The MLD Clinic specializes in swelling relief from lymphedema, lipedema, cancer, and injury.

About the MLD Clinic

We specialize in swelling relief and management

Since 2002, we’ve welcomed people from across Atlantic Canada and beyond whose lives are briefly or profoundly touched by pain and swelling.


We’re focused on making a change for the better. From resolving short term pain and mobility concerns which can come with any injury or operation, to supporting those navigating the ups and downs of chronic swelling conditions.


Your wellness journey with swelling is unique. So is our integrated care model that blends MLD (manual lymphatic drainage) therapy with decongestive therapy and custom compression garments. We also offer learning and encouragement along the way. 


On life’s changing course it is reassuring to have the right help, comfort, and a clearer path forward.

relief is at hand

After assessment, Terry recommends a course of care. Your treatment plan includes therapy goals and details, and guides the pace and number of sessions.

A Vodder certified therapist since 2006, Terry’s achieved the highest level of training in manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and combined decongestive therapy. Complementary to this, he is an expert compression garment fitter trained by leading producers Medi Canada, Essity, L&R and Juzo.

Talk with Terry

Nancy, client and practice support

Nancy is the friendly, knowledgeable voice you’ll encounter when calling. Before joining the MLD Clinic, her career involved key roles with healthcare organizations in the nonprofit and association sectors. She puts that experience into action with client care support and overseeing many moving pieces that keep this busy clinic running smoothly. Away from the laptop, Nancy’s happy place is the ocean to swim, sail, or catch a sunset.
