The lymphatic system helps the body remove fluids and waste substances from the tissues. When its function is disrupted, fluid accumulates and swelling develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It most commonly appears in the arm, such as after breast surgery, in the leg, or even in the face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main symptoms include swelling in the arm or leg, a feeling of heaviness or tightness, hardening of the skin, restricted movement, as well as sensitivity or frequent inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lymphedema is a chronic condition; however, with proper and systematic treatment, it can be effectively controlled and everyday life can be significantly improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Lipedema<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lipedema is a chronic condition involving the abnormal accumulation of fat, mainly in the legs and, in some cases, in the arms. It appears primarily in women and is often confused with obesity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is characterized by a symmetrical increase in volume in the lower limbs, pain when pressure is applied, easy bruising, a feeling of heaviness and reduced response to diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proper diagnosis and specialized support are essential for reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we can help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At PhysioRaum, we apply specialized techniques to reduce swelling and pain, with the aim of achieving meaningful improvement in functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle and painless technique that helps the body remove accumulated fluid and reduce swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decongestive bandaging contributes to the gradual reduction of swelling and helps maintain the result over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therapeutic exercise includes specially designed exercises that activate lymphatic circulation, improve mobility and reduce the feeling of heaviness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, gentle physiotherapy techniques help relieve pain and reduce pressure on the tissues, improving overall functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Education and guidance are a key part of the treatment, as we provide clear instructions for proper care, prevention of complications and management of the condition in everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal is to provide meaningful relief and real improvement in the everyday life of people dealing with lymphedema or lipedema. Through specialized decongestive techniques, pain management and personalized treatment programs, we aim to reduce swelling, relieve the feeling of heaviness and improve mobility and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every person is unique. For this reason, we approach each case with care, respect and scientific responsibility, designing a treatment plan adapted to their needs and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u03a3\u03ba\u03bf\u03c0\u03cc\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bc\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf \u03b7 \u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03ce\u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c4\u03c9\u03bd \u03c3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03c4\u03c9\u03bc\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd, \u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03ac \u03b7 \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03bf\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03ae\u03c1\u03b9\u03be\u03b7 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b7 \u03b5\u03bd\u03af\u03c3\u03c7\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u03cc\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b6\u03c9\u03ae\u03c2, \u03ce\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5 \u03ba\u03ac\u03b8\u03b5 \u03b8\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03c5\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b1\u03b9\u03c3\u03b8\u03ac\u03bd\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c3\u03c6\u03ac\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1, \u03c6\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03af\u03b4\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u03bf\u03c0\u03b5\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bd\u03cc\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03ac \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u03a4\u03b9 \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c4\u03bf \u039b\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03bf\u03af\u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 \u03a4\u03bf \u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03bf\u03af\u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u03c0\u03c1\u03ae\u03be\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03cc\u03c4\u03b1\u03bd \u03c4\u03bf \u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03c3\u03cd\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd \u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af \u03c3\u03c9\u03c3\u03c4\u03ac. \u03a4\u03bf \u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03c6\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03c3\u03cd\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1 \u03b2\u03bf\u03b7\u03b8\u03ac \u03c4\u03bf\u03bd \u03bf\u03c1\u03b3\u03b1\u03bd\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03bc\u03b1\u03ba\u03c1\u03cd\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c5\u03b3\u03c1\u03ac \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03ac\u03c7\u03c1\u03b7\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03af\u03b5\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\u03c2. \u038c\u03c4\u03b1\u03bd \u03b7 \u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03af\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03c7\u03b8\u03b5\u03af, \u03c4\u03bf \u03c5\u03b3\u03c1\u03cc \u03c3\u03c5\u03c3\u03c3\u03c9\u03c1\u03b5\u03cd\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bf\u03af\u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1. \u0395\u03bc\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03cc\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf \u03c7\u03ad\u03c1\u03b9, \u03cc\u03c0\u03c9\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03ac \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af\u03bf \u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03cd, \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf \u03c0\u03cc\u03b4\u03b9 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":27,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"dipi_cpt_category":[10],"class_list":["post-32","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","dipi_cpt_category-physio"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/32","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/32\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":348,"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/32\/revisions\/348"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dipi_cpt_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/physioraum.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dipi_cpt_category?post=32"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
