Description

Expand your massage therapy skills and broaden your practice. Lymph drainage massage can be extremely beneficial to clients who suffer from allergies, have had recent surgery, or suffer from edema. The treatment is quite relaxing to the client as it has a highly calming effect on the body.

In this exclusive course, based on Dr. Emil Vodder's method of manual lymph drainage, you will learn the anatomy of the lymphatic system, including lymph nodes, vessels and angions. You will also master the locations of the basic nodes and the drainage patterns the lymph follow.

The information was difficult to confirm. In several instances information given either did not match the book or other speakers or was difficult to find. The wording on the test also did not match up with information being given. I was super interested in the subject but feel it could be polished up quite a bit. This was the first course I have taken from this company that I didn't give a 10/10 on.

Would be nice to receive detailed recommendations for clinical "practice" before offering services to the public. Also where they recommend to further the knowledge of LDM (I've also hear this called MLD).
