In the United States, approximately one in four women diagnosed with breast cancer will develop secondary arm lymphedema after axillary dissection. These patients experience significant functional limb impairment, psychological morbidity and a reduction on their perceived quality of life [1]. The efficacy of pharmaceutical interventions for lymph edema is uncertain; therefore, most therapies prescribed are non-pharmaceutical [2].While the mechanisms are poorly understood, decongestive physiotherapy (consisting of skin care, manual lymph drainage, lymphatic/pneumatic pumps, exercise and compression wrapping) is effective for the treatment of lymphedema [2]. In support, passive limb movement, [3] exercise, [4-5] and manual lymph pumping [6-7] have been shown to enhance lymphatic flow in animals.
