![]() Swell Spots Have Come a Long WaySwell Spots began as mini-solutions to the big challenge of lymphedema. News spread, and hand therapists and other professionals now use them to meet a wide range of rehabilitation needs, such as problematic areas of swelling, tissue fibrosis, and contouring over and around boney prominences. Wherever there is a pocket of swelling there are Swell Spots to fit the job. Swell Spots Facts
Why Do Swell Spots Work?
1. Foam chips in Swell Spots create
localized tissue pressure differentials
to stimulate interstitial fluid movement,
prevent stagnation and soften
indurated tissue.
2. Foam chips in Swell Spots nestle into the tissue to create localized tissue stretch and pressure differential. 3. Tissue stretch opens up gap junctions drawing in excess interstitial fluids and waste products into the lymphatic system. ![]() |
