Editorial

Thank you for taking the time to read the latest issue of Physiotherapy Practice and Research.

Since our last issue, we have experienced a physically and mentally draining third wave, however there is some hope now as the country begins to open up, vaccinations are underway and summer is on the horizon.

Thank you to the hard work of our healthcare workers and academic colleagues across the globe. It is admirable to see the amount of high quality research performed during such difficult times. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to our peer reviewers for which your input remains invaluable. Thank you for giving up your precious free time to help bring this issue to light.

We have gathered together an excellent collection of contributions from nationally and internationally recognised colleagues. For this issue we have collected a number of interesting articles that also includes two editorials which should provide an insightful overview of orthotics and common conservative treatments for lymphoedema post breast cancer.

Thank you for reading Physiotherapy Practice and Research, we hope you enjoy this issue and future issues to come.
