Services
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
This gentle, specialised massage technique helps to redirect sluggish lymphatic fluid away from affected areas towards healthier lymph nodes, reducing swelling and discomfort. MLD is highly beneficial for both lymphoedema by promoting fluid movement and for lipoedema by easing associated tenderness and tissue congestion.
Pneumatic Compression
Also known as Air Compression Pump Therapy, this therapy uses a sequential pump and inflatable garments to apply controlled pressure, which helps to move fluid out of the affected limb or body part. It's particularly effective in reducing stubborn swelling in lymphoedema and can provide relief from the heaviness and aching often experienced with lipoedema.
Red Laser Light Therapy
Utilising specific wavelengths of red light, this non-invasive therapy can help reduce inflammation, improve tissue health, and soften fibrotic (hardened) tissues often associated with chronic lymphoedema. For lipoedema, it may assist in managing pain and improving skin integrity.
Garment Fitting and Ordering
Compression garments (such as stockings, sleeves, or wraps) are crucial for maintaining reduced limb size and preventing fluid re-accumulation in lymphoedema. For lipoedema, custom-fitted garments provide essential support and compression to help manage symptoms like pain, heaviness, and swelling. We provide expert fitting to ensure optimal comfort, effectiveness, and adherence to your treatment plan.
