Apply Kinesiology Tape for Hand Swelling Cancer Rehab PT 2025-09-04 | When kinesiology tape is applied to an area that is swollen, the lifting motion of the tape creates a space between the top layer of skin and the underlying tissues. This space creates changes in the pressure gradient, and because of this, the fluid moves into the lymphatic vessels and moves out of this congested area, reducing the swelling. Itโs gentle on the skin, but itโs always essential to do a skin test first to ensure you donโt have an allergic reaction to the adhesives. In my professional opinion, kinesiology tape does NOT replace the benefits that a good compression garment or glove gives to manage lymphedema. But sometimes those who try gloves have issues with a tourniquet at the wrist or their daily tasks or job is limited by wearing one. So this tape can be an excellent tool for someone to help decrease swelling and pain in many circumstances.For a FULL video tutorial on how to apply this, check out the video on my Youtube Channel.Video: youtu.be/o8G_V4WJ6Msand Yes! there are videos on my channel for how to apply Kinesiology tape for many other parts of the body.**disclaimer: please speak with your doctor or CLT regarding any medical concerns, as this is not personalized treatment, but rather general education

Get Rid of a Seroma after Surgery Cancer Rehab PT 2025-05-01 | A Seroma is a pocket of clear fluid that sits and pools right under the skin, appearing like a lump swelling. A seroma is caused by the buildup of excess fluid in the body after surgery or an injury, where it forms this pocket of swelling. Often, I see them after surgery for breast cancer, abdominal wall surgeries, and even liposuction. Tissue has generally been removed and moved to leave a dead space or empty cavity in the area. The space can fill with fluid and create a pocket or lump that becomes firm because itโs full. This usually happens soon after surgery or a couple of weeks later. Seromas that are small or simple can be treated in therapy with a proper compression bra, like @prairiewear 's HuggerPRIMA. I also often combine this bra with a compression swell spot insert inside for gentle support.If a seroma is more complex or keeps coming back, then talking to the surgeon for next steps may be necessary.๐ Looking for more help? Check out a video I have on seromas on my Youtube Channel. youtu.be/vGq_YWItbZ8or Check out the Breast Cancer Rehab program : cancerrehabpt.com/breast-cancer-rehab**disclaimer: please speak with your doctor or oncology team regarding any medical concerns, as this is not personalized treatment, but rather general education

Morning Lymphatic Drainage Exercises Cancer Rehab PT 2025-04-17 | We talk a lot about lymphedema treatment here, but letโs take a moment and explain why keeping the lymphatic system as healthy as possible is so important.Your lymphatic system is an essential part of your immune system and helps protect the body from disease and infection.๐ฆ Lymph nodes are small, round structures located in groups throughout the body, mainly in the groin, armpit, neck, and abdomen. They act as filters that clean for viruses, bacteria, cancer cells, and more.๐งซThe Lymphatic vessels run throughout your body and direct lymph fluid towards the lymph nodes.When lymph nodes are removed during surgery, damaged through radiation therapy, or genetically someone has a dysfunction of the lymphatic system, then the body may have a hard time draining lymph fluid, which can result in lymphedema.Keeping your lymphatic system healthy allows it to fight off and filter bacteria, diseases, and viruses.You can support your lymphatic health through daily, morning exercises like:๐น Ballerina Stretches๐น Neck Circles๐น Lymph node Circles๐น Exercising and Moving (like Marching!)๐น Breathingand repeat daily!Try these now and ๐ฉ Save for LaterAre you looking for more?

Kinesiology Tape for Breast or Chest Swelling Cancer Rehab PT 2025-04-03 | When kinesiology tape is applied to an area that is swollen, the lifting motion of the tape creates a space between the top layer of skin and the underlying tissues. This space creates changes in the pressure gradient, and because of this, the fluid moves into the lymphatic vessels and moves out of this congested area, reducing the swelling. Itโs gentle on the skin, but itโs always essential to do a skin test first to ensure you donโt have an allergic reaction to the adhesives. In my professional opinion, kinesiology tape does NOT replace the benefits that a good compression garment or compression bra gives to manage lymphedema. Still, it can be an excellent tool for someone to help decrease swelling and pain in many circumstances.For a FULL video tutorial on how to apply this, check out the video on my Youtube Channel.youtu.be/eGKrK0ABjzwand Yes! there are videos on my channel for how to apply Kinesiology tape for many other parts of the body.**disclamier: please speak with your doctor or CLT regarding any medical concerns, as this is not personalized treatment, but rather general education
