British Lymphology Society's EveryBodyCan campaign: 2021 relaunch

The lymphatic system is complex, with highly specialised features to manage its multiple functions. The coronavirus pandemic has drawn attention to its role in immune surveillance; equally important in supporting immunity are its key functions of fluid homeostasis and nutrition or gut health (Sneddon and Elwell, 2020). Keeping the lymphatic system healthy and functioning effectively is essential for everyone and crucial for those at risk of, or with, lymphoedema. Health professionals and those they care for have a secret weapon that helps keep the lymphatic system working well, without them even realising it: movement. The lymphatic system relies on the use of small muscle groups to aid the flow of lymph around the body. The British Lymphology Society's (BLS) EveryBodyCan Campaign wants to help patients to mobilise their secret weapons. To support this, there will be free downloadable posters/flyers and leaflets, links to useful resources and educational materials, all available at www.thebls.com/pages/everybodycan/.
