Right Fit Clinic - Massage Therapy & Medical Supply

If you live in Victoria and have Lymphedema you may have heard of Right Fit Clinic. Since 2020, Right Fit Clinic has been serving the Westshore Victoria region. 

Treating Lymphedema is easier when you have a team to help you. That is the philosophy that Jenna LaFleche, RMT, believes and it is reflected in this clinic.  

Services include CDT/MLD, acupuncture, compression garments fitting, pneumatic pump therapy (with and without compression bandaging). Also Pneumatic pump therapy with clinical exercise physiology. A clinical exercise physiologist (CEP) is specifically trained to coach exercise to “at risk” and chronically ill populations. 

Add in a registered Kinesiology, foot care nursing, diabetic and lymphedema footwear and breast prosthesis fitting to make this a “one shop stop” for people dealing with Lymphedema. 

Many times, dealing with the diagnosis and living with lymphedema can lead to a loss of self- esteem and to depression. Having someone to talk to can help deal with those feelings. 

RFC realized that this was an important puzzle piece that was needed for their lymphedema patients.  

Megan Phillion-Holmes, a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC and will soon be an RCC) has joined the team and is available to help those dealing with their issues. 

Interestingly RFC is also partnered up with Stem Cell Harvesting and Cell Banking. This is a growing field that in the future may in 10 - 20 years lead to being able to repair faulty systems including lymph nodes. 

LaFleche’s training began in 2009 while studying abroad in Munich, Germany at theStaatliche Berufsfachschule für Massage am Klinikum Großhadern. She did not rest on her laurels, continuing her education. In 2021, LaFleche joined the BCLA board and has continued to be a valuable asset, sharing her medical knowledge and donating her time.  

LaFleche firmly believes giving tools to her patients enable them to understand and cope with lymphedema. 

“Providing patients with the resources to learn self-management tools, and by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for relaxation and healing is of utmost importance,” said LeFleche. 

The Right Fit Clinic definitely is the right fit if you are dealing with lymphatic issues in Victoria.
