Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping is an effective way to move pocketed lymph and often can be used as an adjuvent in lymphedema management.
The Kinesio Taping® Method is a definitive rehabilitative taping technique that is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion as well as providing extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy administered within the clinical setting.
Postural Retraining
Posture is first assessed and then with remedial breathing techniques, exercises and kinesio taping, adequate posture and breathing is addressed. A number of breast cancer patients find tremendous relief from postural retraining.
Pneumatic Pump Referrals
A pneumatic pump — also called an intermittent pneumatic compression pump, is a machine that has an inflatable sleeve or vest-like garment attached to it, with multiple chambers that inflate one after the other to stimulate the flow of lymph in the right direction.
