By the end of this two-day course, you will possess the ability to understand and perform a full lymphatic drainage with confidence.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a highly specialised technique that can be used to treat many injuries and pathologies. It can be performed as a preventative technique that bolsters our bodies' ability to rejuvenate and resist all types of stress.
MLD not only stimulates the vital functions of the skin, tissues and internal organs, but also serves to eliminate cellular waste and stimulate the parasympathetic relaxation response inhibiting muscle tonus and pain. It provides an excellent tool for massage therapists when regular massage is contraindicated.
• All areas of the body will be reviewed and students will be provided with an understanding of the lymphatic system and the implications and complications that are associated with MLD.
By the end of this two-day course, you will possess the ability to understand and perform a full lymphatic drainage with confidence and skill.
