Lymphatic Drainage
and Deep Tissue Massage
for Lipedema
Combination of manual lymphatic drainage and release of fibrotic changes associated with lipedema.
Lipedema is a condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, most commonly in the buttocks, thighs, or along the entire lower limb — always symmetrically on both legs. Lipedema is a disease that primarily affects women. This condition often causes an imbalance between the upper and lower body, which can be frustrating. Proper care and a professional approach can significantly reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
The treatment process
The therapy begins in a supine position, with relaxation of the front of the neck.
This step is very important: the main lymphatic ducts are located in this area, collecting lymph from the entire body and returning it to the bloodstream. By activating these “central” areas first, the main drainage pathway is opened, allowing lymph to flow freely during leg treatment. This way, swelling is reduced more easily, and the therapy is safe and effective. Next comes diaphragm relaxation. The therapy then continues, depending on individual needs, with treatment of the legs, abdomen, or arms.
The duration of the therapy depends on the severity of the condition and the area being treated. Lymphatic drainage sessions can last 60 or 90 minutes.
