Lymphatic Therapy Centre

The Lymphatic Therapy Centre is a lymphatic therapy and occupational therapy practice that provides specialist services to a rapidly growing target population.

We offer lymphoedema management, advanced wound care therapies as well as general occupational therapy with a special interest in Oncology rehabilitation and palliative care. In a study conducted by the National Lymphedema Network in 2004, it reported that “universally among therapists, CDT is the most effective tool available to clinicians for the treatment and management of lymphedema.”

OTPractice uses CDT as the corner stone for therapies but in addition the lymphatic centre will offer a range of clinically recognised treatments which include:
1.Manual lymph drainage
2.Compression
3.Fabrication of garments
4.Advanced wound care
5.Rebound therapy
6.Lymphatic yoga
7.Exercise therapy
8.Specialist visits
9.Physical therapy and occupational based exercise programs
10.Support groups and telecare
11.Post oncology rehabilitation
12.Palliative Care

The Lymphatic Therapy Centre aims to provide a holistic treatment of mind, body and soul by collaborating with specialised partners in the field. All our therapists are passionate in their efforts of making a difference in the lives of individuals.
