Therapy Treatments
Treatments Available
Lymphoedema Management
Lymphoedema is the abnormal accumulation of protein-rich fluid accompanied by low level chronic inflammation and reactive fibrosis. Decongestive lymphatic therapy is the gold standard treatment and includes compression therapy (bandaging and/or garments), manual lymphatic drainage, skin care, exercise and modification of activities of daily living including education and adjuvant therapy.
Lipoedema Management
Lipoedema is a chronic disorder of adipose tissue mainly affecting the legs, but not the feet, occurring almost exclusively in women. It is often misdiagnosed for obesity and has no known cause. Treatment is similar to lymphoedema utilising decongestive lymphatic therapy. This includes compression therapy (bandaging and/or garments), manual lymphatic drainage, skin care, exercise and modification of activities of daily living including education and adjuvant therapy.
Oncology Massage
Oncology Massage is a very light and relaxing massage specifically tailored for people with cancer, those feeling frail or with compromised health. I incorporate decongestive lymphatic therapy into the treatment. This includes compression therapy (bandaging and/or garments), manual lymphatic drainage, skin care, exercise and modification of activities of daily living including education and adjuvant therapy.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is an advanced therapy that encourages the natural process of the lymphatic vessels to eliminate waste products and to boost your body’s defenses.
Compression Garment Fitting
If your doctor has asked you to wear a compression garment, it is imperative that you are correctly fitted. These garments are expensive, you want the right one the first time. In fact, you will require two garments – one on and one in the wash.
Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, addressing dysfunctions which cause pain and restrict movement.
Remedial massage is now covered under Home Care Packages for age-related functional decline but must be delivered by an accredited provider such as myself.
