Managing Lymphedema Workshops
Project Pink'd invites breast cancer survivors to join us for our managing lymphedema workshop. This workshop will be held in partnership with Lori Buckley, Occupational Therapist and Certified Lymphedema Specialist.
The workshop will provide educational tools to manage the disease in addition to other side effects that can result from cancer treatments.
Elements of the workshop include:
- Functions of the Lymphatic System
- Signs & Symptoms of Lymphedema
- Risk Factors & Reduction Strategies for Lymphedema
- Hands-On Instruction of Manual Lymphatic Drainage
- Natural Ways to Stimulate your Lymph Fluid
- Exercises to Improve Functional Range of Motion
- Common Overlooked Side Effects of CA Interventions
Note: This workshop is inclusive to ALL breast cancer survivors. You do not have to have lymphedema to register. It is our hope that this workshop will also provide valuable insight into lymphedema preventative strategies and knowledge on how to improve your functional mobility.
This complimentary program is offered to breast cancer survivors in Nebraska & Western Iowa and is made possible by our many generous donors.
