Lymphoedema Management

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that causes swelling due to a build-up of lymphatic fluid in the body’s tissues. It occurs when the lymphatic system is damaged, blocked, or unable to drain fluid properly. The swelling most commonly affects the arms or legs, but it can also occur in other parts of the body.

  • The lymphatic system plays an important role in:
  • • Removing excess fluid from tissues
  • • Supporting the immune system
  • • Helping the body fight infection
  •  

When the lymphatic system is not functioning effectively, fluid accumulates and causes swelling, discomfort, and changes in the skin and surrounding tissues.

Common Causes

Lymphoedema may occur:

After cancer surgery or lymph node removal
Following radiation therapy
Due to trauma, injury, or infection
From venous or vascular conditions
As a hereditary or primary lymphatic condition

Common Symptoms

Persistent swelling
Heaviness or tightness in the limb
Discomfort or aching
Reduced movement or flexibility
Skin thickening or changes
Increased risk of infection such as cellulitis

Lymphoedema is a lifelong condition, but with early intervention and appropriate management, symptoms can often be well controlled.

F.A.Q.

What is the Right Treatment and Management for Lymphoedema?

Successful lymphoedema management focuses on reducing swelling, improving comfort and mobility, and preventing the condition from worsening.

Treatment may include:

Compression Therapy

Compression garments or bandaging help move fluid out of the affected area and prevent fluid from building up again. Compression is considered one of the most important parts of long-term lymphoedema management.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

A specialised gentle massage technique that encourages lymphatic flow and helps reduce swelling.

Pneumatic pump to assist lymphatic massage is also recommended if you have chronic lymphoedema problems, and daily or few times a week lymphatic massage is recommended.  

Exercise and Movement

Specific exercises can assist lymphatic circulation, improve mobility, and support overall function.

Skin Care

Good skin care helps reduce the risk of dryness, irritation, and infection.

Education and Self-Management

Patients are taught strategies to manage symptoms, monitor changes, and maintain results at home.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular review ensures garments remain effective and treatment is adjusted as needed.

Early treatment is important. Without management, lymphoedema may progress and become more difficult to control.

Why is the Right Compression Garment Important?

Compression garments provide controlled pressure to support the lymphatic and venous systems. They help maintain swelling reduction and improve day-to-day comfort and function.

A correctly fitted garment can help:

  • • Reduce and stabilise swelling
  • • Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
  • • Prevent worsening of symptoms
  • • Improve comfort and mobility
  • • Support long-term management
  • • Reduce the risk of complications and infection

However, an incorrect garment may:

  • • Be uncomfortable to wear
  • • Slip, wrinkle, or roll down
  • • Cause skin irritation or pressure damage
  • • Restrict circulation
  • • Provide ineffective compression

The correct garment type, compression level, and fit are essential for safe and effective treatment.

Why Choose a Custom-Made Compression Garment?

Not all limbs fit standard garment sizes. Swelling patterns and body shapes can vary significantly from person to person. Custom-made compression garments are individually measured and designed to fit the exact shape and needs of the patient.

Benefits of Custom-Made Garments
  • • Accurate and consistent compression
  • • Improved comfort and fit
  • • Better swelling control
  • • Increased ease of movement
  • • Greater treatment effectiveness
  • • Improved long-term compliance

Custom garments are often recommended for:

  • • Irregular limb shape
  • • Moderate to severe swelling
  • • Difficult-to-fit limbs
  • • Sensitive skin or comfort concerns
  • • Long-term or complex lymphoedema management

Professional measurement by a trained clinician is important to ensure the garment provides the correct pressure, support, and fit for optimal outcomes.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for Multiple Sclerosis

These sources investigate the use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) as a modern clinical intervention for multiple sclerosis (MS), specifically targeting the common mobility issue known as foot drop.

Research highlights how wearable FES technology, such as specialised sleeves and surface electrodes, can significantly improve gait stability, walking speed, and overall physical independence. While these devices offer a cost-effective way to enhance quality of life, the literature also identifies long-term challenges such as device stigma, sensory discomfort, and high dropout rates over five-year periods. Findings suggest that both relapsing and progressive MS subtypes can benefit from this stimulation, especially when combined with medications like dalfampridine. Ultimately, the collection emphasises that while FES provides immediate orthotic benefits, successful long-term outcomes require a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach to support patient adherence.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialised form of therapy designed to address problems related to the vestibular system, which is responsible for balance and spatial orientation. When the vestibular system is not functioning properly, it can cause a range of symptoms that affect everyday life.

  • Common symptoms that may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation include:
  • • Dizziness and vertigo
  • • Balance difficulties and unsteadiness
  • • Nausea and motion sensitivity
  • • Visual disturbances with movement
  • • Difficulty concentrating or feeling disoriented
  •  

Vestibular rehabilitation involves a thorough assessment followed by a personalised program of exercises and techniques designed to reduce symptoms, improve balance, and restore confidence in everyday movement. At My Rehab Team, our qualified Physiotherapists are experienced in assessing and treating vestibular conditions, helping clients return to the activities they enjoy.

Case Studies

Real Outcomes

Complex neurological injury of the upper limb
We saw a gentleman after a motorbike accident who sustained a severe injury to his brachial plexus which rendered him unable to move his arm.

After a nerve transfer surgery, therapy involved helping the patient to prevent the development of joint and soft tissues contractures (stiffness).

After 3 months, the patient noticed that the subluxation in his affected shoulder was a lot less.  This directed our physiotherapist to start therapy towards working on active assisted movements. The arm has now become strong enough to exercise using BedEx (frictionless mats).

Our Occupational Therapist also worked with him on 1-handed strategies at the start to enable his independence.  As his arm movement improved, we worked on progressively re-introducing functional participation of the affected arm.
Improve Walking Pattern
We saw a gentleman who had no certain diagnosis but he walked with dropped feet and severely hyperextended (bowed backwards) knees.

We trained him using an electrical stimulation system to improve his hamstring and tibialis anterior activation to help improve his walking pattern and reduce pain which he has been experiencing in his knees.
Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
We started walking training with him using a forearm support wheeled frame.  My Rehab Team physiotherapist and assistant worked with him initially at a well-equipped rehabilitation gym run by MS Queensland.

Aquatic physiotherapy was an integral part of his program as well.  And now he walks to his local pool and gym using a single crutch.  We continued to help him improve the strength of his legs, thereby improving his mobility.

Subsequently, the Occupational Therapist and the Physiotherapist worked jointly on re-training the skills involved in returning to work again.

We are highly skilled to identify the main problems.  We saw a patient who was not long discharged from the hospital after a hip fracture.  Upon further assessment, it became apparent that the patient’s main problem was his Parkinsonism symptoms.

This led our working on improving his walking and overcoming problems such as the shuffling of his feet, freezing when walking through doorways and when making turns.
