LIPOEDEMA MANAGEMENT
How can we help you with your Lipoedema management?
Lipoedema is often mistaken for obesity or lymphoedema and sometimes it is possible that lymphoedema can co-exist with lipoedema (lipo-lymphoedema). It is important to obtain a correct diagnosis so that you can be proactive in the management of your symptoms.
Lymphatic drainage and massage can help reduce the heaviness felt in limbs (upper and lower), assist with pain management and combined with some simple at-home strategies, help you to continue to feel the benefits following your massage therapy treatment.
The important components of Lipoedema management include:
-
Education
-
Healthy eating and weight management
-
Physical activity and improving mobility
-
Skin care and protection
-
Pain management
-
Compression therapy
At your first consultation - your therapist will discuss with you the severity of your symptoms, the degree of tissue involvement (skin induration or areas of subcutaneous thickening or fibrosis) and whether your lipoedema has progressed to lipo-lymphoedema.
An individual treatment plan will be discussed in consultation with you and may involve a combination of remedial massage, lymphatic drainage and, if clinically indicated, photobiomodulation therapy (Low level laser therapy – LLLT)
