Monica Conway

The Bio-Health Centre was established in 1998 shortly after Monica returned home after living and nursing overseas for 20 years. Monica’s aspirations are that all patients living with Lymphoedema get early intervention to enable them to live life comfortably. As a Health Care Professional for many years, Monica progressed to qualified in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) and Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) in 2002 after training at the Dr Vodder School in Austria. In 2013 MSC in Lymphoedema Practice. Having a passion in the area of care of patients suffering from Lymphoedema, Lipoedema and related conditions, Monica went on to achieve a Master’s Degree in Lymphoedema Practice at Bradford University and graduated in 2013 (the first and only in Ireland). This qualification enables Monica to not only treat your condition but to give you a conclusive diagnosis. At the Bio-Health Centre there are a range of therapies available that enhance the flow of lymph drainage including the use of Deep Tissue Oscillation Therapy in conjunction with traditional MLD and CDT followed by the application of Kinesio Tape. Monica is a trained fitter of many ranges of compression garments, these include both ready-to-wear and custom fitted. Other therapies available include Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Advance Orthopaedic Massage. As Monica has a keen interest in sharing her knowledge with other therapists, she holds the position of Director of Education and Learning in MLD Ireland.
