Results 😍

This lady with lipodema came for 4 sessions. Her right leg was bigger before the sessions but both legs are now nearly the same volume.
She lost over 2 litres from her right leg!

Right leg volume before 17934mls, after 15705mls. Total lost 2229mls/12.4%. Wow!
Left leg volume before 16690mls, after 15822mls. Total lost 868mls/5.2%.

A lovely review from a recent client 😊

I first made enquiries about MLD massage in June 2026 after suffering with heavy ‘fat’ legs for as long as I can remember. I could lose weight & inches everywhere except my legs. My doctor had just shrugged off my concerns in the past.

When I first met Theresa she confirmed I suffered from Lipodema and MLD would help. I booked in for a course of 4 treatments.

At my first appointment my legs were measured in 15 places. After a couple of sessions I felt like my jeans & shorts were a bit looser around my thighs but I didn’t want to get excited in case it was in my head!!

After my fourth session Theresa measured my legs again and I’d lost 11.2% volume from my right leg and 10.5% from my left - I’m delighted with these results.

Each massage was very relaxing and obviously doing good at the same time.

I highly recommend Lympho Touch and will continue with ‘maintenance’ sessions in the future and the course before holidays.

Thank you so much Theresa 😊

THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM & LIPODEMA
Why your legs may feel heavier at night than they did in the morning.

The lymphatic system is part of your body’s natural drainage network. It helps move excess fluid, proteins, and waste products out of tissues and back into circulation.

In lipodema, this system can become overwhelmed.

As abnormal fat tissue grows, it may place additional stress on nearby lymphatic vessels. Over time, fluid can begin to accumulate between cells, contributing to symptoms such as:

🔹 Heaviness in the legs or arms
🔹 Swelling that worsens throughout the day
🔹 Tightness or pressure in the tissues
🔹 Fatigue and discomfort
🔹 Increased tenderness and pain

This does not mean the lymphatic system is failing. It means it may be working harder than normal.

Many people with lipodema notice:
✔ Legs that feel heavier by evening
✔ Difficulty standing for long periods
✔ Increased swelling during hot weather
✔ Temporary relief from elevation, movement, compression, or lymphatic support

Understanding the relationship between lipedema and the lymphatic system helps explain why symptoms can fluctuate from day to day.

Remember

Your body is not working against you.

Your lymphatic system may be carrying a heavier load than it was designed to handle.

Understanding is the first step toward better care and greater self-compassion.

Many women with Lipodema first notice something unusual around their knees, not just larger legs, but a distinct fold or “shelf” of fat forming above or around the kneecap.

This happens because Lipodema causes abnormal subcutaneous fat accumulation in a symmetrical pattern, most commonly affecting the hips, thighs, knees, and legs while often sparing the feet. Unlike ordinary weight gain, the fat distribution is disproportionate and resistant to diet or exercise.

As Lipodema progresses, fat tissue may build heavily around the inner knee and above the joint. Over time, this can create a visible overhang or lobule that changes the natural contour of the leg. Medical staging descriptions of Lipodema specifically recognize folds and fat extrusions around the knees as a common physical sign in more advanced stages.

Importantly, this “knee shelf” usually comes from fat tissue under the skin not from swelling inside the knee joint itself. That distinction matters because many people are incorrectly told they simply have obesity or arthritis, delaying proper recognition of Lipodema.

The extra tissue around the knees may also affect movement. Many patients report heaviness, friction while walking, instability, discomfort climbing stairs, or difficulty standing for long periods. Some even lose the visible shape of the kneecap entirely as fat accumulates around the joint.

Another important clue is symmetry. In Lipodema, both legs are typically affected in a similar pattern. The tissue may also feel tender, nodular, fibrotic, or painful to pressure. Easy bruising and worsening symptoms during hormonal changes are also frequently reported clinical features.

Because Lipodema is still underdiagnosed, many women spend years believing their knee shape is simply due to being “overweight,” even when weight loss changes the upper body but not the legs. Recognizing characteristic signs, especially fat buildup around the knees can help support earlier diagnosis, symptom management, and better mobility outcomes. Do your knees have this “shelf” or overhang appearance? YES or NO 👇
