Fundraising for Lymphoedema Prevention


The Sozo with L-Dex is a reliable detection tool for subclinical Lymphoedema. Click here for more info
  • 95% reduction in lymphoedema progression with subclinical detection
Riverside is on a mission to raise money for a SOZO biompedence spectroscopy for the early detection and prevention of lymphoedema post cancer treatment. please go to the GOFUNDME site to help.
There is more to it than just getting a machine. behind the scenes we are getting community involvement with various partners- medical and nursing to ensure the ongoing program succeeds. to substantiate the purchase we are setting up a research project to validate/justify. 
There will be the implementation of 'Test Trigger Treat' with the use of the SOZO

Here's a few facts:  lymphoedema reduces quality of life
  • coping with symptoms
  • associated with depression
  • constant reminder of cancer
  • financial burden- loss of productivity/$$$ of treatment


THANKYOU FOR HELPING

"The Efficacy of Stretching Exercises on Arterial Stiffness in Middle-Aged and Older Adults"

Cardiovascular disease  is the leading cause of death given our current lifestyle. prevention is key. 
I credit the following to Terra Rosa for their regular research posts:
"The study concluded that regular stretching performed over at least 4 weeks in middle-aged and advanced persons (here from at least 40 years of age) leads to a significant reduction in arterial stiffness, which is a vascular aspect that usually increases with age. This ’rejuvenation’ of the arteries is associated with a lower resting heart rate in users, lower diastolic blood pressure, and improved vascular endothelial function."
