The first consultation will be primary an individual assessment. Proper measuring, fitting and garment choice will be part of the first consultation. These are essential for optimal therapeutic outcomes. Compression garments should feel comfortable but it may take a few days to adjust to the pressure.
The edema therapist will recommend how long to wait before seeing you again and this will depend on your individual circumstances. Your next appointment will be arranged with you at the reception desk.
