Lymphoedema is a chronic medical condition caused by impaired lymphatic function, resulting in the accumulation of fluid and progressive tissue change. It can develop following cancer treatment, surgery, trauma, infection, or as a primary condition,. It often presents as swelling, heaviness, discomfort, or changes in skin and tissue quality.
For many people, lymphoedema develops gradually and may initially be subtle — a sense of tightness, fullness, or asymmetry that is easy to dismiss. Without early assessment and appropriate management, lymphoedema can progress, impacting mobility, skin health, and long-term quality of life.
When identified and managed appropriately, symptoms can often be reduced, progression slowed, and comfort significantly improved. Lymphoedema management through Lipoedema Lab focuses not only on swelling reduction, but also on maintaining skin integrity, scar reduction, tissue health, and improved body confidence.
For clients requiring specialist assessment and management, care is delivered through Lipoedema Lab — a dedicated clinical program focused on lymphatic dysfunction, and chronic tissue change.
