STRATA provides a new approach to the nonsurgical management of Lipedema
The Clinical Expertise Behind STRATA.
The STRATA approach combines decades of hands-on clinical, soft tissue practice with specialized tissue assessment, evidence-based treatments, and individualized care strategies. Built on more than 26 years of clinical experience in the fields of lymphedema and lipedema management, including complex vascular and wound management, the Doctor of Physical Therapy-led, STRATA clinical framework represents a trailblazing approach to the management of lipedema.
STRATA is a restorative wellness and tissue revitalization experience designed to address the complex needs of individuals living with lipedema, chronic swelling, and connective tissue dysfunction. Our approach extends beyond the limitations of conventional insurance-and conservative care services.
Our mission is to help clients better understand their bodies, support long-term tissue health, empower women with knowledge about this complex disease process and its driving factors, and experience meaningful improvements in comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
At STRATA, we believe it's time to rethink that approach.
Our restorative wellness programs are designed to support tissue health, reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and empower women with a deeper understanding of their bodies.
Conservative Care Should Be More Than a Stepping Stone to Surgery
Surgery should be a choice—not the only path to meaningful relief.
We believe every woman living with lipedema deserves access to effective, affordable, nonsurgical care.
Surgical intervention can provide meaningful relief for appropriately selected patients, but it is invasive, carries risks, and often comes with a financial burden that places it beyond the reach of many women.
Conservative management is generally an important part of lipedema care. Yet traditional approaches may fall short of adequately addressing the complex tissue changes, persistent pain, swelling, and functional limitations associated with Lipedema.
When conservative care is viewed primarily as something a woman must fail before progressing to surgery, we overlook its potential as a valuable, long-term treatment pathway.
Our Philosophy
STRATA means “layers,” and the name reflects the way we understand the body. Lipedema is not simply a condition of excess fat. It involves multiple layers and systems of your body, including fat, connective tissue, lymphatic function, muscular movement and stability, and neurologic and cardiovascular function.
We look beyond a single symptom or body part. We consider the layers of the body and the layers of the person—how you move, how you feel, how your tissues function, how your body changes, and how those changes affect confidence and quality of life.
Our Services
At STRATA, we know the body has many parts that work together. That is why we don’t use just one type of treatment. We bring together different ideas, hands-on care, special tools, exercise, and wellness treatments to help the whole body work better. Each part has a job, and we put the right pieces together for each person.
