Oncology Rehabilitation Team Leader & LymphoedemaAbout
Claire graduated in 2008 and spent years in the public health service, developing acute breast surgery services. Claire is also involved in teaching modules offered by Pinc & Steel International Cancer Rehabilitation.
She trained to be a Lymphoedema Therapist in 2011 and guest lectured at AUT to future physiotherapists. Claire has been involved with AUT physiotherapy students in their research projects regarding Axillary Web Syndrome (an issue that can be present after breast surgery.)
In 2019 Claire was asked to present in a webinar hosted by Breast Cancer New Zealand, titled: "Living with Lymphoedema." In the last three years Claire has worked with Canopy Cancer Care to develop a client information video for cancer rehabilitation, along with a webinar for the Cancer Society NZ regarding the benenfits of exercise; she was also asked to speak on the Newshub AM Show about lymphatic massage.
Claire attended the first head and neck lymphoedema certification course offered at Macquarie University in Australia in 2022; she has since presented her own head and neck research at New Zealand's biggest scientific gathering: the Queenstown Research Week: Lymphatics in Health and Disease conference.
Claire has a special interest in head and neck cancer rehabilitation and has provided training to other therapists on this topic through the Pinc & Steel Cancer Rehabilitation Trust. Claire heads up our cancer rehabilitation team.

These services may be useful to you, you can ask your therapist for more information or check the websites provided in the link below:

Lymphoedema therapy
This is different to providing massage alone. Certified Lymphoedema therapists are trained to assess the body site that has the issue and to identify other factors that may be contributing to your lymphoedema. This includes incorporating self-management strategies such as exercise, skin care, and what type of compression would best suit the affected area, we can also refer to nutritionists and counsellors to help you regain control and make lifestyle changes. We assist you in preventing and managing exacerbations, along with communicating with the other members of your health care team, including your GP, nurse specialist, oncologist, and surgeon to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.
