A healthy lifestyle, compression, manual lymphatic drainage, and liposuction can slow the progression.  Typical to women, 1 in 10 women have lipedema, but most receive a diagnosis after years of seeking help.

Stay tuned for further blog posts on diseases and conditions that benefit from manual lymphatic drainage massage, the research, and the latest recommendations to stay informed.
