Breast Cancer Related Lymphoedema (BCRL) Effectively Self-Managed With DEEP OSCILLATION®
Read on LinkedIn Pulse 4th April 2018
"I developed secondary Lymphoedema in my left arm in 2014 following Stage 3 Breast Cancer treatment. I managed it well with MLD massage and a compression sleeve.
Unfortunately, in 2015 I suffered two episodes of severe cellulitis followed by acute bursitis of the left arm, which resulted in:
- Increase in arm oedema
- Severe discomfort of arm
- Restricted mobility of arm
Lynora Kennedy my MLD Therapist successfully used Deep Oscillation therapy on my arm. She informed me of the personal unit I could purchase which was portable and easy to use. I am so pleased that I bought it, as it has been so beneficial to me in the following ways:
- Reduction in Lymphoedema
- No discomfort in arm
- Full use of arm
- Skin soft and supple
I use it daily at home and away!! It’s an essential in my holiday “itinerary” I strongly recommend the DEEP OSCILLATION® for breast cancer related lymphoedema and Julie is always so helpful anytime I contact her."
