Embedded in our Clinic's philosophy is the goal to assist our clients with home management regimes such as:

• teaching self lymph drainage

• advice with appropriate exercises and return to gym programs

• tips for skin and general limb care

• correct regimes for garment wear and the appropriate use of garments for flight travel

• referral if required onto other health professionals such as dieticians, and podiatrists who have experience with lymphoedema

• correct bra wear (or other associated items of clothing) to avoid potential worsening of lymphoedema.
