Tess O’toole, BodyCentral Clinical Massage Therapy Christchurch, trying the TEO.

TEO is a non-invasive treatment method that delivers a range of therapeutic benefits via electrostatic oscillation. It works by generating an electrostatic field between the applicator—or the therapist’s hands—and the patient’s tissue. This interaction creates a gentle, pulsating kneading effect known as electrostatic oscillation.

A memory just popped up in my feed from when I first ran Navigating Lipoedema With Confidence last year and it reminded me how powerful that first round really was.

The first class ran for a full 96 minutes and was absolutely packed with knowledge and insight. So much so that “the basics” didn’t feel basic at all!

In that first session, we unpacked:

🔹 What lipoedema actually is (in plain English).
🔹The types and stages of lipoedema.
🔹 Why so many doctors still don’t recognise it.
🔹 Where to find information to take to your medical team.
🔹 The Medicare issue, why lipoedema isn’t yet recognised and what needs to be done to change that.
🔹 How to find resources to help you approach your MP.
🔹 Conflicting medical guidelines (and what that means for you).

We also busted a lot of myths, including:

🔸 Will everyone progress from Stage 1 to Stage 4?
🔸 Does losing weight reverse lipoedema?
🔸 Is surgery a cure?
🔸 Do diuretics actually help?
🔸 Are there any standardised tests for diagnosis?

It was such a rich, empowering session and now it’s time to do it all again!

If you missed out last time (or need a refresher), the next round of Navigating Lipoedema With Confidence is about to begin.

Would you like to join us for this next round?

We were fortunate to hear from respected clinicians Claire Boyce, Bernie Te Moni-Withington, and Charmaine McKernan, who generously shared their experiences using these therapies in practice. Their insights sparked valuable discussion and practical learning for everyone involved.
It was a great opportunity to bring clinicians together to share knowledge, foster innovation, and support better outcomes for patients — particularly fitting during Lymphoedema Awareness Week.
Thank you to everyone who joined us.

Lymphoedema Awareness Week reminds us that ongoing support matters.
Managing lymphoedema is a journey that requires education, consistency, and the right care team. At Medi-Rent, we’re inspired every day by the dedication of therapists and patients working toward better outcomes.
💙 Awareness leads to understanding — and better care.

Lymphoedema Awareness Week begins today.

This week, we come together under one shared purpose. Improving outcomes for people living with lymphatic health conditions.

In 2026, Lymphoedema Awareness Week highlights Lymphoedema Care in Practice - shining a spotlight on the breadth, depth and diversity of lymphoedema care delivered across Australasia.

Under the theme ‘United in Care. Diverse in Practice.’, this year’s campaign recognises the highly trained and accredited professionals working across a wide range of roles, settings and specialties. While our practice environments and focus areas may vary, we are united by a shared commitment.

Different roles. Different pathways. One commitment to best practice care.

We encourage all members to proudly display the Lymphoedema Awareness Week 2026 poster (arriving imminently, if not already in your mailbox) within your workplace, clinic, hospital or university setting, and to repost/share our social media graphics on your platform.

Displaying the poster and sharing the social media graphic is a simple but powerful way to:

• Raise awareness of lymphoedema care
• Highlight your professional role
• Start important conversations within your workplace and community

United in Care. Diverse in Practice.
