I’m seeing more massage therapists working with swelling, post-surgical changes and “tricky” presentations — often without real lymphatic education.

Most massage training barely touches lymphoedema, lipoedema or chronic oedema, yet these clients are already walking into our clinics.

Please go gently: understanding lipoedema and why pressure matters.

As a Remedial Massage therapist we’re trained to use pressure - deep tissue, trigger points, firm strokes. And often clients expect “no pain, no gain”.

Big health changes often start with small daily habits. Drinking water, moving your body, eating real foods, sleeping well, and checking in with yourself can transform how you feel. You don’t need perfection — just consistency, patience, and kindness toward your body.
