Connecta Health

After a mastectomy, your body is dealing with scar tissue, lymphatic disruption, shoulder restriction, and radiation effects.

At Connecta, our team addresses it from every angle:

→ MPS Scar Release Therapy supports healing at the scar site, reducing sensitivity, releasing restrictions, and working through every layer of tissue.

→ Vodder-trained physiotherapy addresses what surgery leaves behind — lymphedema prevention, shoulder mobility, and oncology rehab.

Together, we treat the whole picture, not just one piece of it.

If you’re post-mastectomy and haven’t had your scar or lymphatic system looked at, this is your sign.

Compression bandaging is the most important part of lymphedema treatment.

Without properly fitted, medical-grade compression, the fluid returns, and you’re right back to square one.
Complete Decongestive Therapy requires all 4 pillars to work together. This is why a Vodder-trained specialist matters.

At Connecta Health, Elizabeth provides this approach. Let’s address your lymphedema today.

Lymphedema can develop months, or years, after cancer treatment ends.

When cancer treatment ends, most people assume the physical effects do too, but for many cancer survivors, that is when things start to show up:
• Swelling in the arms, hands, legs, or trunk,
• A heaviness or achiness that wasn’t there before,
• Skin that feels tight or full,
• Clothes, rings, or shoes feel like they are fitting differently.

This is a clinical condition that responds well to early intervention, not just a “part of recovery.”

At the clinic, Elizabeth specializes in post-cancer lymphedema and sees patients at every stage, including those who finished treatment years ago and are just now seeing changes.

If you or someone you love has been through cancer treatment, oncology physiotherapy can help cancer survivors recover from the physical effects of treatment.

Swelling. Scar tissue. Radiation effects. Movement restrictions. Returning to exercise safely.

Elizabeth specializes in exactly this — and sees patients at every stage of recovery, whether treatment ended last month or several years ago. Book a consult with her!

Did you know that specialized physical recovery support exists for cancer patients?

A lot of people finish cancer treatment without being told that physio could help them.

At Connecta, our team treats:

• Lymphedema, swelling caused by lymph node removal or radiation
• Scar tissue, mobilization to restore movement and reduce restrictions
• Post-surgical stiffness and limited range of motion
• Side effects from radiation that can linger or get worse over time

It’s never too late to get support. We treat patients who have finished treatment recently or several years ago.

Lymphedema swelling can be subtle:

• A limb that feels heavier than usual
• Skin that feels tight or full
• Jewellery, sleeves or footwear fitting differently
• Achiness that comes and goes
• A feeling of pressure under the skin

If you’ve had cancer treatment that involved removing your lymph nodes or radiation, it’s worth getting it assessed.

Early intervention is key, and the sooner is identified and treated, the easier it is to manage long-term.

Book a consult with Elizabeth and get a full assessment, with a complete decongestive therapy.

Ever heard the term “modality” and just nodded along?
Modality = treatment method.

Manual therapy, lymphatic drainage, scar release—those are all modalities (types of treatment). But here’s the thing: your body doesn’t exist in silos.

Your shoulder pain might be tied to old scar tissue. Your digestive issues might stem from pelvic floor dysfunction. Your lymphedema might need compression therapy, manual drainage and scar work from your cancer surgery.

That’s why we have multiple therapists with different specialties who work TOGETHER. We connect the dots between your symptoms — because healing one part often requires treating another.

Care that connects the dots, only at Connecta Health.

This post is for you if you’ve ever been told “it’s just swelling” but won’t go away.

isn’t your fault. It’s your lymphatic system working overtime to move 4-8L of fluid daily through a compromised system. When it can’t keep up? Swelling builds.

The 4 pillars of lymphedema management:

1. Compression
2. Skin care
3. Movement
4. Manual drainage

Head to our blog to read the full breakdown of all 4 pillars and what lymphedema management looks like.
