We regret to inform you that we will need to postpone our Lymphoedema Self-Management Workshop on 8th March 2020 due to the current health risks associated with the Coronavirus / COVID-2019. We will reschedule the class once we are clear of this.
Please see our blog post, or contact us for further details.
This highly interactive set of classes directed toward home care, will promote independence, and empower patients with essential self-care techniques.
The Lymphoedema Self-Management Workshop consists of 2 hands-on classes. In the morning we'll concentrate on the arm, breast and upper body; and in the afternoon we'll focus on the leg, pelvis and lower body. Between the two, there'll be a discussion and information session.
Arm, Breast & Upper Body Lymphoedema Care
10:00am–12:00pm
Fee: $60*
A practical session on self-bandaging, self-taping for scars and fibrosis, and massage for the arms, chest, and upper body. We’ll discuss and demonstrate how to measure for and choose suitable garments. We'll also show essential self-management techniques, how to monitor your progress, and how to take the necessary measures to prevent or manage any swelling issues. Easy-to-follow techniques are matched with tips on aromatherapy.
Lymphoedema Awareness Presentation
12:30pm–1:30pm
Fee: $30*
A seminar on the causes, different stages and types of lymphoedema, including the following:
• Recent findings and developments on Lymphoedema.
• Lymphoedema correction surgery: pros and cons.
• Lifestyle changes: what makes Lymphoedema better, or worse.
• Learning to adapt: look for signs and risks.
• Cellulitis: risks and effects post-cellulitis.
• Differentiation between Primary Lymphoedema and Lipedema.
Leg, Pelvis & Lower Body Lymphoedema Care
2:00pm–4:30pm
Fee: $75*
Another practical session on self-bandaging and massage, similar to the 10am session, but focused on the lower body. We’ll demonstrate self-taping for the abdominal and pelvic region, and cover footwear and arch supports to help with plantar swelling. As with the upper body practical, Veronica will teach you quick, easy-to-follow, and highly effective self-management techniques. These are paired with calming aromatherapy recommendations so you can naturally enjoy a better quality of life.
