Jesse Cochrane, PhD / Courtney Mascio Lipedema Foundation - Lipedema: From Diagnosis to Treatment – Clinical Insights and Fascial Connections

In this upcoming Fascia Research Society webinar, Jesse Cochrane and Courtney Mascio explore the complex and often misunderstood condition of lipedema through both clinical and fascial perspectives. The session will examine current approaches to diagnosis, common clinical presentations, and the challenges many patients face in obtaining appropriate recognition and care.

Drawing on emerging research and clinical experience, the presenters will discuss the potential role of fascia and connective tissue in lipedema, including how fascial dysfunction may contribute to pain, tissue changes, mobility limitations, and altered biomechanics. The webinar will also address conservative and interdisciplinary treatment approaches, providing practical insights for clinicians working with individuals living with lipedema.

This webinar will be of interest to manual therapists, movement professionals, rehabilitation clinicians, researchers, and healthcare practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of the relationship between fascia, adipose tissue disorders, and whole-person care.
