Why does elevation and massage of a member remove excess fluid of oedema?
Answers: Edema is caused by fluid surrounded by the lymphatic, or extra-vascular spaces. This fluid is usually moved into the core of the body through movement. When movement is not possible or is improbable, raising the legs or arms allows the lymph (the fluid) to flow due to gravity. Massage cause it to flow due to the movement it causes.
