Services Provided at Our Clinic
Services are provided by a Certified Lymphedema Therapist and Registered Nurse, practicing within the scope of nursing practice in British Columbia.
Services are delivered based on clinical assessment findings and, where required, appropriate medical referral. Services are intended to support and complement—rather than replace—care provided by physicians, physiotherapists, or other regulated healthcare professionals.
Our nursing-led services focus on safe, evidence-informed management and education to support long-term self-care and risk reduction.
Nursing Lymphedema Assessment & Management
Our clinic provides nursing-led lymphedema assessment, education, and ongoing management for individuals living with, or at risk of, lymphedema or chronic edema. Services are delivered by a Registered Nurse with post-licensure certification in lymphedema care, practicing within the standards and scope established by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM).
Services may include:
- Comprehensive nursing assessment and clinical monitoring
- Objective limb measurements and evaluation of swelling
- Skin and tissue integrity assessment and infection-risk education
- Nursing guidance on safe compression therapy and garment use
- Education on self-management strategies, positioning, and safe movement
- Development of an individualized care plan
- Ongoing education and support to reduce risk and maintain long-term management
All services are provided in accordance with professional nursing standards in British Columbia and are intended to support medical management, reinforce patient education, and promote safe, long-term self-care. Care is delivered in collaboration with your healthcare team and does not replace physician or physiotherapy services.

Physician Referral & Insurance Coverage
A physician or nurse practitioner referral or prescription (Rx) may be required for extended health insurance reimbursement, depending on the insurer and individual policy.
Insurance coverage varies by plan. When coverage is available, we provide the clinical documentation typically required by insurers to support reimbursement.

- Uncontrolled or untreated congestive heart failure
- Other medical conditions requiring physician clearance
All contraindications and precautions are reviewed prior to initiating services to ensure safety and appropriateness of care.
