💛 What is Lipoedema? 💛

Lipoedema is a loose connective tissue disease that mainly affects women. It’s marked by painful, nodular fat that builds up on the hips, buttocks, and limbs — often starting or worsening during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.

🌀 This tissue isn’t like typical body fat. It’s often resistant to diet, exercise, and even bariatric surgery.

😣 It can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving, especially as the condition progresses.

⚠️ Lipoedema often occurs alongside other conditions like obesity, lymphoedema, vein issues, and joint hypermobility.

Understanding the difference is key. Lipoedema is real, and early support can make a big difference. 💬

🌸 June is Lipoedema Awareness Month 🌸

Lipoedema is a chronic, progressive condition that causes painful fat and swelling—often in the legs, hips, and arms. It’s frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed as just weight gain.

But lipoedema is real. And you are not alone.

At Flourish Therapy Adelaide, we offer gentle, respectful support for women living with lipoedema—through hands-on therapy, compression, education, and care that meets you where you are.

Let’s raise awareness, reduce stigma, and walk this path together 💜
