Look at God! I was presented with this Proclamation bringing attention to National Lymphedema Awareness Month. I would like to thank the City of Birmingham and Mayor Woodfin for recognizing the need for Awareness of the chronic condition

People, please listen to me. As a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, incisional drainage is not a massage Therapist's Scope of practice. Manual Lymph Drainage is not opening up incisions and squeezing fluid out after surgery. Incisional drainage should only be done by a Dr or a Physician assistant. The purpose of using incisional drainage is only if there is an infection within the body which would require additional treatment. When incisional drainage is used after surgery you are putting yourself at risk of infection, fibrosis, and adding additional trauma to the body. ????

Last month was Lymphedema Awareness month. As a Certified Lymphatic Therapist, I discovered many people have never heard of the term yet millions of people suffer from it. What people don't know is there are more people who suffer from lymphedema and lymphatic diseases than people who suffer from Multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, ALS, Parkinson's, and Aids combined. Lymphedema is the build-up of fluid in soft body tissues when the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked due to surgery or trauma of the lymphatic system. The condition prevents fluid from leaving areas usually seen in the arms or legs and results in extreme swelling. Treatment for the condition should be performed by a Certified Lymphatic Therapist. The treatment applied is Manual Lymph Drainage or Complete Decongestive Therapy. , , ,

It's amazing how people would rather follow misinformation than the truth about post operative care. Here it is not our scope of practice. anyone doing this is not in compliance.
