💜 What Is Lipedema — and Why It’s Not Your Fault
Have you ever noticed that your legs or arms feel heavy, tender, or bruise easily, no matter how healthy you eat or how much you move?
It might not be “just weight gain.” It could be lipedema — a real medical condition that affects the way your body stores fat and handles fluid.
Lipedema happens when:
The tiny blood vessels leak fluid into the tissues
The lymphatic system (your body’s drain) gets overworked
Fat cells grow abnormally and cause pain, swelling, and sensitivity
It’s genetic, hormone-related, and not caused by overeating or lack of exercise.
In fact, most people with lipedema have been told to “just lose weight,” when what they really need is specialized care.
🌿 The good news:
With the right treatment — like Manual Lymphatic Drainage, compression therapy, gentle movement, and self-care — you can reduce pain, manage swelling, and feel more comfortable in your body.
💫 At Topp Lymphatics Therapy Services, I help women understand and manage conditions like lipedema and lymphedema through education, empowerment, and evidence-based care.
If this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone — and you deserve answers, not shame.
