| Could the technique LPG® be useful in lymphatic drainage? | ||||||
| 1. We speculate that the technique LPG ® finds its action at the cutaneous level on the vascularisation and the physiological drainage of the skin. |
|
|||||
| 2.Lympho-scintigraphy investigations of normal subjects showed that the appropriate and skill-full use of the technique LPG® potentially improves the physiological lymphatic drainage. |

1. The technique LPG ®
can potentially improve the lymphatic drainage. Indeed, fibrous
masses in the connective tissue in response
to ageing, trauma, or a non-drained interstitial oedema can be freed through
the technique LPG ®.
The use of the technique LPG® as an adjunct to the manual lymphatic drainage is illustrated opposite. |

The patients s/p mastectomy can show intra- and extra-fascicular fat accumulation,
which could explain the difficulties encountered in the traditional physical
therapy treatment (lymphatic manual drainage, presso-therapy, and bandaging).
The post-surgical oedema and fibrosis that remain despite the use of manual lymphatic drainage, presso-therapy, and bandaging (strapping) could be taken over by the technique LPG ®. Opposite, you will find scientific support to combining manual lymphatic drainage and the technique LPG® in cases of post-surgical oedema and fibrosis. Hence, in the cases
of fibro-fatty aggregation we support combining the LPG
® and the conventional approach of treating lymph-oedema.
