A series of Vodder’s “Originalmethode” Manual Lymphatic Drainage massages was carried out on the left lower limb for a total of 10 sessions spread over two weeks.

The patient was first seen on 26/11/2012 presenting with a swollen left leg with a post-blood collection hematoma at the back of the thigh. The treatment proceeds with MLD and the application of Kinesio Tape in lymphatic correction for the post-blood collection hematoma.

At the end of the treatment cycle the limb has obtained an excellent volumetric decrease: the average of the measurements of the circumference were smaller than the apparent muscular hypotonia. The patient continued with hydrokinesitherapy, muscle strengthening and functional rehabilitation. At present knee extension is complete, the flex is equal to approximately 80°.
