Physical methods are essential in the treatment of venolymphatic insufficiency. The available materials have two modes of action, support and compression; they may be used alone or in association. Clinical experience and a few scientific works formed the basis for establishing protocols adapted to each situation. Like any major treatment, these should be under the full responsibility of physicians. Prescriptions should be precise and, in particular, evaluated for each patient by the physician himself.
