Ever feel like your legs hold weight that won’t go away, no matter what you try?

For many people, that can actually be a sign of lipedema, a condition that’s often misunderstood or mistaken for normal weight gain.

Some common signs include:

• Fat buildup in the legs or arms that appears evenly on both sides
• Pain or tenderness in the affected areas
• Bruising easily
• Fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise

Many people live with lipedema for years before getting answers.

At Dash Physical Therapy, we provide specialized physical therapy for people living with lipedema and lymphedema.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, specialized care can help. Email us to learn more about treatment options!
