Lymphedema isn't something you have to live with. Early treatment can make a real difference.
Lymphedema is a condition where lymph fluid builds up in the body's tissues, causing persistent swelling. It commonly affects the arms or legs and may develop after surgery, cancer treatment, injury or infection. Left untreated, it can lead to discomfort, reduced mobility and an increased risk of skin infections.
Common signs of lymphedema include:
✔ Swelling in an arm or leg
✔ A feeling of heaviness or tightness
✔ Reduced flexibility or movement
✔ Clothing, shoes or jewellery feeling tighter than usual
✔ Skin that feels firm or changes over time
At Karin Stofberg Physiotherapy, we provide personalised lymphedema management to help reduce swelling, improve movement and support your long-term quality of life.
Treatment may include:
• Manual lymphatic drainage (specialised lymphatic massage)
• Compression therapy guidance
• Exercise programmes to improve lymph flow
• Education on skin care and self-management
• Ongoing support to help manage symptoms
The earlier lymphedema is identified, the better the outcome. If you've noticed persistent swelling or have recently undergone cancer treatment or surgery, don't ignore the signs.
