Swelling, Types, Causes and Treatment, with Loraine Lovejoy-Evans

 What an evening-full of learning this was, as Loraine Lovejoy-Evans shared with us a dynamic and informative Power Point presentation on lymphedema, lipoedema, & chronic venous insufficiency. Along with learning the causes and differences in these types of swelling, Loraine taught us some techniques to treat them. Our group also got to practice the "Horse and Thinker" technique to relieve pain in joints all over the body, especially knee pain. Here's a link to Loraine's handout on Manual Lymphatic Drainage, useful for anyone with swollen legs: http://sequimfreeclinic.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/MLD-massage.pdf
Prior to Loraine's words of wisdom, we all shared a healthy summer potluck feast & fellowship.
Many thanks to Loraine for sharing her extensive expertise with us all. What a gift it is to have her in our community!
