💛 What is Lipoedema? 💛

Lipoedema is a loose connective tissue disease that mainly affects women. It’s marked by painful, nodular fat that builds up on the hips, buttocks, and limbs — often starting or worsening during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.

🌀 This tissue isn’t like typical body fat. It’s often resistant to diet, exercise, and even bariatric surgery.

😣 It can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving, especially as the condition progresses.

⚠️ Lipoedema often occurs alongside other conditions like obesity, lymphoedema, vein issues, and joint hypermobility.

Understanding the difference is key. Lipoedema is real, and early support can make a big difference. 💬

🌸 June is Lipoedema Awareness Month 🌸

Lipoedema is a chronic, progressive condition that causes painful fat and swelling—often in the legs, hips, and arms. It’s frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed as just weight gain.

But lipoedema is real. And you are not alone.

At Flourish Therapy Adelaide, we offer gentle, respectful support for women living with lipoedema—through hands-on therapy, compression, education, and care that meets you where you are.

Let’s raise awareness, reduce stigma, and walk this path together 💜

Hello,

As our new service is ready and treating I would like to introduce myself....🖐
I'm Kirsty Kirkland, Physio & Lymph Therapist here at Flourish Therapy Adelaide.

I am a physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience in hospital and community physiotherapy and am excited to now focus on cancer rehabilitation, lymph therapy, and lipoedema management.

Supporting family members who have had cancer exposed me to the uncertainty and challenges facing the growing number of people who are given this diagnosis.

Qualification as an accredited lymphoedema therapist followed my training in cancer rehabilitation and deepened my interest in the treatment of scar tissue.

I feel my years of varied experience have given me a unique set of skills to help support people with complex health diagnoses maintain their life roles and quality of life.

I look forward to providing home and community-based treatments in the western suburbs as well as an inner-city collaboration (more on that to come...)
