Was macht eine Ödemtherapeutin genau?
What exactly does an edema therapist do?
Edema therapy includes manual lymphatic drainage according to Vodder and physical decongestion therapies, edema grips and compression treatment to eliminate a functional disorder of the lymphatic system. Edema therapists stimulate the lymphatic vessels in order to channel accumulated lymphatic fluids, which build up in the tissue and intercellular spaces and lead to edema (swelling), back to the blood vessels and facilitate their removal. This form of physical therapy is often practiced by medical masseurs and physiotherapists with additional qualifications in oedema therapy / manual lymphatic drainage.
