Lymphoedema occurs when the lymphatic system is damaged or impaired due to illness, infection, trauma, cancer, or other factors, leading to chronic swelling in the affected area. Lymphoedema therapy helps manage this condition by promoting lymph drainage and maintaining optimal lymph node function.
Our practice specialises in Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), the gold standard for lymphoedema management. This includes manual lymphatic drainage (a skin-stretching massage technique), compression therapy (bandages and pressure garments), exercise, and skincare. These methods help reduce swelling, improve daily activity engagement, and empower patients to manage their condition long-term. Our Certified Lymphoedema Therapist is qualified to treat lymphoedema of any part of the body.
