I find manual lymphatic drainage massage incredibly helpful, but unfortunately I can’t afford to have it done very often.

I’m looking for at home alternatives so any recommendations, suggestions or ideas would be very much appreciated. Thank you

My go-to method for lymphatic drainage is a mini trampoline I bought at a yard sale for 10.00. Unfortunately it does not have a grab bar but I am still able to utilize it on my non-dizzy days. On my dizzy days, I just sit on it and bounce gently for 5- 10 minutes.

I have it set up in my living room so it is available whenever I walk by it. Here are a few examples (I am not affiliated with any companies)

Agree with the rebounder. I have one. It too does not have a grab bar. But I hope to find one on Amazon that will fit it. I follow Earth & Owl rebounding on youtube. She does workouts for the elderly. Since I am one and have been for decades from Lyme, I figured it would be a safe place to start. It is suggested to first just start with a health bounce. Believe it or not, it does move lymph fluid!

I also bought a Vibration plate. Lifepro is the brand I purchased on FB market place. I am still not using it daily. It is something you want to start with just a couple of minutes and titrate your time up from there.

I used to get lymph massages when I lived in Arizona. She went to $85 and it took it out of my price range. Can't imagine what the cost is now. Sad, because it did help.

I hope you find an alternative that is helpful!
