In December 2014, a new client came for RLD after hearing about the research. She presented with unilateral secondary lymphoedema of the right arm and hand, uncomfortable swelling under the arm, which had hardened, lost its softness. She wears a full sleeve, inclusive of glove and does the recommended daily exercises.
Limb Volume Circumference Measurements (LVCM) were taken before and after each RLD treatment. The arm is treated like a cylinder,this means that any excess fluid/swelling in the hand, shoulder, under arm, chest wall or around the back is not included in these figures.

The blue line on the graph shows how the swelling reduced during 6 treatments, these were weekly apart from between 2nd & 3rd treatments, due to Christmas etc. when there was a 3 week gap.
Before RLD 1, the swollen arm was 29.9% bigger than the normal arm, and contained 561.68ml
After RLD 6, the swollen arm was 12.8% bigger than the normal arm, and contained 240.40ml
I still get so excited by the results!
Watch this space, I'm seeing her again, same time next week..........
