La Bella Physio

I'm really pleased and truly honoured to have completed my Lymphoedema Training with Jane Wigg and her incredible team at the Lymphoedema Training Academy.🙌🏻

It was a privilege to learn from such experienced professionals and deepen my knowledge in the assessment and management of lymphoedema.

Supporting patients with lymphatic conditions, including those recovering from cancer treatment, requires specialised knowledge and a compassionate approach. I am committed to continuing to develop these skills.

I am grateful for this learning journey and excited to bring this knowledge to my patients.

Your surgery is only 50% of the journey🌿.

Many patients believe the hardest part is over once they leave the operating theatre. In reality, your post-operative recovery plays a crucial role in the final outcome of your surgery.

After plastic surgery, the body goes through an inflammatory process that can cause swelling, fluid retention, pain and discomfort. When not managed correctly, this may delay healing and increase the risk of fibrosis.

Specialist Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is not a luxury, it is an essential part of safe and effective post-operative rehabilitation.

- Helps reduce swelling and discomfort
- Supports tissue healing
- Helps prevent fibrosis
- Promotes a smoother recovery
- Enhances the final surgical result

This treatment must always be gentle and performed by a qualified specialist.

As a Chartered Physiotherapist specialised in post-operative care, I provide personalised treatment plans tailored to your surgery and recovery stage, always prioritising safety and long-term results.

👉🏻✨What is your pain quietly stealing from you?

For many people, pain doesn’t just hurt. It limits, delays, interrupts and slowly takes away the moments that matter most.

You may have already missed:
• Your Sunday run
• Playing freely with your children
• A holiday you postponed (again)
• Getting back to the gym with confidence
• Sleeping through the night without pain
• Feeling like yourself again

👩🏻‍⚕️With the right physiotherapy, you can restore movement, confidence and quality of life. One step at a time.

🌿 About Me & My Approach to Physiotherapy

If there is one thing I’ve learnt throughout my career as physiotherapist is that no two bodies are the same. Every person I see brings their own history, their own healing journey and their own pace. Each body responds differently, and that’s exactly why personalised care matters🌟.

This is why I don’t use ready-made protocols 📝.
I observe, assess, listen and understand what each person needs. Only then do I create a treatment plan tailored to you, in that moment.

I support patients with:
- Post-operative care
- Specialised lymphatic drainage
- Pregnancy and postnatal physiotherapy
- Musculoskeletal rehabilitation (MSK)
- Recovery and return to activity
- Ongoing body care and wellbeing

💆🏻‍♀️Everyone deserves a treatment that is made to measure. A treatment that respects your individuality, your body and your journey.

✨ They may look similar, but they are completely different conditions.

🔹 Lipoedema is a chronic disorder of fat distribution, mainly affecting women. It causes symmetrical enlargement of the hips, legs (and sometimes arms), pain, and easy bruising, generally affecting both legs while the feet remain unaffected.

🔹 Lymphoedema, on the other hand, is caused by a dysfunction in the lymphatic system, leading to fluid accumulation, swelling, and heaviness, usually starting in one limb and including the feet.

Understanding the difference is essential for proper diagnosis and management.

👩🏻‍⚕️ I provide specialised physiotherapy to support patients living with both conditions, helping to relieve discomfort, reduce swelling, and improve mobility and rehabilitation.

⚕️ Always consult your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

✨ Post-surgery recovery comes with many myths. Believing them can slow down your healing process or even increase the risk of complications.

💡 Swipe through this post to discover the most common myths & truths about lymphatic drainage and post-operative care.

With the right guidance and specialised techniques, it’s possible to:
✔️ Prevent complications such as fibrosis and seromas
✔️ Reduce discomfort and swelling
✔️ Improve mobility and circulation
✔️ Support a safer and more effective recovery

🌸 Remember: every body heals differently. That’s why personalised post-surgical care makes all the difference.

📍 I provide specialised post-surgery treatment.

✨ Why lymphatic drainage matters after mastectomy?

In many breast cancer surgeries, lymph nodes in the armpit (axillary nodes) are removed to prevent the spread of disease. While this step is vital, it can also reduce the body’s ability to drain lymph fluid on that side, sometimes leading to swelling (lymphoedema) in the arm or chest.

💡 Gentle manual lymphatic drainage, performed by a physiotherapist trained in post-surgical care, helps redirect fluid through alternative pathways, reduces discomfort, and supports recovery.

🌸 Every body responds differently after surgery, which is why individualised care is so important.
