Primary lymphoedema is a genetic or developmental condition of the lymphatic system. It happens when the body’s lymphatic vessels or nodes don’t form correctly, leading to fluid buildup and swelling.

Primary lymphoedema is chronic, meaning it doesn’t go away on its own.

Early recognition and care can slow progression, reduce discomfort & prevent infections and skin changes.

Swelling most commonly affects legs but can also involve arms or other areas.

Symptoms may include heaviness, tightness, recurring infections and skin changes.

Primary lymphoedema is real, chronic and understanding the “why” and “how” will help with your journey.

We are open Monday to Thursday 08h00 - 16h30 and Friday 08h00 - 16h00. You can find us at 28 St Marks Road in Southerwood, East London. Alternatively call us on 0437436680.

Good circulation supports comfort, movement, and everyday wellbeing.

Leg fatigue, swelling, or discomfort should not be ignored. Paying attention early helps prevent long term problems.

For some people, simple support like compression socks can help improve comfort during daily activities.

If something doesn’t feel right, it may be time to get it checked.

Venous insufficiency is a medical condition in which veins in the body (most often in the legs) are not able to pump blood back to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the blood vessels so that they become enlarged (varicose) or dilated over time.

𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀:
• twisted and bulging veins
• appearance of dark purple or blue colours at the surface of the skin
• leg swelling, itching, aching, burning, throbbing, and muscle cramping
• leg heaviness and fatigue
• skin discolouration
• restless legs
• varicose veins (Varicose veins are superficial blood vessels that become enlarged and twisted. Any vein in the body may become varicose, but the condition most often occurs in the veins of the legs.)

𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
• Family history
• Pregnancy and other conditions that put pressure on veins in the legs
• A history of blood clots
• A history of smoking
• Standing or sitting for long periods of time
• Being overweight, which increases pressure on the legs
• Menopause
• Aging, which results in decreased elasticity of blood vessels
• Weakened blood vessel walls
• Inflammation of the veins (known as phlebitis)

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱?
Lifestyle changes may help prevent varicose veins from forming.

These changes include:
• Elevating legs while sitting or sleeping
• Wearing compression stockings or dressings
• Avoiding standing for extended periods of time
• Losing weight

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹?

Check the posture and feet of your little ones

Poor shoulder posture, often appearing as hunched or rounded shoulders, is caused by muscle imbalances from activities like prolonged computer use or poor ergonomics.

Poor foot posture is an abnormal alignment of the feet, such as flat feet or high arches, that can cause a "domino effect" of pain, affecting the knees, hips, and back. This misalignment can result from issues like excessive pronation (inward rolling) or supination (outward rolling) of the feet, leading to uneven weight distribution and strain on joints and muscles. Solutions include wearing custom orthotics and maintaining good posture while sitting and standing.
