Instructional videos are available for lymphedema patients interested in taking over the responsibility of their ongoing maintenance. For many it is the roadmap to regaining their independence and getting on with their life.
The first 2 videos are taught by therapists trained in the Casley-Smith technique. The strokes are easy for both the patient and their care-givers. The discussions on anatomy and physiology help the patient understand the treatment process and the need for patient participation.
