What is Lymphoedema?

Lymphoedema is a medical condition that causes the accumulation of excess protein-rich fluid in body tissues, leading to swelling in different parts of the body. Typically, lymphoedema affects the arms and legs, but it can also occur in the breast, trunk, head, neck, or genital area. This condition arises as a result of damage or dysfunction of the lymphatic system when the demand for lymphatic drainage exceeds its capacity to circulate fluid.

Our qualified lymphoedema therapists, led by Roxanne van Rensburg, provide a holistic approach to management using Complex Lymphoedema Therapy (CLT), which is a conservative treatment method. The CLT offered by our clinic includes several components which may include: 

• Education
• Skincare
• Exercise
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)Prescription compression therapy
• Sequential Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (SIPC) therapy
