We love these compression leggings by Lipoelastic. They are supportive to lipoedema tender tissues and feel great to wear. The fabric can be cut to get the leg length that works for you and… they are available on prescription 💕 if you have lipoedema be sure to ask your MLD therapist to measure you up for them.

June is Lipoedema awareness month and there is a brilliant edition of Physiopods online magazine packed with important articles on Lipoedema.

Good Morning

We are sending you this special, additional issue today, in recognition of Lipoedema Awareness Month. Dedicating an extra edition to this vital cause is crucial, as it sheds light on a condition that is often misunderstood yet significantly impacts many lives.

(Our regular PhysioPod® newsmagazine will follow shortly).

Lipoedema is far more than just a physical condition; it affects every aspect of life, including how individuals perceive their bodies, manage emotions, and protect their mental health. Raising awareness is crucial not only for improving public understanding but also to address significant barriers that people with lipoedema face, such as a surprising lack of knowledge and expertise about the condition among healthcare professionals and high levels of stigma from society, as well as within the healthcare system. This month presents a critical opportunity to highlight these challenges and emphasise the importance of support networks and trust in care providers for effective self-management.

Within this special issue, drawing on recent and past articles and interviews, we explore various aspects related to Lipoedema Awareness Month. You'll find insights into ongoing research that sheds light on the complexities of living with lipoedema and intriguing studies, such as the high co-occurrence of lipoedema among fibromyalgia patients. We also explore different approaches to management, including the appeal of non-invasive DEEP OSCILLATION® for conservative care and post-liposuction support, as well as personal journeys through surgical intervention. The experiences and perspectives shared by patients and specialists alike underscore the challenges of receiving timely diagnoses and the profound emotional impact of the condition.

We want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the medical professionals who contribute their expertise and care to individuals living with lipoedema. Specifically, we are thankful for contributions from surgeons like Dr. Vasu Karri, who is known for his personalised approach, and Dr. Johanna Schreiber, who specialises in lipoedema surgery and emphasises the emotional impact of the condition and the importance of patient-centered care. The willingness of these busy experts, and others, to share their knowledge and perspectives is invaluable, especially during Lipoedema Awareness Month. We also acknowledge the bravery of individuals like Bel Hardman who story we repeat in this issue. Bel shared her personal 12-month surgical journey and its challenges and benefits, offering critical perspective to others.

We hope this special edition offers valuable information and underscores the importance of increased awareness, understanding, and support for those living with lipoedema.
