I am currently completing accredited Casley-Smith lymphoedema training, which will allow me to offer specialist, evidence-informed support for people experiencing lymphatic swelling, heaviness, discomfort, or post-surgical changes.
This advanced training will enable me to provide:
✔ Clinical Assessment of Lymphoedema & Oedema
Understanding the type, stage, and contributing factors behind swelling, including post-cancer treatment, surgery, trauma, immobility, or chronic conditions.
✔ Safe, Gentle Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Techniques
Casley-Smith training teaches targeted, effective lymphatic drainage skills to reduce swelling, improve lymph flow, and increase comfort.
✔ Compression Support & Garment Guidance
Helping you understand which compression options may be appropriate and how to use them safely and effectively.
✔ Skin Health & Infection Prevention Advice
Including evidence-based guidance to reduce the risk of cellulitis and maintain skin integrity.
✔ Exercise & Movement Strategies to Support Lymph Flow
Tailored movement and breathwork programmes that help manage swelling long term.
✔ Self-Management Tools for Daily Life
Including positioning, pacing, hydration, home techniques, and lifestyle factors that improve outcomes.
✔ Oncology-Informed Approaches
Understanding the impact of cancer treatment on the lymphatic system and offering safe adaptations for recovery.
