RUMBOLDS CLINIC

Manual Lymph Therapy

Rumbolds Lymph Clinic is situated on the Surrey/ Sussex border close to Haslemere/Guildford.



The primary treatment for which we are BUPA accredited involves Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Combined Decongestive Therapy(Vodder level 3). We also use Low level laser therapy to reduce any fibrosis and also promote tissue and scar healing, kinesiotape to reduce lymph swelling, and redirect lymph flow to healthy lymph vessels and nodes if they have been removed or damaged. As a secondary treatment we can apply compression bandaging as well as measure for and order compression garments.



The following are some of the main conditions treated:

• Post operative lymphoedema/lymphostasis which in the case of cancers can arise after node removal and/or radiotherapy causing swelling
