Luna Lymphatic Care

Kidney transplant patients can sometimes experience chronic swelling in the legs. While it isn’t always classic lymphedema, the support can look similar—gentle compression to help manage fluid, manual lymphatic drainage to encourage movement, and muscle-pumping exercises to promote circulation.

Quick breakdown: Short-stretch bandages = highly effective for volume decrease, but more time/technique. Velcro wraps = more tolerable and user-friendly, with convenient adjustability. The best choice depends on your skin, swelling pattern, and lifestyle—consult with a certified lymphedema therapist to help you in choosing what will work best for you.

Healing is a journey, and your scar deserves gentle, effective care 💛 Silicone-based scar tape is a go-to for many people because it’s designed to support improved scar appearance. Begin using it only after your scabs are gone, and keep it on for up to 12 hours daily for several months as recommended by your care team.

Shoulder stiffness after breast surgery is common—but living with it shouldn’t be. If your range of motion feels limited or movements are painful, it may be time to connect with a physical therapist experienced treating with the cancer community. Let’s get you back to feeling like yourself.

Gentle is the goal 💛 If you’re receiving manual lymphatic drainage for wellness, the techniques should feel light, calming, and never forced. A true MLD session focuses on delicate skin contact and rhythmic pressure to encourage lymph flow. If you’re seeing heavy pressure, rollers, or suction cups, ask questions—your body should feel supported, not stressed. 💆‍♀️

Your results come from consistency. Compression garments after surgery for lipedema help support lymph flow and reduce swelling—but only when every component is worn correctly. If the knee isn’t compressed, you may notice fullness and increased tissue hardness known as fibrosis over time. Keep it consistent, reach out if you have questions, and trust the process

Extra body weight can add pressure to the lymphatic system, making it harder for fluid to move smoothly—so swelling can start happening, especially in the legs. 💛✨ It is important to try for an optimal body weight to assist the lymphatic system in doing its job as efficiently as possible.

Legs don’t just swell because of “too much salt” — it’s often about how long you sit without moving. When your leg muscles aren’t pumping, gravity pulls fluid back down into your legs and feet. ✅ Fix: get up and move! 🚶‍♀️ Pump those muscles with a quick walk to help keep fluid moving

Being pregnant and giving birth is incredible—and swelling afterward can happen even when everything goes just right. 🌿✨ While it’s temporary, it can feel uncomfortable and limit how you move. Lymphatic drainage massage helps to support the body’s natural recovery so you feel better sooner.

Think of lymphatic fluid like water in a sponge—not water in a balloon. It doesn’t “collect in one place” you can simply pull out with a needle. Our job is to gently encourage movement through the body’s natural pathways so your lymphatic system can work more efficiently.
