Manual lymph drainage

Complex decongestant physiotherapy (CDP), which includes manual lymph drainage, is a therapeutic technique that stimulates the lymph vessels and lymph nodes and encourages the drainage of lymph. This method is essential for reducing oedema and preventing tissue changes in congested areas.

Reimbursed by basic health insurance, the sessions are carried out by two of our physiotherapists specially trained in this method.

How does the treatment work to effectively reduce oedema?

Complex decongestant physiotherapy (CDP) consists of four essential phases:

• 1st pillar: manual lymphatic drainage
• 2nd pillar: compression
• 3rd pillar: physical exercise
• 4th pillar: hygiene and skin care

Neuromotor reprogramming method

The Allyane neuromotor reprogramming method is a therapeutic innovation specialising in motor rehabilitation. It targets patients who have lost mobility as a result of trauma, surgery or neurological pathology. This unique method aims to restore motor control by reactivating the brain patterns associated with movement, which are often ‘deactivated’ after a motor incident.

Course of treatment :
The process is based on a combination of techniques: proprioception (perception of limb position), mental imagery, and the emission of low-frequency sounds through the Alphabox®, a patented device. A 90-minute session, followed by maintenance exercises at home, helps the patient to integrate these new motor patterns in a lasting way, while continuing with conventional rehabilitation.

Suitable only for patients with no major joint pain or peripheral involvement, this side-effect-free approach has shown significant efficacy, enabling natural, fluid motor function to be regained more quickly.
