Lymphoedema Management &

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Here at Fortis Health & Wellbeing, we offer specialised care for lymphoedema including manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), designed to improve your quality of life and support overall wellness. Whether you are experiencing lymphoedema due to surgery, cancer treatment, or other medical conditions, our lymphoedema specialist is here to provide compassionate and effective treatment.

What is Lymphoedema?

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that occurs when the lymphatic system, which helps remove waste and toxins from the body, is impaired. This leads to a build up of lymph fluid, causing swelling, most commonly in the arms or legs. Lymphoedema can cause discomfort, pain, and restricted movement if not properly managed.

How We Can Help

We offer comprehensive lymphoedema management, tailored to your specific needs, including:

  • Assessment and Monitoring: Our specialists will conduct a thorough evaluation of your condition and develop a personalised management plan.

  • Compression Therapy: Compression garments and bandaging techniques may be used to reduce swelling and maintain fluid reduction.

  • Exercise Therapy: Gentle exercises will be recommended to promote circulation and drainage, helping manage the swelling.

  • Self-Care Education: We empower you with techniques to manage your lymphoedema at home, including skincare tips and proper garment use.

  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage: See below for more detail

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, therapeutic massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote the flow of lymph fluid. MLD is particularly effective in reducing swelling and improving overall lymphatic function.

Benefits of MLD:

  • Reduces swelling and fluid retention

  • Enhances circulation and immune function

  • Relieves discomfort and pain associated with lymphoedema

  • Promotes relaxation and general wellbeing
