Wellness Clinic in The Hills: Lymphatic Drainage and Fluid Retention
Looking for lymphatic drainage in The Hills? Innoshape offers lymphatic drainage and fluid retention treatments.
The lymphatic system is our body’s secondary circulatory system, comprising of a vast network of vessels. Its primary functions are to maintain body fluid levels, remove toxins and wastes, as well as carry fatty acids away from the intestines. This is why it is also called our body’s ‘sewerage system.’ In addition, the lymphatic system plays a vital role in producing immune cells to fight unwanted invaders. Therefore, although it is not as well known as the cardiovascular circulatory system, the lymphatic system is crucial for our overall health. For more information, watch this 9-min video explaining the lymphatic system.
A healthy lymphatic system depends on having a smooth lymph circulation. When this circulation slows down, blockages, toxins and fluid retention will be built up, leading to swelling, inflammation, body aches and pains and weaker immunity. Unfortunately, the lymphatic system does not have a powerful pump like that of our heart to drive the circulation. It only has the help of the valves’ movements and muscle contractions in the lymphatic vessels to maintain forward lymph flow. Therefore, our lymphatic system needs stimulation to keep its optimal functioning. Drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy balanced diet and practicing deep breathing can boost your lymphatic health on a daily basis. If you feel sluggish and need extra care, you should get a lymphatic drainage massage, which applies pressure in specific ways to target lymph nodes and vessels. A sauna session will also help stimulate circulation and sweat out toxins from within your body.
Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a condition in which swelling occurs on part or all of your arms or legs, including fingers and toes. It may change the size of your limbs noticeably and come with a feeling of heaviness, restricted range of movement, body aches, recurrent infections and/or thickening of the skin. Lymphedema is the result of a disruption to the lymphatic system, undermining its ability to filter excess fluid and wastes out of your body. As at today, there is no cure for lymphedema. However, there are a number of ways to relieve the symptoms and manage this condition, including gentle exercise and manual lymphatic drainage massage.

Body Aches and Pain
Body aches and pain can be frustrating and make your daily activity more difficult. The causes are numerous: overuse of muscles or joints, injury, too much or too little exercise, water retention, inappropriate responses to stress, lack of sleep, flu infections, inflammation, arthritis and other medical conditions such as fibromyalgia and lupa. While most people with mild body aches can return to normal with simple stretch exercises, pain killers or some physio treatments, those who suffer prolonged body pain should see a medical professional for a diagnosis and a treatment plan.
When it comes to an effective relief of joint and muscular pains, our medical grade devices – Ballancer®Pro and TESLA Care systems can help.

Lipedema
What is Lipedema?
Lipedema is a chronic condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat, primarily in the legs, thighs, buttocks, and sometimes arms. It mainly affects women and is often mistaken for obesity or lymphedema. The key features of lipedema include:
- Disproportionate Fat Distribution – The lower body is significantly larger than the upper body, often with a small waist.
- Pain and Tenderness – Affected areas are painful to touch and bruise easily.
- Swelling That Doesn’t Improve with Elevation – Unlike regular fluid retention, lipedema swelling does not go away by resting or raising the legs.
- Fat That Feels Nodular or Lumpy – The tissue has a unique texture, often compared to small pearls under the skin.
- Progressive Condition – If untreated, lipedema can worsen over time, leading to mobility issues and secondary lymphedema (lipo-lymphedema).
Lipedema is not caused by obesity and does not respond well to traditional diet and exercise alone. It is a genetic and hormonal condition, often triggered or worsened by puberty, pregnancy, and menopause.
Sports Recovery
In the world of athletes, regular intensive training is part of their daily life. While intense training is required to meet the physical and physiological demands of competitions, they usually come with muscle soreness, exhaustion, injury, inflammation and, in cases of overtraining, trouble sleeping, anxiety, lower metabolism and disrupted hormones. When these symptoms occur, the athletes must assign sufficient time to rest and recover. To optimize performance results, an optimal balance between workouts and recovery is vital.
If you experience any stress signals after workouts, you should talk to your trainer or physiotherapist for a proper recovery program.

Pre-Op Preparation and Post-Op Recovery
When you decide to undertake a surgery, your surgeon will devise a pre-op preparation and post-op recovery plan listed with ‘DOs and DON’Ts’ for you. This usually covers your diet, hydration, physical activities, medication, supplements, personal care, rest time and mental support. In all cases, keeping your body as clean, healthy and fit as possible is ideal before an operation and helps you recover faster.
