[beatryxa]

can it be used for arthritis fingers, to drain the liquid is accumulating in the articulations?

[MarciJavril]

@beatryxa Edema as found with arthritis ie: inflammation in the joints, is a systemic condition. Certainly, doing overall lymphatic drainage stimulation will have a beneficial effect on all excess fluids. Over time, when the TORSO is cleared, the AXILLARY nodes are flowing & not congested, the arm & hand will become less inflammed. Other considerations that could affect fluid buildup in the fingers are scars, tension, nutrition, and intake of water.

Civic4982 - just a reminder - this is ONLY part 1, describes how to work with scars immediately after surgery. Still to come are parts 2,3 and 4 in the after-care protocol, which include addressing deep adhesions.

Thanks 4 uploading. I hope it works!!

[civic4982]

Plausible but abdominal adhesions are much deeper. Avoiding surface level scar tissue with massage and possibly steroid injections is commonly done however deeper adhesions are useless with this description.

[Pamrose2008]

How many weeks after surgery do you start with the spirals? How often is scar therapy? How many weeks till you progress to skin rolling?

I agree. we need more knowledge given to us. Doctors keep us in the dark or try to!! Keep up the work the good doctors!!! (Javril & Hufnagel)
