Lipedema Awareness Month Ends Today — But Your Healing Journey Can Start Now

6/30/2025

0 Comments

 
As June comes to a close, so does Lipedema Awareness Month—but for those living with lipedema, the journey toward better health and mobility continues year-round.
Lipedema is a chronic and often painful condition that primarily affects women, leading to the abnormal accumulation of fat, usually in the legs, hips, and arms. It’s often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, which is why raising awareness is so critical.
One of the most effective ways to manage lipedema is by working with a Certified Lymphatic Therapist (CLT)—someone trained to address the lymphatic system’s role in this condition. As a CLT and Registered Massage Therapist, I offer support to help you feel more comfortable in your body, reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and regain control of your daily life.
How a Certified Lymphatic Therapist Can Help with Lipedema:
  1. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
    This gentle, rhythmic technique encourages healthy lymph flow and helps reduce the swelling and heaviness often associated with lipedema.
  2. Compression Guidance
    I can help you find and fit compression garments that work for your unique body, which are essential in supporting tissue health and reducing progression.
  3. Treatment Planning
    Every person with lipedema is different. I work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and symptoms.
  4. Education & Support
    Understanding your condition is empowering. I’ll walk you through the “why” behind every approach and connect you with resources like Lipedema Canada for community and advocacy.

Let’s Build Your Plan TogetherYou don’t have to wait until next June to prioritize your health. Lipedema Awareness Month may end today, June 30, but your path to feeling better can begin right now.
