However, research has investigated the safety of exercise and impact on lymphedema outcomes.  Additionally, exercise is a component of complete decongestive therapy, the standard of care for management of lymphedema.  This NLN MicroConference will cover exercise recommendations including frequency, intensity, and mode of exercise for individuals with or at risk for lymphedema.   A focus will be to provide the best available evidence for prescribing exercise for general health benefits and lymphedema management.  Research and recommendations for exercise to reduce the risk of lymphedema will be discussed.  Cases studies will be presented to illustrate concepts.   Clinician & Organization Level NLN Members - Free Non-Members $99 Register Here 2024 NLN Sponsors Copyright © 2024 National Lymphedema Network, All rights reserved.
