Fibrosis & Tissue Care
Where appropriate, we address areas of firmness or fibrosis using carefully adapted techniques & technologies.
Skin & Tissue Assessment
We assess skin integrity, tenderness levels, mobility, fluid presentation and overall tissue response before beginning treatment.

Individualised Treatment Planning
-
Gentle Manual Lymphatic Drainage techniques are used to encourage lymphatic movement, helping to reduce the sensation of heaviness and visible fluid accumulation commonly experienced with lipoedema.

By supporting circulation and easing tissue congestion, treatment may help reduce discomfort and improve ease of movement, particularly in areas affected by tenderness or swelling.
-
Post-operative lymphatic support can assist with managing swelling, reducing fibrosis, assessment for seroma potential, encouraging fluid reabsorption and supporting safe, structured healing in collaboration with your surgical team.

Targeted techniques, including the use of Therapeutic Electrostatic Oscillation where appropriate, & Medical grade LED may help soften areas of firmness or fibrosis and improve tissue pliability over time.
