Margherita is lying on massage table, covered with a white towel. Another person, wearing a black shirt, is gently holding and supporting the first person's arm, as if performing a manual lymphatic drainage therapy. The setting is a softly lit room with similar wall decorations as the first image.

Our new manual lymphatic drainage therapy is helping patients with lymphoedema reclaim their lives. Margherita developed painful swelling after breast cancer treatment, but after six sessions, she can now raise her arm to dance again.

Two people sit closely together on a train, with one person’s arm wrapped around the other in a casual yet affectionate manner. They are seated at a table next to a large window, through which a blurred outdoor scene is visible. The train's interior appears well-lit and comfortable, with soft lighting and neutral-toned upholstery.
