The Scar, Pelvic & Lymphoedema Clinic

09/04/2026

Do you have urinary leakage? Faecal continence issues? Painful pelvic region? Vaginismus? Birth trauma? Prolapse? Looking to get back to running after a baby and worried about wetting yourself?

You do not have to accept it. It is not normal, or a natural part of aging, or being a woman after having children!

Kegals are such a teeny part of pelvic health!

At The Scar, Pelvic & Lymphoedema Clinic I support people just like you with rebuilding pelvic health, re-engaging with meaningful activities, relationships with others and yourself. Getting back to what you love to do, how you see yourself with confidence.

I have a few limited appointments available in April with free 30 mins consultations available so I can answer any questions you may have to decide if support is right for you.

DM me to book or see www.splclinic.co.uk and drop me a contact there.

Stop. 🛑 Check in with your body for a second.

​Are you:

​Sucking in your stomach?
​Clenching your jaw?
​Holding your breath?

​Believe it or not, your pelvic floor reacts to stress just like your shoulders do. Constant "stomach gripping" (trying to keep that tummy flat!) creates internal pressure that can lead to pelvic pain, bloating, and even bladder issues.

​Today’s Challenge:

Every time you check your phone today, take one 360-degree breath. Inhale so your ribs expand and your pelvic floor gently "drops" or relaxes.

​Your pelvic floor is the foundation of your core. Treat it with a little kindness today!

Finding Ease in Your Body After Treatment

​Hi everyone, I’m Ceridwen 👋. I am a HCPC registered Occupational Therapist and specialise in supporting the oncology community through Scar Therapy and Practical Swelling Management. I also support pelvic health, function and postpartum recovery.

Post-surgery or radiation, it’s common for tissue to feel tight or for limbs to feel "heavy." As an occupational therapist I use a whole body, physical and mental wellbeing holistic approach. Using techniques from my Casley-Smith and specialist oncology scar training, I work to help soften restrictive scar tissue and provide practical strategies to manage localized swelling and improve skin health.

​I have some sessions available for April, but my calendar is filling up.

​Focus Areas:

​Softening surgical and radiation scars to improve comfort

​Practical techniques for managing limb heaviness and swelling including compression advice

​Improving range of motion and tissue flexibility

​How to book: Send me a DM or visit www.splclinic.co.uk to grab one of the remaining April spots. I offer up to 30 mins no obligation consultations to so you can see if this is right for you.

Clinic: Colwyn Bay or LEAF Health Llandudno with limited home visits available by arrangement.

Do your legs feel heavy, swollen or uncomfortable by the end of the day?

You might be dealing with fluid retention or lymphatic congestion — and it’s more common than you think.

Simple Lymphatic Drainage (SLD) is a gentle, clinical treatment designed to:

Reduce swelling
Improve lymph flow
Relieve that heavy, tight feeling

I offer specialist, clinically-led lymphatic treatments tailored to your needs.

If this sounds like you, you don’t have to just put up with it.

Colwyn Bay Clinic and free 20-30 minutes consultations should you want to ask questions.

Early Support for Swelling Matters

Noticing swelling after surgery, cancer treatment, or an injury? Don’t wait for it to get worse — early intervention can make a huge difference.

I’m now taking bookings for mid-April for lymphoedema support, with a focus on gentle, effective early management including:

Simple Lymphatic Drainage (SLD) – easy techniques you can learn and use at home

Compression guidance – helping you find the right support for your body

Personalised advice to reduce swelling, discomfort, and prevent progression

As an Occupational Therapist trained in lymphoedema care, I take a whole-person, practical approach — helping you feel more in control and confident managing your symptoms day-to-day.

Early signs might include:
• Heaviness or tightness
• Swelling that comes and goes
• Skin feeling different or tighter
• Jewellery or clothes feeling snug

You don’t need to wait for a formal diagnosis to get support.

📅 Limited appointments available from mid-April
Message me to book or find out more

Let’s support your body early — gently, proactively, and with the right tools.

If you’ve noticed a new heaviness in a limb, a ring feeling tighter, or subtle swelling that comes and goes, early intervention is the most powerful tool we have.

​As an Occupational Therapist, I use Simple Lymphatic Drainage (SLD) to help patients manage these early signs before they progress.

​Why is SLD so helpful?

​Redirects Fluid: It uses gentle, rhythmic movements to guide lymphatic fluid away from congested areas toward healthy nodes.

​Reduces Tissue Pressure: By moving fluid early, we prevent the "tight" feeling and skin changes associated with long-term swelling.

​Empowers You: Unlike some clinical treatments, SLD is a technique I teach you to do at home, giving you daily control over your symptoms.

​Protects Function: Keeping swelling low means maintaining your range of motion and ability to perform daily activities without discomfort.

Take Control of Your Healing with SPL Clinic - occupational therapy led clinic that supports both physical and mental wellbeing.

​After surgery or oncology treatment, it’s common to feel like your body is no longer your own. The tightness of a scar or the heavy "fullness" of swelling can stop you from doing the things you love—whether that’s reaching for a cupboard or simply getting dressed without discomfort.

​As an Occupational Therapist, my goal isn't just to "treat" you—it’s to give you your independence and sense of self back.

​How we work together:

​Scar Integration: I don't just "rub" the scar. We use specialized techniques to ensure the tissue moves freely, preventing that "pulling" sensation that limits your reach and mobility.

​Lymphedema & Lipoedema Support:
Managing chronic swelling—whether from Lymphedema or Lipoedema—requires more than just "waiting it out." As an OT, I help you move from feeling heavy and restricted to empowered and independent. I provide compression measurement/product advice and advice on skincare.

​SLD Education (Simple Lymphatic Drainage): I teach you the gentle, rhythmic sequences to move fluid and reduce heaviness at home. You become the expert in your own decongestion.

​Functional Adaptation: We look at how your swelling or scar affects your daily life and find ways to make your "everyday" easier while you heal.

​Stop waiting for the tightness to go away on its own. Let’s build a toolkit that puts you back in the driver’s seat of your recovery!

Drop me a DM today to book your free consultation in and LEAF Health Llandudno. Limited appointments left in April.

If you’ve recently had surgery or cancer treatment and noticed swelling that isn’t settling, your body might need a little extra support.

Early-stage lymphoedema can feel like:
• Puffiness or heaviness in an area
• Tight, uncomfortable skin
• Clothing or jewellery feeling tighter than usual
• A sense that “something just isn’t right”

The good news?

Early support can make a huge difference.

At SPL Clinic, I offer education and guided Self Lymphatic Drainage (SLD) to help you support your own body safely and effectively.

Together we can:
Learn simple, gentle SLD techniques you can do at home
Support swelling reduction
Improve comfort and movement
Build confidence in managing your symptoms early
Help prevent progression

You’ll also receive:
• Personalised advice tailored to your surgery or treatment. Including compression garment fitting and kinesiology.
• Movement and breathing strategies to support lymph flow
• Clear guidance on what’s safe (and what to avoid)

Not sure if it’s lymphoedema or normal post-op swelling?
I offer a free 20-minute consultation to talk it through with you.

Message me to book or ask any questions.

Limited availability in April in Colwyn Bay and LEAF Health Llandudno, so don't delay. DM or email hello@splclinic.co.uk to book.

Combining Occupational Therapy and lymphoedema training, I offer a whole-person approach — supporting both your physical recovery and your confidence in managing symptoms independently.
