FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1: Do I need a referral?
No. Although this option is available, not everyone can get into their GP/NP for a referral. At the Lymph Lab, one of our values is accessibility to quality Lymphoedema care, and we want to keep it simple.
2. Does Manual Lymphatic Drainage/Biocompression hurt?
No. In fact, it feels relaxing and restorative. Like all of our services, our approach to performing such specific techniques is individualised and taylored to each persons comfort and therapeutic needs.
3. Do I need to keep coming back?
Initially yes, particularly if there is new Lymphoedema or if your care requires specific and targeted therapies. However, we have a shared goal of maintaining your independence, and through our sessions, we provide you with easy tips and ongoing education to enable you and your carers to self manage at home.
