I was asked if I believe manual lymphatic drainage works or not for lipedema, and at the time I didn't have an answer. I mentioned this to my new mld therapist and she gave me a curious smile and decided to conduct her own quick study.
At the beginning of this appointment my legs were measured from the top of the foot to the top of the thigh, in 10cm increments. My appointment lasted 45 minutes and after my session, my legs were remeasured. In a few places my leg circumference was 2cm reduced and at the other marks, there was at least 1cm reduction. For 45 minutes that's a huge success and reaffirms the importance of MLD. I left that appointment relieved, my legs felt lighter and I felt hopeful.
