Lymphoedema
Lymphoedema is a form of swelling tissue that is caused by a blockage in the lympatic system. Understanding the difference between Primary and Secondary Lymphoedema is crucial, and this comes down to what has damaged the lymphatic system and how. There are 4 main areas of Lymphoedema management.
Lipoedema
Lipoedema is a genetic condition that causes an abnormal buildup of fat and connective tissue in the body. It is a condition that mainly affects women, with symptoms usually beginning around puberty or at other times of hormonal change. These changes then trigger the development of excess fat in the legs, buttocks, and sometimes the arms.

“I am writing this on behalf of my 92 year old mother who has been in receipt of excellent support from your Lymphoedema team. For the last year and a half Pioneer has been working tirelessly with the very challenging oedema in my mothers arm and hand. At present, visiting us at home twice a week in an attempt to reduce the size of mums arm and hand. I am pleased to say that this is successful and its probably smaller than at any time during treatment which is purely due to Pioneers dedication and ability to think ‘out of the box’ in how to tackle the difficulties….”
