Lymphatic 10-Step Opening | Dana-Farber Zakim Center Remote Programming

Bambi Mathay, LMT, BCTMB, RMT is an oncology massage therapist with the Zakim Center who will demonstrate the 10-Step opening protocol for lymphatic health.

This protocol was created for the Zakim Center's class - fLoW: Group Education & Practice for Lymphedema or Wellness - which is a self-massage and yoga class designed for patients with lymphedema or are at risk for lymphedema, or general lymphatic wellness. This sequence helps open the main lymphatic drainage sites of the body.

Other than pairing the protocol with our yoga class, you can also use the technique on its own, as a preparation for any movement program, or prior to using your lymphatic pump if you do use one.

For safety purposes, please work around areas where a medical device may be located (i.e. ports or pacemakers).

If you are a Dana-Farber patient interested in attending our fLoW virtual program (currently every third Friday of the month, from 3-4pm ET) please sign up for a MyZakim account at the following link and register for the class using our Class Schedule - https://myzakim.dana-farber.org/sign-up
