What are the “rules” for after I’ve finished treatment? How do I find a qualified massage therapist who won’t make things worse? What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy? Is that different from massage? What is the lymphatic and why is it important for me to know about it? Can I work out if I have had cancer surgery or if I have lymphedema? What exercises can I do or not do? Hear answers to all these questions plus join us for a short stretching and breathing session at the end!
