“Water Therapy” (walking in a pool with natural water pressure and resistance against lymphedema) and “Urban Rebounding” (mini-trampoline with stabilizer bar and exercise for lymphatic drainage) were the two biggest Physical Therapy exercises discussed today.
Diane Sharr, OT, and Anne Smith, OT, discussed my switching to bariatric and lymphedema clothing to accommodate my increase in lymphedema size. They also strongly recommended I switch laundry detergents to baby soap detergent to decrease harshness and hygienics of the clothing irritating my leg, will also decrease recurrence of cellulitis.
Today was a GREAT visit and discussion. Looking forward to improved physical therapy, monitoring, and care of my leg lymphedema.
