Treatment and management of lymphoedema
Pressotherapy in the treatment of lymphoedema
The treatment of lymphedema is based on four fundamental interventions associated in the so-called combined decongestive therapy and adapted to the affected region (limbs, neck, genitals, trunk):
- skin care to prevent injuries and infections;
- manual lymphatic drainage to promote the outflow of lymph;
- sequential pressotherapy with CE certified device
- compression therapy consisting of the application of multilayer compressive bandages and then elastic-compressive braces;
- therapeutic exercise which involves specific muscle exercises to improve lymph drainage and joint mobility, as well as to enhance muscle strength, as well as breathing exercises.
