Lymphoedema treatment at Oaks Physiotherapy

Lymphoedema is an excessive build up of water and protein in the tissues of the body, leading to swelling. It occurs if the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked, and this can lead to scarring following breast surgery or radiation treatment.

The treatment includes:

• Manual Lymph Drainage
• Skin care, with personalised advice for home care
• Compression sleeves, measured to fit
• Multi-layer bandaging
• Life-style advice
• Appropriate simple exercises
