Compression Garment Fitting
“Correct fitting and choice of garment is essential”
Expertly fitted for comfort, support, and better health.
My practice is dedicated to the management of lymphoedema and lipoedema, and I am trained in the professional fitting of compression garments. I stay up to date with current research and trends through ongoing training with major suppliers.
Your doctor may recommend a garment for any number of reasons. These might include "compression stockings" for your legs, or "compression sleeves" for your arms—but garments can be made for nearly every area of the body. Some are ready-to-wear; others need to be custom made to fit your unique needs.
Why Professional Fitting Matters
Like assembling a flat pack without the instructions, buying a compression garment without professional help can lead to costly and uncomfortable mistakes.
Compression garments are a medical investment—don’t leave it to guesswork. I’ll ensure you’re fitted correctly, educated on your options, and confident with your choice.
