Hands On Clinic

We are proud to share that our director, Hans Lutters, has been featured in this week’s Christchurch Metropol with an important article:

“The Magic Window with Breast Cancer and Lymphoedema: Hands On Clinic”

For many women facing breast cancer surgery, lymphoedema is a little-known but life-changing risk that can develop after treatment.

With early detection and new technology, there is now a powerful “window of opportunity” to significantly reduce that risk, before lymphoedema even takes hold.

At Hands On Clinic, we are passionate about:
✔️ Raising awareness
✔️ Supporting early intervention
✔️ Providing specialised lymphatic care

This article highlights how proactive care can make a real difference in long-term outcomes and quality of life.

Pick up this week’s Christchurch Metropol to read the full story and learn more about how early action can change everything.

If you or someone you know is navigating breast cancer treatment, feel free to reach out! We are here to support you every step of the way.

NEW MLD COURSE DATES FOR 2025!

* MLD LEVEL 1: 7-9 FEBRUARY
* MLD LEVEL 2: 7-9 MARCH

In the last two decades Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) has become an increasingly popular treatment modality in health clinics, hospitals and the beauty industry. It also gained importance as a complementary addition to already existing modalities such as massage therapy, physiotherapy and beauty therapy.

In order to cater for this increasing demand Hands On Clinic developed unique 3- day courses based on the treatment method of Casley-Smith. This method has proven to be highly effective and beneficial for patients and easy to adapt for professional therapists.

All our courses are recognised by the Massage Atearoa New Zealand (MANZ). Credit hours will be rewarded for ongoing professional development.

We still have places left for both courses. For more information, go to our website: www.handsonclinic.co.nz/education/courses/
