The diagrams show five starting positions across the chest and back for lymphoedema self massage. The first position is in the armpit on the non-swollen side. Position two is slightly to the side of this, above the nipple area. Position three is in the centre of the chest/back and four above the other nipple. Position five is in the arm pit of the swollen arm.
