The progressive course of lymphedema can only be effectively stopped through consistent application of physical decongestive interventions. Out-patient edema management as part of physical therapy is especially challenging for lymph drainage therapists. This manual offers a whole range of practical solutions for all areas of treatment.

In order to effectively manage lymphedema, edema due to chronic venous insufficiency and post-traumatic edema, the correct use and competent implementation of the various individual measures and intensive and ongoing compliance on the part of the patient is indispensable.

With its clear pictures, this user-oriented book – written by practitioners for practitioners – illustrates the concept for diagnosis and treatment put forward by experienced specialists in this area in a compact and impressive manner.
