Rehabilitation in Lipedema: Regaining Movement and Quality of Life

Lipedema Talks · Episódios

In this episode of Lipedema Talks, recorded in the context of the Lipedema Evolution 2026 congress, host Letícia Miyamoto welcomes physical therapist Mariana Milazzotto to talk about rehabilitation in lipedema. Mariana shows why seeing each patient as an individual, with a multidisciplinary eye, changes everything, from postural and biomechanical assessment to the control of pain, inflammation, and triggers such as gluten, lactose, sugar, alcohol, and processed meats. She explains how the patient is the protagonist of her own treatment, what to do at home (self-drainage, dry brushing, the calf muscle pump), and why exercise has to be progressive and adapted. She also addresses differential diagnoses and the importance of not falling for miracle solutions. Watch to understand how to regain movement and quality of life.
