❌It shouldn’t be painful to wear Compression garments❌

A common myth our lymphoedema therapists hear:
“Wearing Compression garments is quite painful & it’s okay and quite normal for them to be painful 😣”

❌WRONG! This is completely incorrect.

Wearing Compression garments should not cause pain.

If you are finding that wearing your garments is painful then this is a result of them not being fitted correctly & you need to discuss this immediately with your lymphoedema therapist!

🩵 LYMPHOEDEMA AWARENESS MONTH 🩵

Did you know there are SO many compression garments, for every part of the body! It’s not a one size fits all. This is why having an accredited lymphoedema therapist is so important. Taking the time to assess what is suitable for you, consideration of your medical history, measuring to ensure correct fit, understanding your lifestyle and the impact.

Lymphoedema Awareness Week begins today.

This week, we come together under one shared purpose. Improving outcomes for people living with lymphatic health conditions.

In 2026, Lymphoedema Awareness Week highlights Lymphoedema Care in Practice - shining a spotlight on the breadth, depth and diversity of lymphoedema care delivered across Australasia.

Under the theme ‘United in Care. Diverse in Practice.’, this year’s campaign recognises the highly trained and accredited professionals working across a wide range of roles, settings and specialties. While our practice environments and focus areas may vary, we are united by a shared commitment.

Different roles. Different pathways. One commitment to best practice care.

We encourage all members to proudly display the Lymphoedema Awareness Week 2026 poster (arriving imminently, if not already in your mailbox) within your workplace, clinic, hospital or university setting, and to repost/share our social media graphics on your platform.

Displaying the poster and sharing the social media graphic is a simple but powerful way to:

• Raise awareness of lymphoedema care
• Highlight your professional role
• Start important conversations within your workplace and community

United in Care. Diverse in Practice.
