Our Senior Physiotherapist and Lymphoedema Practitioner, Cassie Lee, combines her experience in both areas to provide a comprehensive assessment and management plan for each client. Management plans are based on individual assessment outcomes but may include lymphoedema education, skincare education, appropriate exercise programs and medical lymphatic drainage.  It may also include appropriate compression therapy including bandaging or prescription of compression garments.
