Therapy for lipedema. Incorporating new clinical guidelines
In November 2020 Lymphoedema Education Solutions published an article about the new European consensus document on lipoedema. This included a copy of an excellent interview with Tobias Bertsch that was published in the Canadian Lymphoedema Frameworks Pathways publication.
This has been followed by an article published in the Winter 2020 Pathways publication written by Guenter Klose. This article explores guidelines for the treatment of PURE lipedema. He highlights the importance of not only treating the physical symptoms s but also the psychological issues that are often associated with the condition.
