Hi, I’m Shannon Al Samaraie, the principal therapist at Flow Lymphoedema, located in the northern Brisbane suburb of Gaythorne. With 20 years of experience as a physiotherapist, I specialise in lymphoedema care, and I’ve had the privilege of working across musculoskeletal, community, and cardiac physiotherapy.
My passion for helping people navigate the challenges of lymphoedema began during my time working in community and aged care, where I saw firsthand the profound impact that proper treatment and support can have. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care, and I’m always striving to stay at the forefront of the latest developments in lymphoedema management.
At Flow Lymphoedema, I’m proud to offer personalised treatment plans to help you manage your condition with confidence and comfort, empowering you to live your life to the fullest.
