Thanks a lot! Trust this will always be useful for people not for cancer-rehab?
so helpful thanks!
I found this very helpful for my vertigo. The whole time I could feel drainage coming down my throat. Thank you!
You are amazing, Can't thank you enough for you. You are so wonderful to share your knowledge, Have had a problem for 3 years with my ears filling up. I feel so much better after doing this program,
how r u did your swollen lymph node get back to normal size
I had a non-cancerous tumor removed from my parotid gland, along with several lymph nodes, and I’ve had pain and discomfort since. I found this video very helpful, and plan to start right away! In all my follow-ups and PT, no one has suggested this massage. 😮
This video is a God send! Post surgery 9 months (removed a neck mass and 2 lymph nodes - all benign) but swelling and what felt like another “lump” recently surfaced. Afraid to go back to surgeon, happened upon your video and it is working. The fluid is draining and swelling disappears after massage. Thank you!
I like your comment because I have swelling on the front neck , and until now, benign nodules under arm.
@@miriamibarguengoitia4167 I also use the Gua-sha stone on face and neck (after applying face oil oil so it glides smoothly) and it is incredible to feel the lymph drainage. I had no idea how helpful these tools would be. Wishing you good health, and happiness.
@@Jbech444 Thanks! The same to you! Where can I buy the Guasha stone and how to get information about its use? Thanks so much!
@@miriamibarguengoitia4167 I chose an Amazon green “jade” stone, UA-cam videos and my dermatologist.
Thank you!!
Two weeks ago I had neck surgery (thyroidectomy and radical neck dissection to treat and hopefully cure medullary thyroid cancer). They took out 61 cervical and lateral lymph nodes from my central compartment. My ENT doctor wrote an order this past week for lymphodema treatments and I am now waiting for the Physical Therapy department at my hospital (I work there as an ICU Nurse) to call me to schedule the first appointment. As uncomfortable as I am though due to the edema in my neck, I decided to take matters into my own hands (literally) and I found your video. THANK YOU!!!
Of course I will follow through with the PT appointments and make sure the PT is a Certified Lymphedema Therapist. But in the meantime, 20 minutes spent watching your video and following your instructions has led to significant relief of discomfort and pain. I'll be doing the exercises every morning and look forward to in-person sessions with a Certified Lymphedema Therapist to hone and fine-tune my ability to perform the massage technique (and enjoy the benefits of having the massage performed by a professional several times a week).
Again, thank you!
Thank you very much. This channel has helped me so much. May Jehovah God bless you.
thanks, it is really very helpfull
Greetings, dealing with lymphedema in my neck/throat. Thanks for the comprehensive video. Have you done anything with compression gear use and benefits? Also, any preferred vendors.
Thank you
ALSO USEFUL IN SWELLING IN SUBMANDIBULAR REGION , MA'AM. NICE VIDEO.
This is great, thank you! I was curious and don't know if I missed if it was mentioned.. if a certain area is compromised, are there any adjustments that should be made? Either spending more time in that area or avoiding that area? Like should I avoid draining from the head to the neck on the side that is compromised, or maybe try to move it all to the side that is not? I had a lymph node removed from the right side of my neck about a year ago.
Thanks much for this. Every morning? And how often should one do the brushing and the general lymph drainage? thanks
Hello
I have been struggling with "migraines" and tinnitus (both pulsating and high pitched) for over 18 months. I strongly suspect chronic intracranial pressure/Hypertension but it hasnt been diagnosed. I found another video which suggested lymphatic drainage exercises, and then found this.
Alongside another video for eustacian tube dysfunction exercises, the 2 combined have done something! My left ear feels strange, the pulsating tinnitus is almost gone and for the first time in ages, my head feels "lighter". Thankyou so much.
I get more out of videos on UA-cam than the medical professions that are supposed to help.
Can you please share the eustacian tube exercises you've used?
Hello! Do you have any recommendations about infection swelling in parotid gland?
I have strep throat right now and this helped me tons with the drainage of my lymph nodes. I highly recommend.
