Initial Assessment

An Initial Assessment is a working appointment, not a chat. In 1 hr 15 min, Kylie builds the complete picture your treatment plan will rest on — and there is time for treatment on the day.

What the assessment covers

• Your history — your condition, how it developed, surgery, medications, and anything else relevant. Kylie will also screen carefully for contraindications: the situations in which lymphatic work should be modified or avoided.
• A tissue examination — feeling the tissue consistency and skin condition, identifying congestion and possible blockages in the system.
• Your plan — what Kylie recommends, how often, for how long, what it costs, and what you can do at home. Discussed with you, not handed down.
• Treatment — assessment rarely takes the whole appointment, so most patients receive their first treatment in the same visit.

What to bring

• Your completed consultation form — download and print it here.
• Any doctor's letters. A doctor's letter is required for previous cancer patients within a five-year period of clearance, stating permission to receive Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Low Level Laser Therapy.
• Prior assessments relating to your condition.
• Any garments, bandages and products you are currently using.

After your assessment

Once your assessment is complete, treatment sessions open up to you — bookable online in 25, 50, 75 or 90-minute lengths, with Kylie combining the techniques your plan calls for in each one.
