Throughout Lymphoedema Awareness Month, in collaboration with The British Lymphology Society, we'll be busting some of the most common myths around lymphoedema.

Today's myth: “People with lymphoedema need to be careful about exercise”.

Any movement is a fantastic way of boosting lymphatic flow and should be a key part of your self-care routine. Build up gradually and keep an eye on your swelling.

For Louise, the swelling started after IVF, but the answers didn’t come for years.

After being dismissed and left confused, she finally received a diagnosis of primary lymphoedema and the support she needed. Since then, she has learned how to manage her condition with compression, care, and incredible resilience.

This Lymphoedema Awareness Month, Louise’s story is a reminder of how important it is to listen, raise awareness, and help people feel seen, supported, and never alone. And yes… she’s absolutely rocking the stockings. 💜

Throughout Lymphoedema Awareness Month, in collaboration with The British Lymphology Society, we'll be busting some of the most common myths around lymphoedema.

Today's myth: “Compression shouldn’t be used in very young children and babies”.

Although babies and young children can be managed without compression, each case is individual and if compression is needed, this should be under the guidance of clinicians experienced in treating babies and young children.

What first seemed like a running injury became part of a much bigger journey for Hayley.

It’s always valuable to step away from the desk and spend time with the people we support.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting the wonderful team at Katharine House Hospice in Banbury.

Spending time with their nurses and hearing about the real challenges they face day-to-day was incredibly valuable. Conversations like these help us understand where we can make the biggest difference, delivering prescription appliances to patients, while our prescription request service helps remove delays, reduce waste and cut down unnecessary admin for busy nursing teams.

But our prescription problem solving doesn’t stop there…

We also had the opportunity to gather valuable feedback on some technological advancements we’re developing to make ordering and tracking appliances even easier for nurses to support their patients- we’re excited about what’s coming next!

Thank you to the team at Katharine House Hospice for such a warm welcome.

If you’d like to understand more about why we do what we do, take a look at our patient stories for Lymphoedema Awareness Month.

Wendy’s life changed after her lymphoedema diagnosis.

What followed was a journey of learning, adapting and understanding how much day-to-day care matters , from drainage and skincare to recognising the small things that can have a big impact.

Now, Wendy is sharing her story to raise awareness, deepen understanding, and show others they are not alone.

This Lymphoedema Awareness Month, her message is simple: the more people know about lymphoedema, the more support, understanding and earlier recognition there can be. 💙
