After bilateral mastectomy with many lymph nodes removed, I developed lymphedema a few months after surgery. I wish I had this DVD then because it takes you thru a routine of very effective moves to get the lymph system moving. It took me a very long time to find a lymphedema therapist because they are few and far between. I might have been able to skip that mad search, only to get a therapist who was just awful, and didn’t teach me proper self-massage. Then, had to hunt for yet another therapist. This program works, but you have to be willing to pop the DVD into the player and actually do it to the best of your ability on a regular basis!

Slow paced arm workout for breast cancer/lymph node surgery survivors. Relieves pain and tightness through exercise. Those confined to a chair would also find the workout out useful.

As a certified lymphedema therapist, I was interested in learning more about the Lebed method, and have already started incorporating these moves into the exercise programs I give my patients. After seeing this DVD, I am thinking about getting certified in Lebed method. I would highly recommend this DVD to people with upper or lower extremity lymphedema, and those treated for breast cancer who are at risk for developing lymphedema. The exercises are slow, safe, and effective and the instructor has a positive, upbeat attitude that it makes it fun. Also includes instruction on diaphragmatic breathing to stimulate lymphatic duct, and the importance of wearing compression while exercising. I hope to see this DVD become a series!
