If you have been identified with sub-clinical lymphoedema after completing a Lymphoedema Screening, there is some good news.

By starting treatment at this early stage, you can stop lymphoedema from progressing and becoming a permanent condition.

Our early intervention program involves 6–8 week program. Each individual will be assessed and the most appropriate clinical pathway will be planned. This will commonly include garment prescription, surveillance, and education. Manual techniques such as drainage massage may also be used.
