Our comprehensive five-pronged approach for our lymphoedema clients bundles together evidence-based therapies of
- nutrition;
- movement;
- mind (counselling, meditation and mindfulness);
- lymphoedema massage and management; and
- pressure garments.
The essence of this approach is to create a proactive, empowered and responsible approach to your health.
