This 16-hour course gives a thorough introduction to Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM), a gentle form of bodywork that aids the natural flow of lymph to improve immunity, remove toxins and reduce edema throughout the body. Hands-on work will cover techniques for working with the extremities. Students will learn the basic anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system, pathologies, indications, and contraindications for the work. Concepts of LDM will be discussed, including the effects and benefits of the work. Understanding the use of LDM techniques will allow students to incorporate this work into their practice and combine LDM with other modalities.
