Expert Lymphoedema Treatment in London
Targeted care for lymphatic swelling and fluid retention. Our London clinic offers personalised treatment for all stages of lymphoedema, supporting comfort and long-term management.Â
What Is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema can quietly creep into everyday lifeâstarting as mild swelling in the arms or legs and gradually becoming a source of discomfort, heaviness, or even pain.Â
This chronic condition develops when the lymphatic system doesnât work as it should, causing lymph fluid to build up in the bodyâs tissues because it canât drain away properly.
Often linked to cancer treatments, infections, injuries, or inherited issues, lymphoedema is more common than many realise.Â
But with early diagnosis and the right treatment plan, it can be managed effectively. Our dedicated lymphoedema team combines traditional therapies with advanced techniques to help reduce swelling, restore comfort, and support long-term relief.
What Can Lymphedema Treatment Help With?
At our London-based outpatient clinic, we offer expert treatment for a wide range of lymphoedema-related conditions:
- Primary and Secondary Lymphoedema
- Cancer-related Lymphoedema
- Chronic swelling in arms or legs
- Symptoms of lymphoedema including heaviness, tightness, and pain
- Lymph fluid build-up following surgery or radiation
We support people in the UK with tailored therapy to treat the underlying cause of your swelling and manage your symptoms effectively.
How Our Lymphedema Treatment Works
Our specialist lymphoedema treatment approach is comprehensive and gentle. We use the gold standard of care known as Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy (DLT). This includes:
- Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD): Encourages lymph fluid to move around the affected area.
- Compression Therapy: Wearing compression garments and daily bandaging.
- Exercise Therapy: Exercise is important to move the fluid and reduce the risk of developing complications.
- Skin Care Guidance: Learn how to look after your skin to prevent fluid retention and infection.
Additional therapies may include low-level laser therapy and intermittent pneumatic compression. Your treatment plan will be personalised to reduce the volume of swelling and manage symptoms for the long term.
