La pratique du drainage lymphatique manuel est successivement passée d'une période intellectuelle à la démonstration de ses effets. La validation de ses effets a permis de supprimer les gestes inutiles et de conserver ceux qui ont une réelle action clinique. Masser les noeuds lymphatiques, masser à distance de l'oedème, travailler le ventre ou favoriser une respiration, choisir une pression d'application, sont maintenant des paramètres élucidés.
The practice of manual lymphatic drainage has successively moved from the intellectual to the demonstration of its effects. The validation of the effects has helped eliminate useless procedures and maintain those that have a real clinical effect. Massage of the lymph nodes, remote massage of the oedema, belly work or favouring respiration, choosing application pressure are now parameters that are clear.
