We hosts In-Person Support Groups at our clinic:
2406 Blue Ridge Road, Suite 190, Raleigh, NC 27607. This is open to everyone!
6:00pm – 7:30pm
Lymphedema Support Group: Third Thursday of ODD months (Jan, March, May, July, Sept, Nov)
Lipedema Support Group: Second Tuesday of EVEN months (Feb, April, June, Aug, Oct, Dec)
This is for individuals who have been diagnosed or think they have similar symptoms, and their loved ones. These meetings provide a safe and judgement-free environment to allow one another to confide in each other, learn more about these diagnoses, provide positive self-management techniques, and meet others going through a similar health journey.
These meetings will be run by Certified Lymphedema Therapist employed by NCPT – that way no misinformation will be spread! We also plan to have special guests to answer other questions (Vascular Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Nutritionist, Psychologist, etc). We will provide light refreshments, but please feel free to bring dinner or other snacks.
We will start each meeting moving our bodies and/or expanding our minds, examples: going for a walk, gratitude journaling, seated exercises, gentle yoga, mindfulness practices, stretch routine, meditation, etc. We will have different variations to accommodate everyone – and if you don’t feel like joining in – no worries at all, your presence is enough.
These groups are completely free! RSVP below, so we know how many to expect:
