Exercises for Armpit Swelling

Swelling in the armpit can be due to inflammation from surgery or something like lymphedema. But nobody likes dealing with discomfort in this sensitive area.

One way to help is with movement. Engaging in regular, low-impact exercises can enhance circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage because the system relies on the muscles to keep the fluid moving.

Gentle arm exercises, like these, can be simple options, but even doing tasks or chores around the home that are light will be beneficial.

Always start slowly, and if you experience pain or discomfort.

Other ways to help reduce swelling in this area is with lymphatic drainage and proper compression to the area. I share specific details on types in a recent Youtube Video that you can find on my Channel.
