Move Your Legs with Confidence.
Lower Leg Assessment Clinic
If you are experiencing swelling, heaviness, tightness, or pain in your lower legs, these symptoms may be related to fluid buildup or problems with circulation in your legs.
Our approach focuses on reducing swelling, improving comfort, and supporting long-term edema control through comprehensive assessment, decompression support, and compression therapy guidance. We assess for underlying conditions such as lymphedema, lipedema, and vascular insufficiency, while also evaluating circulation, neurological function, and skin integrity as part of a complete lower limb assessment.
What sets our clinic apart is our nurse-led model, providing timely access to care without long wait times. Initial assessments are completed in clinic to ensure a thorough and accurate evaluation, with the option for ongoing in-home follow-up as needed. We deliver practical, individualized care plans designed to fit into your daily routine, with a focus on early intervention, prevention, and ongoing support.
We work collaboratively with your physician and other healthcare providers, and can provide assessment reports and updates as needed to support your ongoing care.
If you are unsure where to start, we recommend booking an Initial Lower Leg Assessment—your nurse will complete a thorough evaluation and guide your care from there.

Your first visit is a comprehensive, in-clinic assessment focused on understanding your symptoms and identifying what may be contributing to them.
Many people live with ongoing swelling, heaviness, skin changes, or discomfort without knowing why it’s happening or what will help. You do not need to have a diagnosis or know what type of care you need before booking—this assessment is designed to give you clarity and direction.
