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.
患有淋巴水肿的人在巴尼奥勒-德洛讷的温泉浴场泡温泉，促使距离该温泉浴场5公里的拉费尔泰-马塞医院设立了一个淋巴学科室。温泉疗法对治疗淋巴水肿有很大帮助，这是因为温泉具有过滤、消肿、角质溶解和镇静作用，还因为有液压疗法。淋巴学科室通过强化护理来巩固治疗效果，强化护理包括体位引流、淋巴引流手法按摩、绷带包扎、气压疗法和物理治疗，最后进行固定。此外，该科室也可以在不进行温泉疗法的情况下，进行短期的强化基础治疗或辅助治疗。作者阐述了将这两种技术相结合所取得的初步喜人成果。
