About Kirtida
Lymphoedema is a condition that mainly affects the limbs though it can also affect other areas of the body. This can be caused by cancer treatment such as surgery and radiotherapy to the lymph nodes. This condition can also be due a congenital problem of the lymphatics, which can be a very debilitating condition, if not managed and treated correctly.
Kirtida is also trained in manual lymphatic drainage both with the Casley Smith and Leduc techniques of drainage. This is widely recognised and it is an effective method of management for lymphoedema. Unfortunately, there is limited availability nationally of manual lymphatic drainage due to lack of practitioners and expertise.
Whilst Kirtida specialises in lymphoedema, she also continues to work in breast oncology and currently runs the breast family history service, looking at evaluating the risk of breast cancer in families in addition to the genetic risk level.
Kirtida is proud to host her clinics at the Good Health Centre for people who have lymphoedema due to cancer treatments.
If you feel that you may need any lymphoedema treatment you can contact Kirtida directly for an initial consultation on Kirtidapatel01@gmail.com or 07802431434.
Kirtida is recognised by various health insurance companies, please note you would require a GP or a consultant referral in order to gain treatment from Kirtida.
What our patients say
James Fletcher2024-04-12I started seeing Josh last year in preparation of my first marathon. I'm a big believer that prevention is better than the cure and I felt I was carrying a few minor ailments. I see him every 6-8 weeks and discuss my current training and niggles which he works on resolving and suggests different exercises and stretches to improve moving forward. Following the sessions I feel more flexible and balanced and I'm training for my second marathon. I'd highly recommend the Good Health Centre and Josh. He's a great osteopath and person!
Chris Dietz2024-04-11Josh is an excellent osteopath (with physiotherapy experience). He is a keen runner and so has great insight into running injuries. When I first went to see him I had been misdiagnosed twice and was feeling quite helpless. In our first session he diagnosed me with an adductor tendinopathy and gave me a rehab plan that developed through our sessions. After a handful of appointments I am back running and will definitely be back for checkups to avoid future injuries. I would recommend Josh to anyone with a running injury. 💯
Jessica2024-04-10Currently seeing osteopath here who is lovely and very soothing touch with my sciatica. I've been popping so many painkillers as the pain in my leg has been so extreme. I'm hoping she can cure my bad sciatica altogether... Well worth the price not to mess your stomach up from all those painkillers!!
john whitehead2024-04-05Great clinic. Quick appointments. My treatment from osteopath Ioannis is excellent. Don't think I'll need to go back, but have made an appointment just in case. Highly recommended
