In honor of Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month, the Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders will be hosting one program per week! Please join us for the activities below!
Lunch will be provided after each class.

MARCH 6

Learning about Lymphatic Massage Class
Join us for an informative lecture and demonstration on Lymphatic Massage. Lymphatic Massage is a gentle form of massage that is very beneficial for swelling and inflammation especially for those with a sluggish lymphatic system. Participants will learn what lymphatic massage is, the benefits for people with bleeding disorders, how to perform lymphatic massage on yourself, and ask questions to our speaker, Theresa Gamlin.

Time: 11:00AM – 12:00PM
Instructor: Theresa Gamlin, LMT
Hosted by the Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders

MARCH 13

Yoga Class
Patients will be guided through a gentle yoga class, with chair modifications included, to help control their breathing and calm their nervous system. When the body is relaxed, it can better grow, heal, and repair. Gentle yoga also encourages blood circulation and flexibility—important factors for people with hemophilia and other bleeding and clotting disorders. Lunch will be provided after class.

Time: 11:00AM – 12:00PM
Instructor: Jessica House RN, BSN
Hosted by the Center for Bleeding and Clotting Disorders at UC San Diego Health
