Godoy & Godoy technique in the treatment of lymphedema for under-privileged populations
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to report new options in the treatment of lymphedema for under-privileged populations. Several articles and books have been published reporting recent
advances and contributions. A new technique of manual lymph drainage, mechanisms of
compression, development of active and passive exercising apparatuses and the adaptation of
myolymphokinetic activities have been developed for the treatment of lymphedema. This
novel approach can be adapted for the treatment of lymphedema in mass.
