The presence of people with lymphedema taking the waters at the thermal spa at Bagnoles-de-l'Orne led to the creation of a Lymphology Unit at the Hôpital de La Ferté-Macé, situated 5 km from the spa. A course of treatment at a spa is a considerable aid in treating lymphedema because of its filtering, resolving, keratolytic and sedative action and because of hydraulic pressure therapy. The Lymphology Unit finishes off the result using intensive care consisting of postural drainage, manual massage of lymphatic drainage, bandages, pneumatic pressure therapy and physiotherapy followed by final immobilization. Moreover, it can also carry out an intensive basic treatment or booster treatment for a short stay without spa treatment. The author sets out the first encouraging results from combining the two techniques.
