What does the evidence really say about Intermittent Pneumatic Compression—and how do we use it well?
In this episode, Maree is joined by Dr Jen Sanderson, Physiotherapist and Clinical Lead at Medi-Rent, to explore the foundations of IPC in lymphoedema care. With a PhD focused on lymphoedema tissue composition and a strong interest in chronic disease, Jen brings deep insight into the role of assessment in guiding effective treatment. Together, they unpack the current evidence, discuss practical clinical decision-making, and explore how to tailor IPC protocols, pressure, duration, and frequency, to individual needs. If you’re looking to apply IPC with greater confidence and clarity, this episode is for you.
