Lymphedema
Lymphedema is the abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid in affected limbs, or areas of the body. The lymphatic system moves lymph fluid throughout the body. Lymph nodes are the central operations of the lymphatic system. Lymphedema occurs when there is an interruption in the lymphatic system causing a “back up” of fluid. There are two types of Lymphedema, primary and secondary.

LipedemaWhile Lymphedema is the abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid, Lipedema is the abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue affecting the legs, hips, thighs and sometimes arms. Lipedema is a congenital condition and occurs in stages, with advance stages progressing to include the development of Lymphedema. Areas affected by Lipedema can be more sensitive to pain and bruising.
Lipedema tissue cannot be reduced through restricting calories or intense exercise. This can be frustrating to patients suffering with Lipedema. However, good nutrition and physical activity are still important to maintain health and mobility.

Compression
Pushes or moves lymph fluid out of affected area and towards central lymph system for processing out of the body. Gradient pressure applies more pressure at farthest point and then lighter pressure to allow even flow.

BAD Compression
Leaves indentations and pockets of lymph fluid.
