Compression isn’t one-size-fits-all!
When it comes to lymphoedema management, the right compression garment can make all the difference—and luckily, there are plenty of options to suit different needs!
From ready-to-wear sleeves and stockings to custom-fitted wraps and flat-knit garments, finding the perfect fit is key to comfort and effectiveness.
An accredited lymphoedema therapist can help choose the best style, material, and pressure level for your body and lifestyle. Whether you
need something for daily wear, nighttime support, or extra flexibility, there’s a solution for you!

What’s your experience with compression? Do you have a favourite style or tip for making it part of
your routine? Let’s chat in the comments! ⬇

This is such an important point about compression!

|| Lymphoedema Awareness Week ||

Compression = protection!
If you’ve ever dealt with cellulitis, you know how tough it can be. The good news? Wearing your compression garments
consistently can help reduce the risk of recurrence.
Compression helps keep fluid moving, reduces swelling, and supports your skin—creating an environment that’s less prone to infection. Paired with good skincare and early intervention, it’s a powerful tool in preventing flare-ups.

Consistency is key! Do you have any tips for making compression more comfortable or part of your daily routine? Share them below! ⬇

Happy Lymphoedema Awareness Week!!! This is a timely reminder - watch your wounds!!!!

|| Lymphoedema Awareness Week ||

For most people, a tiny cut or scratch is no big deal—but for those with lymphoedema, even a minor wound can become a serious issue if not managed properly. With a compromised lymphatic system, the body has a harder time fighting infection, making early intervention key.
The best approach? Clean it, cover it, and keep an eye on it. If there’s redness, warmth, or swelling that worsens—don’t wait, seek medical advice!
Have you ever caught an issue early just by paying attention? Let’s share our experiences in the
comments! ⬇
