|| Lymphoedema Awareness Week || Move it to move it! 💙 Did you know that your lymphatic system relies on movement to do its job? Unlike blood, which has the heart to pump it around, lymph fluid needs muscle movement to keep flowing. That’s why daily activity is so important for managing lymphoedema! Gentle exercises like walking, swimming, yoga, and even deep breathing can help encourage lymphatic flow and reduce swelling. The key? Find movement that feels good for your body and make it a daily habit! What’s your favourite way to stay active? Share your go-to movement tips in the comments! ⬇ #LymphoedemaAwarenessWeek #KeepMoving #LymphoedemaCare #LAW25
