Join Amanda and Berfin, oncology physical therapists and certified lymphedema therapists, for a workshop on how to properly perform self lymphatic drainage massage. Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is an important component in the prevention and treatment of lymphedema, a chronic swelling condition that may develop following cancer treatments.

In this hands-on and interactive workshop, learn the correct lymphatic massage techniques for your specific needs and concerns. All attendees will receive a printed hand-out, as well as access to a detailed video on how to perform lymphatic massage for your review at home! The 45-minute workshop will be followed by a 15-minute Q&A all about the lymphatic system and lymphedema. If you can’t make the workshop, don’t hesitate to visit Amanda and Berfin at the Well Beyond Breast Cancer booth at Breastie Boulevard to ask her any of your questions about cancer recovery and lymphedema.
