Lymphatic drainage massage, or lymphedema massage, is an important part of managing leg lymphedema and lipedema. Follow along for a FULL manual lymph drainage (MLD) routine. I describe the techniques and sequence I use to decrease lymphedema and also address fibrosis. I also discuss and review differences of sequencing for those with lymphedema in both legs compared to just the left leg only.

Compression garments are used to help reduce swelling or for lymphedema treatment anywhere in the body. Night-time compression garments are less known but are essential to help get rid of swelling. There are a significant number of different types, fabrics, and fittings on the market, and it can be overwhelming. As a Certified Lymphedema physical therapist, I go through some of the best brands and styles of night-time compression garments out there right now and share who they would each be best for.
