Do you have lymphoedema or lipoedema?

Have you undergone treatment for breast cancer or any other types of cancer?

Have you developed lymphoedema or are you worried that you might?

Lymphoedema and Lipoedema are both life-long conditions that can negatively impact a person’s physical and psychological wellbeing.  Symptoms include swelling, pain, skin changes and cellulitis if sub optimally managed, which in turn can lead to a reduction in mobility and cause anxiety and issues with body image and confidence. 

The Pioneer Norfolk Lymphoedema and Lipoedema Clinic at Coastal Health and Wellbeing offers a comprehensive, holistic and empathic approach to diagnose and manage lymphoedema and lipoedema and prevent symptoms from worsening.

Services include:

• Initial Assessment and first course of Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage (MLD) £180 (90 minutes)

• MLD only sessions £120 (1 hour) / £60 (30 minutes)

• Hosiery measuring service and advice

• Teaching clients a range of self-management techniques including Simple Lymphatic Drainage (SLD)

• Lymph scanning to assess levels of fluid

 

The clinic is led by Sophie Catlin who is a registered specialist lymphoedema nurse, trained in the ‘Fill and Flush Technique’ and has worked for Pioneer Wound Healing and Lymphoedema Centres since 2021. Sophie is also a registered MLD therapist and a member of MLD UK (mlduk.org.uk)

The clinic is open every Tuesday and Thursday at Coastal Health and Wellbeing in Wells-next-the-Sea from 9am to 5pm.
