At massage.yeah, supporting our Lymphoedema patients is a vital part of what we do. As we recognise Lymphoedema Awareness Month this March, we want to honour all those who live with this chronic condition and the amazing organisations that provide help and support, both in Australia and internationally. These organisations include:
Lymphoedema Association Australia Their mission is to ensure people living with lymphoedema get the information, treatment, and support they need to live well, no matter where they are. Get involved or donate here.
Australasian Lymphology Association (ALA) The ALA is dedicated to promoting the advancement of lymphology in Australasia. They strive to improve the management of lymphoedema and enhance communication between health professionals, educators, authorities, and government bodies regarding oedemas and lymphoedema. Find a practitioner or learn more about ALA here.
LKN Foundation The LKN Foundation provides essential information on lymphoedema self-care for those affected by Lymphatic Filariasis and Podoconiosis-related lymphoedema. Become a sponsor or learn more here.
Though lymphoedema is not curable, we can halt its progression through the right treatment and self-care. Let’s unite to raise awareness and ensure resources reach those who need them!
