Lymphoedema treatment
Compression Garments
Compression garments can provide proper pressure to the swollen area to reduce fluid, break fibrotic tissues, improve the size and shape of the area, and promote circulation. I can help with measuring, fitting and selecting proper garment for you
For low-level laser therapy, the LTU-904 Laser Therapy Unit is available in the clinic. It is an infrared laser operating at a wavelength of 904 nanometers that can penetrate deeply into the tissue. This is the ONLY laser device cleared by the Australian TGA for lymphoedema treatment after breast cancer
Laser Therapy
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized technique that is used to direct lymph fluid from a congested area to other functioning lymphatic areas. It is helpful to reduce swelling and pain on the affected areas. I can help you with the massage and show you how to do it yourself at home
Scar Therapy
Restore Scar therapy utilises evidence-based techniques to help improve scar tissue and minimise symptoms caused by scars. I can help you with your scar using these techniques and show you some self-care strategies to use at home
Sequential Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (SIPC)
Exercise
SIPC therapy involves the use of an external device and air-filled sleeves to apply pressure to the swollen areas to improve circulation and reduce swelling. It is widely used for lymphoedema, lipoedema, post-surgical swelling, and venous conditions
Exercise is safe and beneficial for people with lymphoedema or are at risk of developing one. Exercise helps to improve lymphatic flow and circulation. There are many types of exercises, and I can help prescribe one that is suitable for your needs
