Happy International Women's Day.

Lipoedema UK, and the amazing women running it, are changing lives and raising awareness of a condition that affects many women. Women who have blamed themselves for years.

Thankfully, this is changing.

Happy International Women’s Day 🩷

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience and voices of women everywhere, including the many women living with lipoedema.

Too many people spend years trying to understand their symptoms or find the right support. That’s why raising awareness and building a supportive community is so important.

At Lipoedema UK, we are proud to support women by sharing information, raising awareness and helping people feel supported on their journey.

💬 We’d love to hear from you:
What message or advice would you share with another woman living with lipoedema? Let us know in the comments...

Great day in London at the National Lymphoedema Conference.

Great speakers and it's always good to do some networking, seeing people you don't get to see very often.

Love what I do ❤️

Now for a well earned holiday 😎

With Vodder, Foeldi and LTA Fill and Flush training, I can tick three of the four.
It's always been important to me to have the proper qualifications, staying up-to-date and being registered with a governing body that holds me and others accountable. This helps keep the standards high and, most importantly, keeps patients safe.

MLDUK believes that to ensure that the highest standards of Manual Lymphatic Drainage are maintained, practice should be confined to those who have undertaken, or who are undertaking, training through these four schools or their accredited teachers.

Yay, my new air conditioning unit was delivered yesterday. The old one was not coping anymore.

Client comfort is, of course, important, but it's about more than that.

Correct Manual Lymph Drainage should not be done with oil.

This means the temperature must be right. Clammy skin (and clammy hands) means I can't move my hands on the skin properly. If I'm using deep oscillation, the contact is broken and it doesn't work.

However, that's now not an issue, as the room is just the right temperature. 👌

Another day of education at the MLDuk study day.

You never stop learning.

Looking forward to an interesting day learning with some of the best. Haddenham Advanced Study Day 2025.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a very gentle, light touch massage that improves the ability of the body’s lymphatic system to cleanse from the inside out. Specific and gentle movements of the skin stimulate and increase the rate of removal of waste products, toxins, and excess fluid from the body’s tissues resulting in:
■ clearer and cleaner skin
■ reduced puffiness around the eyes
■ improves the appearance of cellulite
■ reduced fluid retention
■ improved skin tone
