Has anyone heard about the value of rebounding, bouncing on a exercise trampoline? It seems to make sense since your lymphatic fluid also carries dead cells, metabolic waste, and toxins away from healthy tissue to be eliminated through sweat, mucus, urine, and liver bile.
My husband has had a lot of trouble with swelling in the morning, so bad lately that some mornings his neck just isn't the turkey neck but he looks like the hulk!! In July when it became much worse he developed sleep apnea almost overnight which I think is from the lymphedemia. Now wearing the CPAP mask tends to make the swelling worse so it is a vicious cycle.
You have about three times more lymphatic fluid than blood, but here�s the catch, there�s no pump! Muscle contractions in your body encourage the lymphatic fluid to circulate through a series of one-way valves in your body. So the more you move your body, the more you move your lymphatic fluid.
So, it just makes sense that this might work to get the fluid moving so guess who just bought another exercise item to add to our collection.
Wondering if anyone has heard about this or tried it.
