Meet your therapist
Tamryn Riemann
With over 15 years of experience in lymphoedema, lipoedema, and hand therapy, I've had the privilege of serving patients both locally and internationally. Originally from South Africa, my journey in this field has been driven by a genuine desire to make a meaningful impact on patient care and outcomes, particularly in managing conditions like lipoedema that are often misunderstood.
Between South Africa and Sydney, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with internationally renowned surgeons and therapists. These experiences broaden my understanding of the intricacies of lipoedema management and hand therapy and further fuel my passion for improving patient outcomes.
Relocating from Melbourne to Sydney, specifically the HILLS/HORNSBY SHIRE area, has allowed me to continue my practice in a new setting, bringing with me a commitment to serving the community with compassion and dedication.
In addition to my clinical work, I'm honored to serve as a Clinical Advisor for Haddenham Healthcare, where I have the opportunity to support therapists across Australia in their efforts to provide the best possible care to their patients. This role underscores my ongoing commitment to learning and improving standards within our field.
I'm deeply grateful for the trust and support of those who have allowed me to be a part of their healing journey. It's a privilege I never take for granted.
