The study investigates the effectiveness of Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) in improving venous flow and reducing symptoms in venous insufficiency patients. The primary goal is to demonstrate CDT's effects, with secondary goals assessing symptom relief, life quality improvement, and adverse effects. The trial is a simple blind randomized design, involving an experimental group receiving CDT plus exercises and a control group doing exercises alone. Participants are adults with specific classifications of venous insufficiency, excluding certain health conditions. The study will involve 12 participants in the experimental group and 9 in the control group.
