Yes. Although lymphedema is a chronic condition, specialized physical therapy can help reduce swelling, improve mobility, and alleviate the feeling of heaviness.
Lymphedema is a disorder of the lymphatic system, whereas lipedema is a disease of the adipose tissue. Although they can occur together, their treatments differ.
Lipedema is a chronic condition affecting adipose tissue, so there is no cure. However, with proper treatment, quality of life can be significantly improved.
The treatment plan typically includes adapted exercise, the use of compression stockings, and an anti-inflammatory diet supervised by specialized professionals.
In pure lipedema, drainage does not reduce swelling. It can, however, be helpful if there is associated lymphedema or to alleviate the feeling of heaviness.
The diagnosis is usually made by a medical specialist, such as a vascular surgeon or a lymphologist. Treatment may then include specialized physical therapy.
Lipedema typically presents as disproportionate swelling in the legs or arms, accompanied by pain or tenderness. The diagnosis must be made by a medical specialist.

Manual lymphatic drainage is a technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to improve lymph circulation, reduce swelling, and promote recovery after surgery or injury.
It may be recommended for cases of lymphedema, post-surgical care following cosmetic surgery, fluid retention, or inflammatory conditions.
Lymphatic drainage helps reduce swelling, promotes the reabsorption of bruises, and prevents fibrosis, contributing to a better recovery.
Several sessions are generally recommended during the first few weeks after surgery, with subsequent sessions spaced out depending on the patient’s progress.

No. In clinical Pilates, the sessions are led by a physical therapist and focus on movement control and functional recovery.
Not necessarily. In clinical Pilates, the exercises are tailored to each individual based on their injury, range of motion, and pain level.

In-home physical therapy is designed for people who prefer to receive treatment at home or who have difficulty traveling to a clinic.
It is a common choice for seniors, patients with limited mobility, or people who want to avoid traveling and save time.
It can also be very useful for those passing through the Castellón area and the coast, for example, while on vacation in an apartment, at a campground, or traveling in a trailer or RV.
In these cases, treatment is performed using a portable treatment table and the same techniques used in the clinic.
Each session lasts a full 60 minutes. This allows us to conduct the assessment, administer treatment, and review progress without rushing.
That isn't necessary. The physical therapist can conduct their own assessment to determine the appropriate course of treatment. If necessary, they will recommend that you see the appropriate specialist.
If you have X-rays, MRIs, or medical reports, we recommend that you bring them with you. They can help us better understand your condition and tailor your treatment.
My approach is based primarily on manual therapy and ongoing support throughout the process. The goal is to relieve pain, but also to help each person understand their body and take an active role in their recovery.
We do not work directly with insurance companies. You pay for the session at the time of your visit, and if your insurance covers the cost, you can request an invoice to file a claim.
It depends on the individual case and the condition. Some symptoms improve after just a few sessions, while others require longer-term treatment.
