Your daily activities shouldn't be a struggle. Let's talk about lymphoedema.

At the Lymphatic Therapy Centre, our belief is that no condition should keep you from doing the things that bring meaning to your life. That's why we want to talk about lymphoedema, a common condition that causes swelling and discomfort.

This swelling can make it difficult to wear certain clothes, feel comfortable in your own skin, or even move freely. But there is help available.

Treatment is a Partnership. Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), led by our qualified therapists, is a proven way to manage symptoms and regain control. It's a journey, but you don't have to take it alone.

If you're struggling with swelling and feel like it's holding you back, please reach out. We can work with you to find a management plan that works for you, so you can get back to living your life to the fullest.

Navigating lymphedema can be challenging, but you don't have to do it alone. At Lymphatic Therapy Centre, we offer Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)—a comprehensive approach to managing your condition.

A certified lymphedema therapist will conduct an in-depth assessment and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan. We use a combination of gentle techniques, including:

Manual Lymph Drainage: A specialized, gentle massage to encourage fluid movement.

Compression Therapy: Using wraps or garments to support the affected limb.

Education: Learning about skin care, nutrition, and exercise to help you manage your symptoms every day.

Our goal is to help your lymphatic system function better, reduce fluid buildup, and improve your quality of life. Let us partner with you on your journey toward better health.

We are so excited to share some great news! Our amazing therapist, Jen Dunn, has just completed her training in Specialist Lipoedema Management.

But what exactly is lipoedema? It's a condition that affects many women, causing a disproportionate buildup of fat in the lower body and sometimes arms. This isn't your typical weight gain—it's often painful and doesn't respond to diet or exercise. People with lipoedema often have a much smaller upper body compared to their legs, and may experience easy bruising and a feeling of heaviness.

Lipoedema can be difficult to diagnose, but Jen's new skills in assessing, diagnosing, and treating the condition mean we can provide the support and management so many people need.

Do you have any of these symptoms?

A slim waist but larger hips, thighs, and legs?

Feet and hands that are not affected by the fat buildup?

Pain or tenderness in your legs when you touch them?

Easy bruising?

Fat that doesn't go away with diet and exercise?

If this sounds like you, please reach out. We are here to help you get the right answers and the right care.

Understanding Lipoedema: It's More Than Just Fat!

Ever wondered why some fat just won't budge, no matter what? You might be thinking about Lipoedema.

This chronic condition causes an abnormal, painful accumulation of fat, mainly in the legs, thighs, and sometimes arms, almost exclusively affecting women.

Key things to know:

🦵 Symmetrical: Affects both sides equally.
🩹 Painful & Bruises Easily: The fat is often tender and prone to bruising.
🚫 Diet & Exercise Resistant: Lipoedema fat doesn't respond to conventional weight loss.
🦶 Spares Hands & Feet: Often stops abruptly at ankles/wrists.
It's NOT obesity, and early diagnosis is key for management!

At Lymphatic Therapy Centre, we understand Lipoedema and offer specialized support. If this sounds familiar, don't suffer in silence.

Red Light Therapy & Lipedema

For our incredible clients managing lipedema, we're always exploring new ways to support your well-being. We want to share more about Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Red Light Therapy, and its promising role in managing lipedema symptoms.

While not a cure, PBM is being increasingly recognized for its potential to help with common concerns like:

⚡ Pain Relief: By helping to calm inflammation.
💧 Swelling Reduction: Supporting better lymphatic drainage.
🩸 Improved Circulation: Enhancing blood flow and nutrient delivery.
✨ Tissue Repair: Potentially aiding in healthier skin and tissue.
🔋 Increased Energy: Boosting cellular function and reducing fatigue.

We're excited about the possibilities PBM offers as a supportive therapy. If you have questions or want to learn more about how this could integrate into your lipedema management plan, please feel free to reach out or ask us during your next visit!
