Purchase options and add-ons

Lymphedema isn’t just ‘too much fluid in the wrong place.’ Chronic lymphedema can cause both physical effects in the tissue and psychological stress, and both can worsen as lymphedema progresses. Stress Reduction for Lymphedema takes a look at published research on mind-body practices that may reduce the negative effects of stress in people with lymphedema, with step-by-step instructions so you can try many of the practices yourself or with a caregiver or loved one.

Stress reduction activities include:

Breathwork protocols recommended for people with lymphedema
Mindfulness exercises from a lymphedema program in India
Holistic practices including acupuncture for people with lymphedema and a progressive muscle relaxation routine that may improve the effects of decongestive therapy
Movement-based activities like qi gong and taiso for upper limb lymphedema and yoga for upper and lower limb lymphedema

This book is a must-read for people with lymphedema looking for evidence-based approaches to reduce the symptoms of stress.

"Throughout these pages, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery, gaining a deeper understanding of how stress influences lymphedema" - Veronica Poncio Seneriz

"With a focus on the promotion of positive healthful behaviors, readers will find support and solidarity with Lisson’s optimistic, hands-on approach to relieving everyday stress associated with lymphedema. An inspirational, accessible handbook emphasizing self-compassion and effective stress reduction." - Kirkus Reviews

A common problem living with lymphedema is feeling alone, not being seen and not having access to the treatment you need. Combined that with chronic pain, and dealing with your limb(s) being swollen and disfigured, it can be very stressful. Don’t forget that stress causes the lymphedema to get worse, and the cycle continues.This book is thoughtfully written with the patient in mind showing a way to break the endless cycle.I would recommend it to anyone that has or knows someone living with lymphedema. It’s also perfect for therapist that really want to help their patients.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource!
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2024
"Stress Reduction for Lymphedema" is an outstanding resource. Its readability and practical stress reduction techniques are easy to incorporate for individuals managing lymphedema and anyone seeking stress management strategies. I've even added an extra copy to my client library. This book is not only beneficial for those directly dealing with lymphedema but also for practitioners assisting clients whose conditions are exacerbated by stress. It's a must-have for anyone looking to manage stress effectively.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and accessible
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023
Kathleen has gathered a comprehensive toolbox of holistic approaches for managing stress, geared towards people with living with lymphedema, but actually very useful for anyone. Lymphedema therapists, family and allies will all benefit from the smorgasbord of stress reduction techniques. The book is very well organized in sections and flows well. Though I chose to read it cover to cover, one could literally open the book anywhere and find ways to be transported to a calmer place.
