Lymphoedema Therapy

Professional Care for Lymphoedema Management

Dr Aaron is a qualified lymphoedema therapist, offering compassionate, personalised care for individuals living with lymphoedema—a chronic condition that results from an impaired lymphatic system and leads to persistent swelling, most commonly in the arms or legs. Whether your lymphoedema is primary (genetic) or secondary (due to surgery, radiation, trauma, or infection), I am here to support you with evidence-based treatment and ongoing management.

What Is Lymphoedema?

Lymphoedema is a long-term condition caused by a build-up of lymphatic fluid, typically due to damage or blockage in the lymphatic system. Early diagnosis and effective treatment can significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

Common Signs of Lymphoedema:

Other symptoms may include:

Persistent swelling in the limbs, fingers, or toes

A feeling of heaviness or tightness in the affected area

Skin changes or thickening

Recurrent infections (e.g. cellulitis)

Restricted range of movement

Treatment and Management Services

I provide a comprehensive, holistic approach to lymphoedema management, including:

Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT)

The gold standard in lymphoedema treatment, CDT involves:

  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Gentle, rhythmic massage to stimulate lymph flow
  • Compression Therapy: Custom-fitted bandaging or garments to reduce and maintain limb size
  • Skin Care: To reduce the risk of infection and promote skin health
  • Exercise and Movement Guidance: To encourage natural lymph flow and improve mobility.

 

Ongoing Maintenance & Support

  • Monitoring and adjusting compression needs
  • Education for self-management and prevention
  • Support through flare-ups or changes in condition.
