Exercise and Lipoedema

Exercise leads to a robust inflammatory response mainly characterized by the mobilization of leukocytes and an increase in circulating inflammatory mediators. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in regulating the inflammatory response. Lymphatic vessels become enlarged and inflames the tissues.

Treatments

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) helps eliminate your body’s waste using a light massage. Normally a healthy, active lymphatic system, uses the natural movements of the muscle tissue to drain the inflammation. MLD removes excess fluid that is built up and assist with recovery.

Laser Treatment is a handheld low-level laser. This is classified as Class I and is safe for your lymphatic system and muscles. It reduces hardened fibrotic tissue and scar tissue, reduce swelling and inflammation, improve mobility and skin condition. It can be used as an individual treatment for muscle pain and soft tissue injuries

Compression Pump Therapy is a safe, and effective way to assist your body’s circulatory system in moving the excess fluid, which has accumulated in the limb which causes swelling, and inflammation after exercise.

Benefits

Our compression treatments act almost like a low-level massage, putting pressure on muscles to minimize delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Compression raises the temperature of the skin and tissues. This then increases blood flow and promote healing, the same way that heat therapy does.
