Frequently Asked Questions

No. Firstly you risk sharing your germs with the therapist and the therapist also comes into contact with other people and puts those clients at risk also.

Secondly, when you are being massaged, lymph is being circulated around your body. In simple terms the therapist will be pushing the sickness around your body which will make you feel worse, not better. The pressure, heat and movement puts your circulatory and immune systems under more pressure while you unwell.

Please reschedule your appointment when you have fully recovered.

Depending on whether you book a 60- or 90-minute treatment, that is how long the treatment is for.

The treatment includes the whole experience. From arriving, assessing, treating and reassessing.

Depending on what reasons you have come in to receive the treatment will all depend on the length of time needed to assess etc. It is the therapists goal to give you as much massage time as they can, considering the other elements.

Yes. The health summary form is important to have all the details that are necessary to ensure all measures and precautions are taken in your treatment. The form will outline any health issues or medications the therapists need to be aware of. It will also have space for an emergency contact and what the reasons are that you are requiring a massage.

There will also be a section where health fund details can be filled, this will help the online process of rebates easier.

You can also safely save CC details into your form and payments can be processed this way after each treatment.

This is very dependent on what issue you are having treated at the time and your therapist can discuss this at the time of your appointments.

Regular appointments will benefit your long term wellness goals. There's not always time to work sufficiently on the whole body and different areas will need focus at various times. Massage is an investment for your overall health.

You choose what you'd like to wear during your treatment. The amount of clothing removed is dependent on what you are comfortable with and towels are always used to ensure appropriate draping so that you can be assured privacy.

In any situation, it is important that you always keep underwear on.

 MLD is not a cure for lymphoedema or lip oedema. These are chronic conditions that require ongoing management.

The goal of treatment is to help manage swelling and discomfort, support lymphatic flow and help you develop strategies that you can continue at home.

 Compression garments are specially designed medical garments that provide graduated pressure to help manage and contain swelling.

They can come in many different forms, including stockings, sleeves, gloves, shorts, leggings, bras, vests and other specialised garments. They may be ready-to-wear or custom-made, depending on your individual shape and needs.

 This varies from person to person and depends on your condition, swelling and treatment plan.

Your healthcare or lymphoedema practitioner will advise you on when and how long to wear your garment. Compression garments are generally used as part of ongoing management rather than as a short-term treatment.

 There isn't one set schedule that suits everyone.

Your treatment frequency will depend on your individual needs, how your body responds to treatment and whether you are experiencing active swelling or are working towards ongoing maintenance.

We can review your progress together and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

 Absolutely. Your treatment doesn't stop when your appointment ends.

Gentle movement and exercise, appropriate skin care, self-management techniques and following your recommended compression plan can all play an important role in managing lymphoedema.

I'll provide guidance that is appropriate for you and your condition so you can feel confident supporting your lymphatic health at home.

 MLD may form part of a supportive management plan for people with lipoedema. Compression, movement and other self-management strategies may also be used depending on your individual presentation.

Because lipoedema can sometimes occur alongside lymphoedema, having an appropriate diagnosis and individual treatment plan is important.

 If you have been diagnosed with lymphoedema, lipoedema or another condition causing swelling, please provide as much relevant information as possible on your health intake form.

If you have unexplained swelling or are unsure what is causing your symptoms, it is important to speak with your GP or appropriate healthcare professional for assessment and diagnosis before treatment.

 Sudden changes in swelling, redness, warmth, increased pain or feeling generally unwell can be signs of infection such as cellulitis and should be assessed promptly by a medical professional.

Please let me know about any changes to your health before your appointment so I can make sure treatment is appropriate and safe for you.

 Your first appointment will allow us to discuss your concerns, health history, swelling and treatment goals.

You'll also complete a detailed health summary form so I can understand your individual circumstances and determine whether decongestive lymphatic treatment is appropriate for you.

From there, we'll develop a treatment approach that is suited to you, your body and your needs.

I'm continually building my knowledge, resources and connections within the lymphatic therapy and compression community.

As I am new to offering compression support within my practice, I won't rush you into purchasing a garment. Where appropriate, I will work alongside experienced compression representatives and suppliers to help ensure measurements, garment selection and fitting are done correctly.

My priority is simple — I want you to feel supported, informed and confident that you're investing in the right option for your individual needs.
