We are proud to share that our director, Hans Lutters, has been featured in this week’s Christchurch Metropol with an important article:

“The Magic Window with Breast Cancer and Lymphoedema: Hands On Clinic”

For many women facing breast cancer surgery, lymphoedema is a little-known but life-changing risk that can develop after treatment.

With early detection and new technology, there is now a powerful “window of opportunity” to significantly reduce that risk, before lymphoedema even takes hold.

At Hands On Clinic, we are passionate about:
✔️ Raising awareness
✔️ Supporting early intervention
✔️ Providing specialised lymphatic care

This article highlights how proactive care can make a real difference in long-term outcomes and quality of life.

Pick up this week’s Christchurch Metropol to read the full story and learn more about how early action can change everything.

If you or someone you know is navigating breast cancer treatment, feel free to reach out! We are here to support you every step of the way.
