Reflexology is a good treatment for lymphedema

Reflexology is a good treatment to help those suffering from lymphedema (swelling of extremities) after surgery to remove the lymph nodes, as it helps to improve circulation and lymphatic flow, and a reflexologist can work on the reflex points specific to the affected area. In some cases the affected extremity lymphedema can be very painful, reflexology is very gentle and effective and in such cases it is a good complement to the lymphatic drainage massage.

In general, reflexology helps improve circulation and lymph flow, which benefits all systems and organs of the body and helps to achieve deep relaxation and improve breathing and mobility, helping patients relax and deal with the physical side effects of treatment.
