Exercise Warmup for those with a Lymphedema Diagnosis

Exercise Warmup for those 

with a Lymphedema Diagnosis

by Kathleen Lisson

As a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, I was excited to read an article on lymphedema in the ACE personal trainer magazine! Exercise is a great way to control lymphedema, but many personal trainers don't know enough about the condition to help their clients confidently. I mention some of the warmup exercises author Daniel J. Green recommends in the article 'LYMPHEDEMA: HELP YOUR CLIENTS MANAGE THIS COMMON SIDE EFFECT OF CANCER TREATMENTS' on my podcast.
