Although there is currently no cure for lipoedema, early diagnosis and treatment can make a real difference. Treatment may include compression therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, compression pump therapy, exercise, movement programs, healthy lifestyle support, and personalised care from healthcare professionals experienced in managing lipoedema.

If you're experiencing symptoms or think you may have lipoedema, we're here to help. Our team understands the challenges of living with this condition and can work with you to develop a treatment plan that supports your health, comfort and wellbeing.

Evidence suggests that people who undergo lymph node surgery and/or radiation therapy can go on to develop cancer related lymphoedema. 

Early intervention and surveillance are key. Evidence shows early assessment and treatment can lead to better outcomes including reduced rates of irreversible, chronic cancer related lymphoedema.

Research suggests that lymphoedema surveillance and review continue for:

· High risk of developing lymphoedema: 3 months to 3 years post-surgery

· Low risk of developing lymphoedema: 3 months to 24 months post-surgery

Your Lymphoedema Therapist will support you in your early intervention and surveillance journey.

Our personalised treatment may include:

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): A gentle technique to reduce swelling and support healing. 
• Scar Therapy: Hands-on treatment to improve scar flexibility, reduce tightness, and promote healthy healing. 
• Compression Therapy: Compression garments or bandaging, where appropriate, to help manage swelling. 
• Exercise & Education: Simple exercises and practical advice to improve recovery and support long-term results. 

Every treatment plan is tailored to your surgery, stage of healing, and individual recovery goals.

General Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, relaxing treatment that encourages the natural movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Using light, rhythmic techniques, MLD supports healthy lymphatic circulation while promoting relaxation and a sense of wellbeing.

This treatment may help:

• Reduce mild fluid retention and puffiness
• Promote relaxation and reduce stress
• Ease feelings of heaviness
• Support recovery after travel or prolonged sitting
• Leave you feeling refreshed and revitalised

General MLD is a soothing, non-invasive therapy suitable for many people looking to support their overall health and wellbeing. An assessment is completed before treatment to ensure it is appropriate for you.
