40 years post–breast cancer treatment 💗

After full axillary clearance and radiation, this client has lived with breast cancer–related lymphoedema.

One round of compression bandaging + manual lymphatic drainage in session has already made a visible difference 🙌

Next steps ➡️ ongoing bandaging to reduce swelling before fitting a day compression sleeve and night compression garment for long-term comfort and control.

Consistency = control = comfort = confidence 🌸

Your reminder to take charge of your breast health:
1️⃣ Know your normal – every body is different.
2️⃣ Self-check monthly – get familiar with how your breasts look and feel.
3️⃣ Report any changes – don’t wait, trust your instincts.
4️⃣ Schedule regular screenings – early detection saves lives.

💗 From The Lymphoedema Lounge, we’re here to support you every step.

🎉 The Lymphoedema Lounge Turns 4! 🎉

I can hardly believe it’s been 4 years since The Lymphoedema Lounge began. My dream was to create a space that didn’t feel medical — a place where people could receive high-quality, evidence-based treatment grounded in years of experience, while also feeling compassion, warmth, and genuine care. A space that feels safe and welcoming, and one that reflects the incredible skills and knowledge of our team 💕

To my amazing team — thank you for showing up every single day with so much heart. You put everything into helping our patients feel supported, seen, and cared for, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built together. Running a business isn’t easy, but having a team like ours makes every challenge worth it.

To our wonderful referrers, thank you for trusting us and for helping people find the care they need.

And to our patients — thank you for believing in us and allowing us to be part of your journey. You are truly the reason we do what we do.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of The Lounge’s story so far. Here’s to the next chapter 🥂💖

Happy 4th Birthday to The Lymphoedema Lounge! x Hannah

☀️ As the weather heats up, you might notice your swelling feels worse. Warmer days can make lymphoedema more challenging to manage — but that’s where compression comes in.

At The Lymphoedema Lounge, we’re specialists in:
✔️ Measuring & fitting compression garments
✔️ Prescribing the right level of support for you
✔️ Helping you feel confident with a wide range of colours & patterns

Compression isn’t just about comfort — it’s essential for:
✨ Controlling swelling
✨ Reducing infection risk
✨ Lowering your risk of DVT

Looking after your lymphatic health means staying consistent — especially in summer. 💙

📊 Evidence So Far
* Breast cancer-related lymphoedema: Small trials suggest vibration + drainage may improve arm volume and symptom relief (though evidence is mixed and still at pilot-study stage).
* Lipoedema: Very little direct research — but anecdotal reports and extrapolated data suggest vibration helps reduce pain, swelling, and tissue tightness when used alongside compression and exercise.
* Safety: Generally safe at low frequency (10–30 Hz) and low amplitude, but not recommended for:
* Active cancer
* Acute infection or cellulitis
* Uncontrolled cardiovascular disease
* Recent DVT  
Here’s a breakdown of how vibration plates may work on the lymphatic system and inflammation:

1. Mechanical Pumping for Lymph Flow
👉 For lymphoedema: this may reduce stagnation and assist decongestion. 👉 For lipoedema: it doesn’t reduce fat, but may help with symptoms of fluid retention and heaviness.

2. Improved Circulation & Microvascular Function
* Vibration increases blood flow by dilating capillaries and enhancing shear stress on vessel walls.
* Better circulation reduces tissue hypoxia and supports metabolic exchange, indirectly helping lymphatic drainage.

3. Effects on Inflammation
* Research shows vibration can modulate inflammatory cytokines
* Animal models with metabolic or vascular dysfunction show reduced chronic inflammation after vibration exposure.
👉 For lymphoedema: less inflammatory signalling may slow fibrosis and skin changes. 👉 For lipoedema: could help with the pain, tenderness, and low-grade inflammation linked to adipose tissue and microvascular fragility.

4. Neuromuscular and Connective Tissue Benefits
* Stimulates muscle pump action, enhancing lymphatic return.
* May reduce tissue stiffness and improve fascial glide, which is often impaired in both lymphoedema and lipoedema.
* Some small studies show reduced limb heaviness, better mobility, and less discomfort.
