Targeted movement, better outcomes.

A vibration plate, like you see here, helps improve circulation, reduce swelling, and activate muscles. This helps support your physical therapy and lymphedema recovery every step of the way! 😊

Lipedema and Lymphedema may look similar, but they’re very different conditions.

Lipedema is caused by an abnormal buildup of fat, most often in women, creating symmetrical swelling in the legs or arms that’s often painful and bruises easily, but it spares the feet and hands.

Lymphedema, on the other hand, is caused by a problem in the lymphatic system, leading to fluid buildup that usually affects one side more than the other and often includes the feet or hands.

Understanding the difference is important for proper care and treatment.

How does breast cancer treatment lead to lymphedema?

Breast cancer treatment, like surgery or radiation, can affect the lymph nodes and vessels that help drain fluid from the body. When these pathways are damaged or removed, lymph fluid can’t flow properly, causing it to build up in the arm, chest, or breast area. This is called lymphedema. Early management is key to reducing swelling and discomfort.

Red light therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that can support those with lymphedema or lipedema. By using specific wavelengths of light, it helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healthier tissue. Over time, this can help decrease swelling, ease discomfort, and support skin and connective tissue health.

While it’s not a cure, red light therapy can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive management plan, alongside compression, exercise, and lymphatic care.
