The roll massage has had a great effect

“The roll massage has had a great effect; the pain is virtually gone”

Roll massage is a method based on Chinese medicine. The roll massage is available at Hagabadet’s Vitality Lab is also equipped with infrared heat, which provides extra stimulating and healing effects.

Maria Olsson, 59 years old, has been undergoing regular roll massage treatments since the end of November 2023. She noticed a significant effect after just a few treatments.

– Before having access to roll massage, I had lymphatic massage at Hagabadet. It helped to some extent with my lipedema, but when the masseur told me about the new roll, I was immediately interested in trying it, says Maria. 

“I was hooked after the first time” 

Maria immediately felt how beneficial the roll massage was for her body. Lipedema means that fat cells enlarge, and the area around them becomes easily inflamed and tender. Between the enlarged fat cells, water and fluid accumulate, leading to further swelling and tenderness.

– My first experience was not very pleasant. Because I have lipedema, it hurt, especially in certain parts of my body. However, the pain quickly turned into a ‘good pain,’ and I was prepared for the first treatment to feel this way. After the second treatment, I experienced significantly less pain, less tenderness, and left with a light feeling in my body.

Maria’s pain has largely disappeared since she started with roll massage.

– Now I have done about twelve treatments. Besides being almost completely pain-free, my body has gotten rid of a lot of excess fluid, which also benefits my other training and movement. 

A physical relief felt throughout the entire body 

Having the body cleared of excess fluid is beneficial for everyone, but especially important if you have conditions like lymphatic or lipedema.

– The feeling of concrete, physical relief in my body is so palpable. My tissue has also become softer, in a positive way. With lipedema, the tissue often feels hard and tender; now it feels soft and barely tender at all, and I don’t bruise as easily as before. 

“It’s about quality of life and holistic health” 

Lipedema is a chronic disease; it cannot be completely cured. For Maria, the important thing is to maintain a good and high quality of life despite the illness.

– My goal is to keep the lipedema in check. Now I have found a method that works.

”My focus is on feeling good; the cosmetic effect is secondary”

Since roll massage stimulates the lymphatic system and helps the body clear excess fluid around fat cells, this treatment method often has a good effect on cellulite formation.

– I believe there are women who suffer from lipedema without knowing it. Cellulite formation is part of the symptoms. For me, the goal of roll massage is to feel better and create better conditions for other exercise and training.
