Now that I know what it is, I can’t WAIT to try this. Thank you! 🙏💐💕

Hi Rebekah, thank you for sharing this video.. I have never heard Rolfing... I use my fascio tools, massage gun and all helps and dry brushing.. I am blessed with my lipedema, I have never had any pain, just swelling and occasionally heavy legs.. Looking forward to next upload x❤

I usually get a pretty big detox effect from deep massage but I love myofascial release for a gentler approach with great results.

Wow, that sounds almost too good to be true! ❤

I have tried facia release on back but never in the legs. My legs are so sensitive my son was teasing me and hit my leg with a balloon and I about went through the roof. He still can’t believe I was serious and likes to tell me I’m the only person he knows that can be hurt by a balloon 😂. The Rolfing sounds very interesting and I’m sure the body becomes less traumatized by it over time, or not. Either way if it has a good outcome that is what counts. I really enjoy all of your videos.

@TheOnlyLila wow it sounds like your legs are really sensitive! Your son sounds like a jokster :D For the first few years after my diagnosis I kept my compression on during massages and would only let them touch my back - never my legs. As my inflammation came down over the years, however, I started to experiment letting people massage my legs and found it had become much more tolerable. Thank you for being part of our community!!

That's great information thank you ❤ When I first started to adress my lipedema I had huge a knobbly legs. I used a massage stick and kept massaging those hard diseased fat parts which was more painful than giving birth. I couldnt do it for long. It was so painful I cried but I kept at it and together with keto I completely dissolved these knobbely parts and also can touch my legs without pain. The pain was worth it

Hi Rebekah....Thank you for all your great vlogs, the information has been really helpful. I was wondering if your lipedema hard fat nodules under the skin have gone since you have lost weight on the keto diet? Thanks Katey

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Rolfing. Is it something a massage therapist would know about? I go monthly for regular deep tissue and I see a different therapist for MLD. I’m very interested in it though.

[@sturdywoman]

@globug45 they are usually licensed as massage therapists but undergo different training that someone who offers myofascial or deep tissue massage. If you do a google search for "rolfing near me" or "structural intergration near me" you will probably find someone. I found my person completely by accidental while looking for a regular massage. There are also directories here www.si-directory.com/ and mms.rolf.org/members/directory/rolfers_by_location.php Good luck!

Hi. Did you have Bariatric surgery?

[@sturdywoman]

@kathleenrichards7751 No, I haven't had any surgeries. You can learn more about some of the conservative treatments I have used to manage my symptoms and lose weight in my playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLGrmXtIzhSGJ8yMVrvzsS0IlDdZisLuKS

I tried rolfing. When he did my legs, I ended up with huge bruises.

Hi! Great videos! You’ve been so helpful. Can you please recommend a legging I can wear under my work pants? It gets hot and I’m on my feet all day. Thanks!
