Hypoxi for Lipedema?
by Kathleen Lisson
Hypoxi is a low impact exercise intervention using advanced vacuum and compression technology. It's more popular outside the United States, but there are a few Hypoxi centers in the United States.
The difficulty with recommending it as a lipedema treatment is similar to other treatments - there are such a low percentage of people with an actual lipedema diagnosis in the United States, it is hard to recruit participants for a controlled study. It is hard to know if the product works only on cellulite or if it is affecting lipedema fat.
The Personal Trainer-style job at this business is called a Hypoxi Coach.

This link has information on a small, unpublished study involving lipedema patients. http://hypoxi-lipoedema.com/great-result-of-the-hypoxi-lipoedema-study. I AM interested in the effect that this type of exercise intervention has on pain levels.
