BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
Swelling, tightness, heaviness or difficulty moving your arm? Let’s talk about why.
Going through breast cancer treatment is already a lot. Swelling, tightness or discomfort can also make everyday life harder, even long after treatment has ended. You deserve support with these changes, and we’re here to help.
Swelling in your arm, breast or chest?
When lymph nodes are removed or damaged during surgery or radiotherapy, your lymphatic system may struggle to move fluid as efficiently as before. Specialised lymphatic drainage can help manage lymphoedema as part of your care plan, supporting fluid movement through the remaining lymphatic pathways.
An arm that feels heavy or tight?
This can be an early sign of lymphoedema, even before swelling becomes visible. Having these changes assessed early helps you get the right care and support.
Feeling pulling or tightness, or struggling to lift your arm?
Surgery and radiotherapy can leave tissues around your chest and underarm feeling stiff and restricted. Gentle stretching can help improve comfort and movement, depending on the cause and your stage of healing.
Your treatment journey is unique. Your care should be too.
At Lymph4You, we take the time to understand your surgical history, your stage of treatment and how your body feels today.
We tailor each session to help manage swelling and support more comfortable movement through lymphatic drainage and gentle mobility work. This can include care during active cancer treatment when medically appropriate and guided by your treating team.
You deserve to feel supported through every stage of your journey. đź©·
