Lymphoedema physiotherapy at Calm Physiotherapy is a specialised treatment designed to manage fluid retention, lipoedema, and post-surgical swelling. Our Complex Lymphoedema Therapy reduces discomfort and prevents disease progression, helping you live a healthier, more fulfilled life.
Living with chronic swelling, heavy limbs, or painful tissue inflammation can severely impact your daily mobility and long-term health. At Calm Physiotherapy, we provide Complex Lymphoedema Therapy, which is widely considered the clinical gold standard for managing fluid accumulation, lipoedema, and vascular issues. Our evidence-based treatments focus on reducing swelling, alleviating tissue tightness, and preventing condition progression so you can regain comfort and function.
Our highly qualified lymphoedema physiotherapists, Jennifer Romanczukiewicz and Kate Alkemade, deliver compassionate, individualised care for both men and women. As an experienced Lymphoedema Physiotherapy Group Member, Jennifer has completed extensive specialised training in prescribing and fitting medical-grade compression garments from trusted brands to maximise your clinical outcomes. Working alongside her, Kate focuses on early intervention after a cancer diagnosis and targeted rehabilitation. She addresses post-operative oedema, peripheral arterial disease, and post-oncological scarring to safely restore your physical range of motion and overall well-being.
Lymphoedema is the excessive accumulation of high-protein fluid that causes swelling, tissue inflammation, and firmness. While it cannot be completely cured, it can be highly effectively managed and reduced using Complex Lymphoedema Therapy to prevent the condition from worsening over time.
Lipoedema is a genetic condition affecting women that causes disproportionate, symmetrical deposits of fatty tissue in areas like the calves, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. Unlike standard weight gain or lymphoedema, these deposits are often painful, feel heavy, and are highly resistant to traditional diet and exercise.
Medical-grade compression garments are a gold standard of treatment, but they must be precisely fitted to work safely and effectively. Our team holds advanced training to select the exact shape, material, and pressure grade needed to maximise your comfort and ensure the garment is easy to put on.
While most standard post-surgical swelling reduces significantly within the first two weeks and clears by six weeks, some individuals experience prolonged oedema that stalls rehabilitation. Our lymphoedema practitioners provide specialised manual therapies and education to stimulate fluid clearance and get your recovery back on track.
