HULC SUBIACO CLOSED FOR RENOVATION FROM 8 JULY – REOPENING AUGUST
We are pleased to announce that renovations of our Subiaco clinic will commence shortly. We are implementing some exciting upgrades to enhance your experience. Unfortunately this means that our Subiaco clinic will be closed from Monday 8th July for approximately 4 weeks. During this time, our therapists will continue to be available at our other clinics. Our administration team can assist you with any enquiries on 08 9334 0777. We look forward to welcoming you back to our newly renovated Subiaco clinic soon!

Lymphoedema is abnormal swelling that generally occurs in one of the arms or legs. Sometimes both arms or both legs swell. Lymphoedema is most commonly caused by the removal of, or damage to lymph nodes as a result of cancer treatment. This causes a blockage in the lymphatic system (which is part of your immune system) preventing the lymph fluid from draining well, thus leading to fluid build-up and swelling.

Lymphoedema can be managed with early diagnosis and diligent care of your affected limb, including self-management techniques and the fitting of compression garments.

All HULC therapists are trained in the prescription of custom made Jobst and Alvarex compression garments for the upper limb. Occupational Therapist Emma Simpson also provides a management service for patients with simple upper limb Lymphoedema in our Bunbury and Busselton clinics. Ellen Gulin provides this service in our metro clinics. Patients in the community who need ongoing management for their lymphoedema can be seen at HULC, who will then liaise with their specialist service for formal reviews.
