Fluid retention & fat. Studies show compromised lymphatic function can cause cellulite, weight gain & many more issues if left unresolved.
Wondering why I keep banging on about cellulite? After all, if over 90% of women have it, it’s perfectly ‘normal’, right?
Not always.
I see all the time women who present to me with cellulite caused by fat deposits that are far more extreme than you’d expect in people of their age, activity level, and lifestyle.
One thing many of these women have in common is they complain about ‘heavy legs’ or ‘poor circulation’. It’s this poor circulation – i.e. compromised lymphatic function that causes cellulite, weight gain and so many more issues if left unresolved.
This excerpt from a recent study review explains the phenomenon: “worsened lymphatic drainage in [their] legs had fat stores that were less willing to break down and release energy both when at rest and in response to stimulation.”
The great thing is Endermologie can help.
“There is also evidence that mechanical massage (Endermologie ®) can increase the willingness of adipose tissue in the upper leg to breakdown fats, presumably by improving local microcirculation.”
