Hey there, welcome to the NorthStar Physical Therapy podcast!
I am your host, Dr. Shirlea North and I dive into lymphedema, lipedema, and various pelvic health dysfunctions. My goal is to provide to you a better way to understand these conditions so that you empower yourself with knowledge to advocate for yourself. Let NorthStar Physical Therapy guide and navigate you on your journey to optimal health!
Lymphedema Day is celebrated in March, and as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, I want to share with you about the conservative treatments that you can take if you have Lymphedema and/or Lipedema. One of my passions is working with people who are diagnosed or have symptoms in relation to Lymphedma or Lipedema that is why letting you know about the conservative avenues is near and dear to my heart. Note that for both Lymphedema and Lipedema, surgical interventions may be an option, but it is not always the route to choose.
Please listen to this episode so that you can empower yourself and make informed decisions when tackling Lymphedema or Lipedema for yourself or for someone you love!
Let’s discuss:
- Introduction to today’s topic
- What are conservative treatments
- Compression Garments
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage
- Dry Brushing Technique
- Compression Pump
- Hydration and Diet Intake
- How your lifestyle and food choices affect inflammation
- Mobility as a conservative treatment
- Vibration plates as a conservative treatment
- Conclusion
