Ideas to discuss with your lymphoedema therapist
Consider discussing the suggestions in this FREE booklet with your lymphoedema therapist to enhance your self-management journey. Every individual’s needs are unique, so collaborating with your clinician is essential to tailor the right approach for you. Haddenham Healthcare recommends seeking guidance from a qualified lymphoedema clinician for diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care to ensure your management plan aligns with your needs and goals. We understand that everyone’s challenges are unique, which is why we provide resources to help you develop healthy habits and improve self-management, taking one step at a time.
Feel better, one step at a time
How we feel is influenced by our actions, thoughts, and emotions. While some days may be better than others, even small steps towards self-care can make a difference, especially when managing a condition like lymphoedema. When dealing with health challenges, it’s natural to feel uncertain or frustrated about where to begin. Rather than focusing on what’s beyond your control, it’s important to recognise the simple things you can do to feel better at your own pace. Haddenham Healthcare’s Feel Good campaign is committed to supporting therapists in empowering you to take an active role in managing lymphoedema. By working closely with your therapist and implementing manageable changes, you can enhance your well-being and gain greater control over your condition.
Small steps, positive impact
Managing lymphoedema can feel overwhelming. Incorporating small, achievable actions into your routine—like gentle movement, staying hydrated, or caring for your skin—can help your lymphatic system function better and reduce the risk of complications. It’s okay if some days are harder than others; every small effort adds up over time.
