A friend had out-patient surgery and was having all sorts of problems with fluid, drainage and clots. My massage therapist told me to have him get a referral from his doctor to a physical therapist because they are all trained in the technique. She added, doctors don't know anything about it.

So friend got a referral and went for two weeks and his legs that were twice their normal size are now back to normal but he continues to do exercises that they taught him at home and wears compression underwear and socks. jfr - I did not even know there was such a thing as compression underwear.
