Abstract
Physiotherapy dominates the treatment of limb lymphoedema. Its decongestion is mainly carried out by combination of manual lymphatic drainage, pneumatic drainage and bandages with or without an increased muscular pump effect. The decongestive result is maintained by two complementary elements: the wearing of elasto-rigid socks and the respect of certain rules of living.
