YOur treatment
What to expect at your appointment?
An initial consultation lasts 60 minutes with a focus on conducting a thorough assessment including medical history, lifestyle, goals and objective measures, allowing ur team to develop a treatment plan specifically tailored to you.
For patients at risk of developing lymphoedema, we monitor for pre-clinical signs with bioimpedance spectroscopy using the SOZO unit.
Our oasis is a safe space for you to raise concerns and ask questions about your treatment, your condition and your progress.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Wearing comfortable, loose clothing that provides access to the affected limb is essential. We will provide towels/coverings for the duration of your appointment, and there is a changing room within the treatment space for your comfort. Jewellery will have to be removed for your appointments. We provide laser-safe glasses, which must be worn for the duration of treatment.
Please always bring your Medicare card, Health Fund card and any previously fitted compression garments.
Our treatments
Multi-wave Lock System (MLS) Laser Therapy
The MLS Laser, developed by ASA LAser, is a Class IV medical-grade therapeutic device different from the lasers associated with cosmetic procedures.
This breakthrough technology in photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) combines two different wavelengths into a high-powered emission without any invasive measures or pain, allowing light energy to penetrate deeply into the tissue without causing damage to the surrounding area.
Your laser therapy program will be customised to best support you, alongside manual lymphatic drainage, appropriate compression, graduated exercise and manual therapy, where appropriate.
Benefits of Using MLS® for Lymphoedema
- Non-invasive and pain-free application
- Reduces pain and discomfort without medication
- Promotes wound healing through cell proliferation and regeneration
- Reduces swelling and inflammation
Beyond managing physical symptoms, the guiding philosophy of Leading Light Rehab is to create a safe space, an oasis on your recovery journey, support emotional well-being and help our patients regain confidence and independence in their daily lives. Whether recovering from cancer, trauma, or surgery, MLS® can significantly improve quality of life and support a more complete and sustainable recovery.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphoedema is one of the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment, involving a chronic accumulation of protein-rich extracellular fluid which manifests as swelling that often does not resolve with the elevation.
The gold standard for its management remains to complex decongestive therapy, including manual lymphatic drainage.
It involves a gentle massage that re-directs the flow of lymphatic fluid from blocked lymphatic pathways towards central circulation, reducing the pain, heaviness, tissue changes associated with chronic swelling.

Compression therapy refers to an exernal garment or device used to contain the affected limb. It can include:
- Daytime compression garments
- Night-time compression wear
- Sequential intermittent pneumatic compression (SIPC) devices
A detailed conversation with a lymphoedema therapist will determine which garments best suit your condition, your goals and your lifestyle.
