Lymphoedema and Lipoedema Therapy

Do you experience chronic swelling in your limbs? You may have lymphedema or lipoedema. While both cause swelling, they have different causes. Our expert therapists can help diagnose and manage your condition, offering relief and improved quality of life.

Complete Decongestive Therapy

At our practice, we specialize in Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), the gold standard for managing lymphoedema. Our certified therapists tailor a treatment plan using manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, exercise, and meticulous skincare to reduce swelling, improve function, and prevent complications.

Lymphatic Drainage

Does puffiness or swelling hold you back? Our lymphatic drainage treatments offer a natural solution to promote detoxification and a renewed sense of lightness. By gently stimulating your lymphatic system, we can help reduce fluid buildup, boost circulation, and enhance your overall well-being.

Compression Garments

Our high-quality compression garments are designed to provide targeted support and improve circulation for those managing lymphoedema and lipoedema. Crafted with comfort and wearability in mind, they come in a variety of styles and compression levels to best suit your needs. We offer expert sizing and guidance to ensure you get the right garment for optimal results.

Self Management of Lymphoedema

Take charge of your lymphoedema. Empower yourself with the knowledge and skills you need to manage your condition effectively. Learn about skin care, exercise, compression garments, and self-massage techniques – all designed to help you reduce swelling, improve circulation, and live a more active life.

Lipoedema Management

Our practice offers a comprehensive approach to lipodema management, focusing on reducing swelling, improving mobility, and alleviating pain. We combine therapies like compression garments, manual lymphatic drainage, and exercise programs to help you manage your condition and live a more fulfilling life.
