Ask any 10 women about cellulite, and 8 of them will probably respond with grimaces, eye rolls, or exasperated sighs - while those lucky other two shrug and smile. Cellulite shows up on the buttocks, thighs, and bellies of so many women, and yet it's considered a flaw, a condition - even a disease! Squeeze it, pinch it, poke it, or try to hide it under concealing clothes or beneath the shade of a tan, but it persists. Oh, cellulite, so common, so hated, yet so misunderstood... What is cellulite? Proteins just beneath the skin's surface form a layer that gives skin its elasticity. These fibrous cords also connect our skin to our muscle. Between the skin and the muscle lies a store of fat. When the fat presses against the fibrous net, you get that familiar dimpled flesh effect of cellulite with its "orange-peel" or "cottage cheese" appearance. It's the same effect you'd get if you pulled a net down over a blob of jelly. While it is not a pathological condition, cellulite is an aesthetic problem most commonly forming around the areas of the hips, thighs, and buttocks. It can also be found on the breasts and upper arms. Why does cellulite happen? The fibrous layer beneath our skin can become stretched or less able to rebound. As we age, our skin naturally loses some elasticity, so that layer of fat beneath the skin becomes more visible. Weight gain can also make cellulite more apparent, as excess fat strains against the skin. However, cellulite can also be present in thin people, because everyone has layers of fat beneath the skin surface. Other risk factors include genetics, diet, and hormone changes. Who gets cellulite? Cellulite shows up on the skin of women of all shapes and sizes, from supermodels to super-moms, from skinny-minny socialites to the woman next to you on the morning train. A sedentary or stressed-out life may predispose a woman to cellulite. Why do men rarely have cellulite? First off, men gain less weight around their thighs and hips than women do. And men's thicker skin and way of storing fat - their fat-storing cells are smaller so they store fat in smaller amounts - rescue them from the blight of bumpy cellulite. Can you get rid of it? Women try melting it, massaging it, and medicating it away. Some even wear anti-cellulite skivvies, specially designed undergarments that work a bit like support hose. But no cream, potion, or treatment has been scientifically proven effective in miraculously zapping cellulite. Even those treatments that result in minimal improvements don't tend to hold up over time. The simple fact is that cellulite is a result of fat. You can mask fat or hide it, but you can't magically erase it. To shake off cellulite with lifestyle changes, you'll need to do the same sorts of things you'd do to get rid of other body fat: eat a healthy diet, high in fibre and low in fats, drink plenty of water, and stay active with regular cardio and strength training exercise. Massage and stimulation of your circulation may help, too, though it's just another of the many scientifically unproven theories about cellulite. With recent advances in cosmetic technologies, there are many promising treatment options for cellulite reduction. But there is not yet an effective single treatment available for a long-term solution. Remember, cellulite is not a pathological condition! As long as you are living a healthy lifestyle and keeping a positive self-image, a few ripples shouldn’t concern you too much. Amy Toffelmire

Anticelulitna masaža Što je celulit? Celulit su nakupine tekućine i masnoće u najdubljem sloju kože (subcutisu), a najčešće zahvaća područje stražnjice, bokova, bedara, koljena, trbuha i nadlaktice. Iako se uglavnom smatra estetskim problemom, ne liječi li se na vrijeme i na odgovarajući način, celulit može prerasti u zdravstveni problem. Celulit se nikada ne može ukloniti zauvijek i u potpunosti, no može ga se držati pod kontrolom. Kako liječimo celulit? Kako bismo celulit uspješno liječili, obavljamo inicijalni pregled – utvrđujemo stadij celulita, mjerimo obujam tkiva na tipičnim mjestima i postotak tjelesne masnoće, tzv. pinch-testom. Na temelju dobivenih podataka određujemo plan liječenja. Liječenje se provodi kontinuirano, a u mnogim slučajevima traje i više od mjesec dana. Osnovu našeg programa liječenja celulita čini anticelulitna masaža, koja se razlikuje od klasične masaže po svojim specifičnim pokretima. Koliko će biti čvrsti pokreti fizioterapeuta ovisi o tkivu pacijenta. Ako je tkivo jako osjetljivo i postoji mogućnost njegova oštećenja (stvaranja podljeva, pucanja kapilara...), liječenje započinjemo blažim oblikom masaže – ručnom limfnom drenažom. Masažom možemo tretirati sve tzv. kritične zone: trbuh, struk (straga sve do potpazušnih jama), nadlaktice, stražnjicu i noge (koljena, prednju, stražnju, unutarnju i vanjsku stranu bedara). Sastavni dio našeg programa liječenja celulita je i ultrazvučna terapija (kavitacija). Nakon tretmana celulit će biti uklonjen u najvećoj mogućoj mjeri, a koža će biti čvršća i sjajnija. Da bi se postignuti rezultati liječenja celulita održali dugoročno, preporučaju se redovite masaže.
