It occurs when drainage routes through the lymphatic system become blocked or damaged, which may cause hardness of the tissues (fibrosis) and an increased risk of infection. The treatment, where appropriate, includes MLD, limb volume measurements, compression garments or bandages (provided on prescription via GP), Kinesio Tape, deep oscillation therapy (Hivamat), exercise advice, self massage and lifestyle recommendations.
