Whether you’re recovering from surgery or exploring conservative care options, our team provides evidence-based guidance and helps you understand which compression therapies may benefit you most.
Compression Therapy Options
Compression therapy uses external pressure to support circulation and lymphatic flow. For lipedema patients, it can improve tissue comfort and provide day-to-day symptom relief.
We offer educational guidance on several forms of compression, including:
Medical-grade compression garments or adjustable wraps are worn daily to help reduce limb volume and discomfort. A professional fitting is often recommended to ensure proper effectiveness.
Pneumatic compression devices help stimulate lymphatic flow using rhythmic pressure. These can be used at home and are often prescribed postoperatively or between manual treatments.
A gentle massage technique performed by trained specialists that improves lymphatic drainage. It may be complemented by home strategies like dry brushing or low-level vibration therapy.
Each of these options can help reduce discomfort and preserve function. We will help you determine which combination of tools is right for you.
