Let's make compression more comfortable.💪

💡Try these tips and tricks💡:
1. Wear grip gloves for easier application and prevent damage to the garments.

2. Use a grip pad/ mat to slip on the garment around the ankle - especially if you have poor grip strength to pull the garment around the ankle.

3. Use a slip on aid - usually included in the garment packaging. It facilitates easier application onto foot/ankle. It looks like a sock.

4.Moisturized skin - make sure that you apply lotions at night or a good amount of time before putting on your garments.

5. Silicone bordering will prevent the garment from sliding down.

6. Correct donning technique is important and each person should be taught how to apply their garments as independently as possible.

✨Compression does not have to be struggle. Incorporating the correct strategies will make your compression routine so much easier.

Reach out to an lymphoedema therapist for further information.
