Chronic Oedema & Lymphoedema

Lymphoedema is a condition that causes swelling due to a build-up of lymphatic fluid caused by obstruction, dysfunction, or damage to the lymphatic system. It can result from surgery, radiation therapy, infections, or inherited conditions. If left unmanaged, lymphoedema can lead to discomfort, mobility challenges, skin breakdown, disability and a higher risk of infections.

We offer effective management for lymphoedema and oedema through personalised treatment plans aimed at reducing swelling and improving your quality of life. Our approach focuses on enhancing lymphatic function and providing practical management options.
