Conservative Management on a Budget for Lipoedema

An important aspect of treatment for all people with Lipoedema, whether considering a surgical pathway or not, is conservative management. However, feedback from our community shows that this can be a costly and time-consuming process. Based on this, our first Online Awareness Event for 2023 is a free webinar, co-hosted by Kimmi Katte, Clinical Nutritionist and Susan Butcher, Lymphoedema Therapist, who will discuss cost-effective and time-saving solutions for nutrition, compression and exercise.

The session will run for approximately ninety minutes, allowing for thirty minutes of question time at the end. For the best chance to have your query answered, submit it beforehand to us via direct message. Just bring a notebook and pen to this online session and register via Eventbrite to secure your spot. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/conservative-management-on-a-budget-for-lipoedema-tickets-528090732597
