Description

When you add manual lymph drainage to your arsenal of tools, you’re tapping into a system that many practitioners are completely overlooking. By stimulating the healthy and more centrally located nodes, you can create suction to pull the built-up fluid into the area with normal lymph drainage. You’re essentially harnessing the natural power of the body to restore function!

  • Quickly assess for and identify the root cause of the issue using an evidence-based framework.
  • Develop a condition specific MLD protocol that easily fits into your treatment session.
  • Utilize specific strokes that are extremely effective and not physically demanding on your body.
  • Dramatically change or even reverse disease.

With your newfound skills that activate healthy lymph notes, increase venous return and facilitate drainage from the affected limb, the patient’s search for help stops with you! You’ll become the go-to resource for alleviating swelling, heaviness, tightness, and aching from a myriad of conditions.

  • Joint replacement
  • C-section
  • Sports injuries
  • Bariatric surgery
  • Breast cancer reconstruction
  • Headaches
  • Torn muscles
  • Tendonitis
  • Bruises
  • … and many more!

Whether you’re a new therapist or seasoned practitioner, this must have certification course will provide valuable insight for incorporating MLD in the clinical setting. You’ll walk away with strategies that you can implement immediately! Help patients get their lives back with this brief and gentle treatment!
