Dutch Lipoedema Guidelines

Dutch Lipoedema Guidelines

One frustrating part of learning about lipedema is that it is much better known in Europe than in America. Luckily, many documents have been translated into English. One very detailed document providing plenty of information in lipedema / lipoedema / lipedeem is the Dutch Lipoedema Guideline.

Low Impact Exercise for Lipedema

Low Impact Exercise for Lipedema

by Kathleen Lisson, CLT

As a Certified Lymphedema Therapist and an ACE certified personal trainer, I know the importance of exercise in everyone's life, especially when we need to reduce swelling. I would like to share a great workout video that focuses on joint movements which will help to move lymphatic fluid in the legs for ladies with lipedema / lipoedema and lipoedeem. 

The facts about lipedema still apply - lipedema adipose tissue is resistant to diet and exercise, so this workout will not reduce your lipoedema fat.

It will help your lymphatic system to move lymphatic fluid out of your legs using joint movements and the calf pump and possibly reduce swelling. If you have compression garments, you can do the workout with your garments on.

Lipedema Treatment in San Diego

Last spring I helped Michelle, a lady with lipedema, reduce her post-op swelling after she received liposuction on her legs and arms in Beverly Hills, CA. San Diego is a popular vacation destination and only a few hours from Beverly Hills.

Michelle's testimonial:

"Kathleen was extremely knowledgeable and gentle during my lipedema MLD session.
I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
