Started a new exercise regime lately and noticed your balance isn’t quite up to scratch? Chances are, you need to dial things back a little and return to the basics.

This month we have some tips on fitting exercise into your spring-cleaning and we focus on lymphoedema!

Lymphoedema is a high-protein swelling resulting from fluid build-up in soft tissues, which then forms a solid mass. Symptoms include heavy, tight and achy limbs, with swelling and decreased movement around the affected joints.

A clean environment helps to maintain a clear head, and the act of cleaning can be therapeutic in itself. Vigorous cleaning can burn up to 90 calories per fifteen minutes; that’s up to 360 calories per hour!
