Da Vinci famously said: “The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.” With each foot containing 26 bones, four layers of intrinsic muscles, intricate neurological and vascular network and complex biomechanics, it is not difficult to see why this statement was made.But what about the frequently overlooked and underestimated lymphatic system?
