VALIDATIONS OF THE TREATMENT OF LYMPHEDEMAS
The treatment of lymphedema is dominated by physiotherapy. Manual drainage, sometimes wrongly described, is very useful when the technique is adapted to evidence of its effectiveness. Like decongestion bandages and pneumatic pressotherapy, it allows a mobilization of the proteins that are at the heart of the management of lymphedema.
The clinical results are objective. Their maintenance remains the major problem of this definitive disease. And this therapeutic education is required.
