The Lymphatic System Under Stress: Safe Support for Complex Wellness Clients

Session details:

This evidence-informed session explores lymphatic health and swelling conditions commonly encountered in cancer care, with a clear, practical comparison of lymphedema and lipedema—including how they differ in cause, presentation, progression, and support considerations.

Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how cancer treatments can impact the lymphatic system, how to recognize early warning signs, and how to support lymphatic wellness through gentle movement, breathing techniques, skin care, and lifestyle awareness, all within appropriate professional scope.

The session includes a camera-supported, look-and-learn reflexology demonstration focused on relaxation and circulation, thoughtfully framed with clear safety boundaries for oncology and medically complex populations.

Designed for spa and wellness professionals, this class builds confidence in working with clients affected by cancer and swelling conditions—helping you support comfort, circulation, and wellbeing while remaining aligned with current medical guidance.