Ditto. I come back to you every time, Kelly. Thank you!!!
Suggestion for video: I would love to have a tutorial that focused specifically on the glymphatic system. The head/neck video is helpful of course and probably includes most of what you would include for the glymphatic system - but there could be some additional movements that would be more specific. thanks!
I found this video very informational. Almost 3 years ago, I had a right parotidectomy, right selective neck dissection. Is this video what I should be doing or can you recommend another method.
WOW! Just one viewing/participating while you clearly explain and demonstrate "how to" reduced swelling in a gland in my neck just beneath my jaw. Thank you!
how r u did your swollen lymph node get back to normal size
Did it go down completely
@@nimmo1 any update
How often should i do this btw? Thanls for the answer😊💕
This was great! Just had a cancer removed from my tongue and some lymph nodes removed. My jaw area is swollen and tight. This video really seems to have eased it. Thank you.
did cancer goo away
@Ocean Life Dreams - I am so sorry for what you went through. Did you also have head/neck radiation? That is even worse to endure. I hope your treatments were very successful.
I know this is an old video. I had a tender knot under my jaw and I did these exercises and can immediately feel the reduction. Thank you.
I have the same is it in middle ? I don't know if it's a muscle or lymph.node
Logical. Logical works for me.
Thank you I need to find some soft gloves or something, my hands are too rough for my face and neck. But very helpful video and somewhat mesmerizing too.
Testimony: I don’t have cancer 🙏 BUT my lump nodes swell up after my second Covid19 shot
Only on my left side the Pfizer vaccine was administer your video help me help get back to normal. Thank you so much for making this video.👏
My lymph node swell too when I took the covid vaccine and one is getting bigger. I went to the doctor and he said there is nothing to worry about. I will try to follow this exercise and see if this will help me get my lymph node go back to normal.
Wow! Same thing happened to me. After 2nd covid vaccine. It is still sitting there 😢
Same here omg… my ear felt uncomfortable from time to time and there’s a swollen lymph node and really big lymph node under my chin since pfizer 😢
Good information thanks
Radiation pain kitne din rhega.
8yrs ago I had all my lymph nodes removed under left arm. I never had PT, although now I can lift that arm up above my head. Which video do you suggest to get my tire lymphatic system to drain.?
Just had COVID-19 and this is great for recovery!
I’m happy to hear it was helpful! Because you and others kept sharing this info with me, I made a special video for it this week! Thanks for sharing this tip! ua-cam.com/video/_4yvyWkFQiA/v-deo.html
@Cancer Rehab PT - WOW!!! Knowledge is power! Will try this everyday! I do not have cancer but have lympnodes that are overloaded in back of neck and base - this is amazing! Thank you so much!
I hope you find it helpful! 😊
What tests were done to check that it was non cancerous?
I had throat cancer and was treated with proton therapy - as far as I know, I still don’t have any cancer , but I had to take some antibiotics (Bactrim and Levoflaxcin) that caused lymphedema to occur in my neck, under my jaw and chin. I really appreciate your video in demonstrating the therapy. I’ll try to use it daily. Naturally, a CT scan has been ordered to be on the safe side. The good thing is I don’t have any of the cancer symptoms and one of the drs told me it looked like lymphedema. Either way, wish me luck and thank you for your time in demonstrating this therapy!!

Any update
So I did 8 weeks of radiation and it left me a mess. I look like I have a huge double chin, but it's all fluids. This massage is most helpful. Thank you for sharing.❤️💕
Me too. I want to hide. It improved temporarily with HBO but now it's back full force. :(
So helpful. The space under my eyes is so puffed out.
Wish I could find and watch you a year ago. Had thyroidectomy due to cancer in Jan 2022. . The surgery went ok but no proper post operation care followed up. Been treated with depression and lately nerve pain. Only a couple of weeks ago I realised it could be lymphoedema- both my face and my throat are asymmetrical and my left inner cheek swelling continues to enlarge, and I have not been sleep one night through since the operation. I think I have to save myself rather than replying on and trusting those so called specialists. I am from Queensland Australia :(
