Participant Review
I am so glad I invested the time into Dorit’s webinar. Thank you Jean for finding her for us all! As a swimmer, all the lymphedema specialist always reiterated how good swimming would be for my arm lymphedema. However, the mile or so I swam weekly did nothing! Dorit’s informed and interesting talk made me understand that I was doing the wrong swimming stroke! A simple and easy fix! She also has a series of water exercises that help increase lymphatic flow. She had great downloads and links too. I wish there were more aqua therapists available because it’s a fabulous way to keep fit as well as have another tool to manage my lymphedema. Charlotte, D.
