From the Perspective of a Patient: Exercises in the Swimming Pool, Daily Diet
摘要
An essential part of therapy is maintaining the mobility and flexibility of the limbs altered by the oedema. Especially with arm lymphedema, shoulder mobility is often restricted. The world-renowned English photographer Gemma Levine is herself a lymphedema patient after breast cancer and relies on her physical mobility. She has developed and published exercises that can be performed in the pool. Therefore, the patient’s dietary advice is also practical for everyday use and is quoted in this chapter.
