| The stockings are designed to prevent and and alleviate Lymphostasis, the congestion of venous blood and lymph. Some women complain of pain, an ache or heavy sensation in the affected arm without the arm actually measuring more, and it is sometimes questionable whether this is lymphoedema or post-operative lymphostasis. The technique involves deep abdominal massage to the trunk to increase lymphocinetic activity, followed by light massage to clear lymphostasis in the proximal, middle, and finally distal portions of the involved limb. |
