Sarah Butler, Physiotherapist

I have two FREE talks coming up this month at the Ottawa Integrative Cancer Centre. March is Lymphedema Awareness Month so I will be offering education on the lymphatic system and lymphedema. 1) Monday March 11 at 7:00pm - Lymphatic System 101... 2) Monday March 25 at 7:00pm - Lymphedema 101 Join in to learn about the basics of the lymphatic system, how to support and care for it, and how to reduce the risk of lymphedema. Comment below or message me if you have any questions. Call 613-792-1222, email [email protected], or message me to register.

Tomorrow is World Lymphedema Day. To raise awareness I will be "living a day in the life of someone with lymphedema." Follow along (mostly on Instagram @sarah.butler.pt) as I document my skin care routine, self manual lymphatic drainage, wearing compression, exercise, and self bandaging. Wow! It's tough just typing that all out. I'm anxious to 'sort of' experience what this can be like for so many of my patients.... Stay tuned for this and an announcement about my lymphedema awareness month promo!

Today is World Cancer Day. Each year on February 4, World Cancer Day empowers all of us across the world to show support, raise our collective voice, and take personal action. Whoever you are, you have the power to reduce the impact of cancer for yourself, the people you love and for the world. #WorldCancerDay #IAmAndIWill #CancerRehab #Lymphedema
