Coping with Lymphoedema

[naominorthenellis]

I regularly read the posts on the site and am frustrated that so many people are left in the dark to manage their condition. I have primary bilateral lymphoedema and am fortunate that it is mild, although having reached the age of 45 before it was diagnosed; my legs are a mess. Those who manage to see amazing professionals like Professor Mortimer are so lucky; as indeed are those who can either afford regular MLD treatments or better still; get them on the NHS. The only thing i get through the NHS are my compression garments and i pay for everything else. HOWEVER, I do use the Lympha-Press several times a week though and it is AMAZING. Once again I am plugging my business - but the only reason i have this business is because i have lymphoedema and as a result of constantly looking for somethig I found this great product that I now import into the UK and Ireland. In the USA; this is the machine of choice that is given to the patients with lymphoedema to manage their condition (through their medi card system); and is widely used across the rest of the world. We have changed the name of the business to COMPRESSION THERAPY UK LTD - new website is coming but email if you want more information. [e-mail]

Honestly; I couldn't be without it and whilst i won't publish them on a public site; i have lots of endorsement from clients who now use the therapy.

Is the press a similar type of machine to the hydroven from Huntleigh

[naominorthenellis]

Hi, it is more sophisticated; with many more cells in the garments and the ability to control pressure in each cell; sequential compression; never allowing any backflow of fluids. the garments fit over the trunk of the body ensuring that you get the massage in the abdominal area and; if your lymphoedema is in the legs and you need the trousers; then deep into the inguinal nodes in the groin. where are you based in the UK? feel free to email me privately : [e-mail] for more details and to book a time to try it..

Hi Naomi, I really need to know whether this fantastic piece of equipment is available,or can be adapted to help with lymphoedema in the arms? Thats what I have. I've been looking for something like this since I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Thanks for your time.

Hi SpangleFox; you would need the full jacket to treat both of your arms. please feel free to contact me on my email [e-mail] and i will send more details. NNE

Hi Bigleg; I am sorry; you have lost me! Compression Therapy UK Limited was indeed incorporated in the UK in August 2013. We have simply spun off the medical products form Body Brilliant Solutions to a business name that makes much more sense to the medical world and the many people who suffer from lymphoedema. all very straightforward. I will change my account details to reflect the corporate name change.

Please remember that it is important to seek advice from your practitioners to ensure any product is appropriate for you before purchasing

this is very sound advice from LSN and we work with MLD therapists on a regular basis.
