Today is World Lymphedema Awareness Day! 🦋 A very special day for the lymphedema community as many of us often feel unseen or misunderstood. Thank you for following our page and assisting us with the on-going task of spreading awareness about lymphedema. 💙

The Alberta Lymphedema Association is a patient-centred, volunteer-run charity which serves to advocate for lymphedema patients, educate&spread awareness about lymphedema, improve access to care for patients, and provide a hub for connection to information and resources.

Here are just a few of the many things we are working on in support of Albertans impacted by lymphedema:

💙 SCHOLARSHIPS - we offer funding for qualified people to become Certified Lymphedema Therapists (CLTs) to improve access to care for lymphedema patients + new scholarships introduced this year for existing CLTs to specialize in areas where there is increased need

💙 EDUCATION - we hold virtual events which are FREE to attend with informative hosts such as researchers, therapists, vendors, and patients

💙 AWARENESS - we have targeted marketing campaigns which serve to spread awareness about lymphedema to the general public, the medical community, patients, and more

💙 TREATMENT - we provide donations through the Calgary Health Foundation to fund the purchase of pre-defined equipment for the provincial health clinics serving lymphedema patients

💙 RESOURCES - we provide informational brochures, log books, and other resources to patients and therapist members of our association on request

💙 ANSWERS - our programs and outreach coordinator works tirelessly alongside our Board of Directors to find evidence-based answers to the daily questions we get from the public, patients, clinics, and therapists

💙 We also strive to keep our individual membership fee low ($25/year, unchanged since 2005) in order to ensure universal access to resources. Donations assist us in keeping this fee the same although our costs for providing these resources have long-ago exceeded this amount.

This isn't a complete list of our current projects, but some great examples of what your support assists us in doing. Our full annual report for 2025 will be available at the end of the month.

Neck HURTS = Foot PROBLEM.

🤯

TRUTH: If the left side of your neck HURTS,
you might need to loosen your right foot.

“Don’t believe me?!??”

Try this:

From a standing position with toes facing forward, shift your bodyweight to your right side. What you most likely notice, is that your left foot turns a little bit.

Since everything is connected, here is is why that happens.

1. When you shift weight to the right, the LEFT side of your pelvis swings forward a little. This twists your pelvis over the right leg. We call this relative internal hip rotation.

2. As a result, the arch on your RIGHT foot gets higher and more rigid, the left will flatten easier.

3. Because our spine (via the sacrum) attaches between your pelvic bones, your lower back bends to the left.

4. As a result the LEFT shoulder is forced to raise, this loads the muscles on the side of your neck eccentrically.

IN SIMPLE TERMS…it forces them to hold on to your BIG HEAD all day long.

This means…

- they get tired
- they get weak
- YOU feel stiffness, tightness and PAIN.

You may also get FRUSTRATED because unless you get your foot, hips, and head on the same page this can be a CHRONIC PROBLEM.
