Lymphoedema
Lymphoedema is swelling that happens when the body's lymphatic system isn't moving fluid properly. This causes fluid to build up of the tissues, most often in the arms and legs.
​
It can feel like heaviness, tightness or puffiness and many come and go or be ongoing. While there's no cure for lymphoedema, it can be managed well with the right care of gentle lymphatic drainage massage, movement, compression and good skin care.
