Understanding Lymphoedema
Lymphoedema is a chronic condition characterised by swelling, typically in the arms or legs, due to a compromised lymphatic system. This can result from congenital factors (primary lymphoedema) or damage to the lymphatic system through surgery, radiation therapy, infection, or trauma (secondary lymphoedema). Common symptoms include swelling, heaviness, discomfort, and recurrent infections.

Our Approach to Lymphoedema Management
Comprehensive Assessment
Our physiotherapists conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical history, current health status, and specific symptoms to develop an effective treatment strategy.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
MLD is a gentle, hands-on technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, promoting the movement of lymph fluid and reducing swelling.
Compression Therapy
We prescribe and fit appropriate compression garments or bandages to help maintain fluid reduction achieved through MLD and prevent further swelling.
Personalised Exercise Programs
Tailored exercises are designed to improve lymphatic flow, enhance mobility, and support overall health.
Education and Self-Management
We empower you with knowledge and skills to manage your condition effectively, including skin care, infection prevention, and lifestyle modifications.
