Lipedema is becoming increasingly recognized throughout the medical community, yet little information is provided on the disease through current lymphatic certification programs. This continuing education session will provide you with in-depth information on Lipedema, how to stage and type Lipedema, co-morbidities and differential diagnosis related to lipedema and emerging diagnostic tools for Lipedema.
You’ll explore surgical interventions and how it impacts swelling. Collaboratively evaluate the most current research on conservative treatment strategies therapists can utilize for both surgical and nonsurgical patients. Plus, examine how Lipedema impacts not only lymphatics but also its impact on psychosocial and nutritional implications.

Lisa Burraston, MS, OTR/L, CLT-LANA, graduated from the University of Utah in 2005 with her master’s degree in occupational therapy. Lisa worked at a level I trauma center for much of her career working with patients at all levels of care from ICU, trauma, orthopedics as well as medical and neuro. Lisa also taught for 3 years at a COTA program in the Salt Lake Valley, preparing future COTA professionals to enter the occupational therapy field.
Approximately 5 years ago, Lisa trained to become a certified lymphedema therapist and shortly thereafter completed her LANA certification. Lisa started the lymphedema program at the level I trauma center she was working at, and approximately 3 years ago, she transitioned into outpatient treatment for lymphatic conditions. Lisa also obtained an advanced certification in the lymphatic care of patients post plastic surgery.
A year ago, Lisa teamed with one of the leading surgeons treating lipedema to treat his patients post surgically. Through this process, Lisa has developed a passion for the lipedema population. Currently, Lisa is working with one of the leading researchers in the study of lipedema to research the ways in which lipedema affects patients in their everyday lives.
