Helen Eason Physiotherapy is the forefront of expert oncology rehabilitation and lymphoedema / lipoedema management. With 20 years experience, lymphoedema training at Masters level, and a registered member of the APA, ALA and NLPR you can be assured that you are in expert hands. Helen Eason Physiotherapy was founded to empower cancer survivors to recover their quality of life as quickly as possibl
e by providing post surgical, chemotherapy and radiotherapy rehabilitation with lymphoedema risk assessment, prevention, monitoring and management. Helen also works with primary lymphoedema and lipoedema sufferers. With each client she works to form an individualised programme to maximise recovery and to regain former physical fitness and quality of life. Helen has trained in the fill and flush technique of medical lymphatic drainage, the most evidence based, time and cost effective method of MLD. Helen holds a Counselling certificate and incorporates counselling skills and motivational techniques where appropriate. Helen has also attained a Diploma in Orthopaedic Medicine ensuring accurate diagnosis of your pain and movement issues. She uses state of the art equipment (perometry and bioimpedence) within your assessment. This is the same equipment used at Mercy Health and Monash Health so your measurements are transferrable to the public hospital lymphoedema clinics if required. Many hospitals are unable to provide best practice physiotherapy services for cancer patients. If no pre operative limb measurements are taken, early diagnosis of lymphoedema after surgery or radiotherapy is not always achievable. Helen offers guaranteed gap free limb measurements pre and post operatively / post radiotherapy to ensure more patients can gain best practice within their care. Home visits are available where required ( with additional fees)
Helen regularly updates her skills and has spoken at Australian Physiotherapy Association, Australasian Lymphology Association, British Lymphology Society and International Lymphology Society conferences on best practice issues.
